The guest speaker for the night will be Canadian-born, Australian authorCatherine DeVrye, whose talk is titled ‘Shift Happens’. You’ll laugh while you learn about turning obstacles into opportunities, as Catherine shares her journey from an orphanage in Canada to #1 best-selling author, Australian Executive Woman of the Year winner, and the 2010 Australian Keynote Speaker of the Year.
The cost of the dinner is only $25 a head and includes shared entrees, a selection of mains to choose (incl a vegetarian option), corkage (for byo wine only) and a little thank you for the staff. 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.

*B & B Trivia Night*
As you are aware B&B is a free for all activity, but there are ongoing
costs that need to be met. To help support B&B and keep it the wonderful,
inclusive, growing phenomena that it is we will be arranging a fund-raising
Trivia Night at The Steyne Hotel on Tuesday 12th July. Please keep this
date free so you can come along. In order to make this event a success, we
are asking for:
– volunteers to assist in the organisation of the event
– donation of goods and or services that can be used as auction items or
raffle prizes
If you can assist with either of these can you please contact John Kelly (
jmk@balancemanagement.net.au).
*Winter Badge*
It’s nearly that time again. Winter is coming … and so are the winter
badges. The winter swimming season runs from 1 June to 31 August, and to
qualify for your winter badge, you must:
– swim at least 20 times during this period
– swim in at least 7 different weeks
– log your swims
To qualify for the WWW badge (winter without wetsuit) you must complete all
of the above without wearing a wetsuit or any other form of bodily thermal
enhancement (don’t forget to check the “without wetsuit” button on the log
in screen). Why not give it a try? Any questions – email Ian (
ugoboyo@gmail.com)

Brilliant blog Simon. It showed me what I missed out on today as I had to make a trip to the airport. I love the photos featuring that amazing band of cloud. Stunning!
