We are settling in with the change 6 months ago. Wollongong / Illawarra have joined in with the main body on runs to get to know you as well them us.

Our runs coming up the Har’s Day will also be a run for our main body so we hope to see them attend in numbers; unfortunately I cannot attend (family matters). They have also made Robertson Railway Heritage Day a joint run. Our run to Burragorang will be lead by Pat (the Rat) Fagan, I know how and where he got the “Propellers”, I’ll have to find out how he got the nickname “Pat the Rat”. Also our run to Tamora will have to be put off for a later time as their Flight Day doesn’t co enside with the month we were going. Then there is the run to Thirlmere which will have to wait until after April due to Fire Restrictions

Heard through the grapevine that Colin Stewart had a short stay in hospital and that Rosalynd has been keeping in contact with Patricia and he is home and is slowly recovering.

For those who weren’t at our December meeting we were surprised that Santa gave us a visit. I hope the photo’s that were taken will be in the Newsletter

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas with family and friends and hope the forth coming year will be better than the last.

Christmas at the Fagan’s.

Friday 11th December 2009

Scrooge was sat in his usual place when the guests arrived.
Actually I was getting the tables and chairs out of the shed with the help of Ian ready for the night, whatever the night would bring.
One by one the merry Morrie people arrived, the festive lights were on; Rose had
done her magic with two trifles. We also had a lovely cheese cake and mince pies etc.
Every one more or less brought their own food, however, several of us got to gether to get chickens cut into eight and shared the cost between us.
You would not believe the trouble I had to put that into action, getting Mcdonald’s for the kids and chicken for us. (Why is it that some people in a queue of 10 people deep, arrive at the counter, THEN decide what to have?) Anyway, on arrival with the spoils, I received a big cheer from the old skeletons sat at the table.
We had a very pleasant night, 17 in all in attendance.
Most people had departed by 10-00 pm and after a bit of cleaning up, I was studying the backs of my eyelids by 11-00 pm with the odd release of pressure.

Pat the Rat.
