Following the presentation of awards by life members Col McNeil, Ron McPherson, Maree Boughton along with ex WSC president Ron Wilson and current WSC president Ken Malpass the evening became more relaxed and the music began with adults and juniors alike having some fun.
The juniors tried their hand at 'potty fishing' thanks to Ned (Barron) bringing along the game and they had a great time trying to catch a fish or two.
Publicity officer Pam had her camera working overtime and captured some highlights of the evening for the club records.
Once again many thanks to all who attended and made the night another successful one.
Members are reminded that the next outing will be held over the weekend of March 28/29 with the barbecue lunch followed by weigh in being held on Sunday from 12 noon so hope to see you all there.
