5W 25th ANNIVERSARY ACTIVITIES

 

SEQLD members of 5W celebrated this special event with:

 

1) ANNIVERSARY DINNER 23 May

 

2) RECIPE BOOK

The Recipe Book will be available for purchase at the meetings and activities of the Group.  It is priced as follows: $20 for 3 copies; $7 for 1 copy. The price will increase only in the event of unexpected (and unlikely) additional costs. Of course, it should be possible to purchase copies at subsequent meetings. The book is a quality production with approximately 250 recipes, 97 x A5 (½ A4) pages, coloured chapter pages, an Index, clear PVC covers front & back. Postage extra.

 

3) SPONSORSHIP OF 1ST INDONESIAN MEMBER

She is a young woman who has studied in Qld, and voluntarily provided internet support to some of our SEQld members. We believe that she will be a wonderful ambassador for 5W and for her country.

 

OTHER ACTIVITIES

From time to time, there are many other activities organised or conducted by members - concerts, galleries, talks, films, coffee mornings, picnics, weekends away, special parties (e.g. Melbourne Cup), meeting interstate and overseas members. Ask for details.

 

BOOK GROUP

The Book Group now attracts up to 14 members for a very happy occasion of book discussion, delicious food and conversation - mainly about travel. The ideal number for a Book Group is 8 to 10. Therefore, reluctantly, it has been decided to close the Book Group membership at this time. Anyone who has attended in the past is considered to be a member and is welcome to attend, but others wishing to join in must either wait for a vacancy or start a 2nd group.
