Local outing for The Kings Birthday

This Saturday the harriers head for Flat Top Hill at Butchers Dam. Meet 1pm corner Walton & Thompson streets to car pool out with A-Ls duty pack this week.

This past Saturday would have to be one of the warmest days to start winter , with that warm foehn nor west wind making for a pleasant day.

I didn’t make it myself , as I aggravated a calf muscle injury by walking down some stairs , so will have to make  up what happened  as I go along.

I suspect there was a much lower turnout compared to Little Valley the previous week. Usually a large number of members stay at home ,waiting by the phone to be advised of their Kings Honour. It appears at least one group made their way around the Boot hill  area. In other news Alexandra Police are investigating reports of strange people peering through the windows of their houses. Anyone with info should call 10-5. They also appear to have located the dead centre of Alexandra during their wanderings. All that talking  going on ,enough to make one roll over in your grave. With no snakes in the grass reporting who got up to what ,will make this do.

And now a couple of messages from Alison

Boots for sale

A pair of wonderful Lowa brand women boots –  I paid over $500 for them new but are just a bit small for me. They are a couple of years old, show very little wear and have always been treated etc. Full leather, Vibram sole and Gortex waterproofing – and they are waterproof!! Check out online reviews – they are always highly rated.
