Lean on me – Wednesday 25th July 2018

The community spirit of the BnB has really been highlighted for me over the last few weeks. With the sad passing of an old friend of the group and the recent health battle of one of our fellow WOWs. The love and friendship of the group has really made me feel warm inside knowing that I’m a part of such a special and caring bunch of people who will go far over and above for each other in their time of need.

This morning I attempted to capture this.

Shelley wasn’t quite feeling ‘herself’ today at Shelly and needed carrying. That’s what friends are for.

Definitely not herself…

BnB friends can help with new technology…

Or a tight wetsuit needing some extra oomph to be zipped up…

Wilf was in a predicament where he couldn’t get his cap on! Lucky there was help nearby.

The sunrise was spectacular as always, reminding us that it’s a new day and to be grateful for every one you have.

BnB swimmers are friends of the ocean, today the discussion was about plastic waste and how we can do our part to reduce our consumption. As well as picking up rubbish as we swim.

Nebbie Liz was loving the friendly people down at the swim but was reluctant to get in the cold water after her lake swim in 24 degree water back in the UK

Monthly Dinner – 14^th August 2018 – Guest Speaker

The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 14th August at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest speaker on the night will be B&B swimmer, Brendan Maher. Brendan, who describes himself as a very average swimmer, managed to overcome a chronic shoulder injury and swim the English Channel in July 2017. He will speak of his motivation, training for the swim, and what it’s like for the average swimmer to attempt a marathon swim. This talk will be an inspiration to all of us who count ourselves in the ‘B Team’ (or even the Zeds!).

The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential:  To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
