Coffee & Chat
Due to the number of members who have escaped to warmer climes, or who have been suffering from the cold, a small but happy group met for coffee and a chat in June.
The next get-together is on Tuesday, 15th July at 10.00 am at Olive Lane Café, Doncaster Road, North Balwyn Village where the room is warmly heated, great coffee is served and a great range of eats are available,
Hope you can join us. Text or email: jancheney@bigpond.com

Walking Group : Janene Marshall
14th July - Springthorpe (Mont Park/Macleod) - Meet in Ernest Jones Drive near the corner of Springthorpe Blvd. (Melways 19 J7). Best way to travel is straight along Upper Heidelberg Road, which then becomes Waiora Road, then Springthorpe Blvd. Ernest Jones Drive is on the left, second street from the start of Springthorpe Blvd.
Just before WW1, the State Government acquired the Mont Park site for the construction of a Hospital and asylum. Today La Trobe University operates many of the remaining buildings in the Springthorpe Estate which borders the La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary. After our walk we will drive back along Waiora Road then down Lower Plenty Road to Rosanna for coffee at Hunter Lane Café across from Rosanna Station.
Leader Jenene Marshall.
28th July - Glenferrie - Meet behind the Glenferrie Oval, (the old Hawthorn Football Club).
(Melways 45 D10). There are two car parks, one to the left and one to the right between Linda Cr and Hilda Cr before roundabout. We will walk along Kinkora Rd and Chrystobel Cr, all with beautiful architecture. Coffee at Provence Bakery and their delicious French pastries. Leaders Helga and Rita.
