The Beach Blog: St Patrick's Day Photo Album

There were a heap of excellent photo's taken on St Patrick's Day which couldn't all go into John's report so here are a few more for you to enjoy.

We would like to thank the Shire of Waroona for supporting the event through Summer Events funding. This funding meant that we could offer a meal to the local community for a tiny $5 a plate - where else will you get a good feed for so little?!!

I wish we had 'smellavision' because the aroma's coming off the cooking pot were just amazing and the flavour of the stew was something to write home about. Best stew ever! Well done boys.

Fred - not just a clever sparky but a pretty good gardener too!

Shire President Noel Dew pitching in with spud duties - is there no boundary Noel?

Of course, these events don't just materialise overnight. John and his band of workers put a lot of effort into the planning and execution of the day. A team of willing hands turned up on the Friday night prior to St Paddy's to peel a ton of vegetables (might have exagerated a little), dice meat, set up marquees and do a general tidy up. Fred did his lighting tricks as usual - what would we do without his special talent?

John has thanked Dave for his help with the main course and I would like to add thanks to the ladies who supplied a delicious range of desserts; Carmel for a trifle and pavlova (how fast did that go??) and Larraine for the green jelly trifle.

The terrible triplets from Tipperary

We all know how good the "not so rusty" Hay Seeds are but what a surprise when Dave Forsey came out and did his Elvis numbers for us. We are very lucky to have such a wealth of talent on our doorsteps and no doubt we'll be seeing more of Dave and the boys at the next function.

We had a big crowd and they spread out over the grounds of the community hall including the use of the rotunda area which is fast gaining in popularity at events because of the cool breezes and lovely shade from the peppermint trees. Personally, I can't wait to see the hall extentions underway and the proposed deck out from the paved area installed. The view over the golf course is there to enjoy.
