Melbourne Cup Meeting - 3rd November
Today's meeting was extra special. We started at 7.00 with a Melbourne Cup breakfast of fruit salad, croissants, pastries, coffee and juice. As part of the Chatswood Early Risers tradition we wore hats and dressed for the occasion. Ian and Jan organised a sweepstake and the winners will be announced in a later email.
There were three speeches this morning. Juma told us about Clouds and introduced us to the Cloud Appreciation Society in the UK. Victor spoke about his hobby of growing roses in his garden, and Sung continued the story of his personal computer game - "Sung Quest 3".I learnt a new word today - FASCINATOR - a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn almost exclusively by women. There were two fascinators worn today - see if you can find then in the photos!
