Brew and Chew

Ian Phillips 0428 858 272

At the time of writing B+C has two meetings ahead – 28th October and 25th November at 10.00am at the Camberwell Library.

Given that this will be read next month, if at all, much will then be known at the next meeting that is speculation now – the Cup, mid-terms, which party has promised what and even cricket results.

Nevertheless, the next meeting will likely be filled with comment from those participating in the Mt Gambier trip – a refreshing and rather restful trip (judging by the somnolence prevailing in the bus most afternoons).

Including first the Blue Lake and later, the rather grey wet lake.

It also demonstrated what treasures most of the B+C blokes have, or have had, in their sheds and yards – once restored, junk become artefacts: that is however rather disparaging as the collection at Millicent in particular was magnificent, ranging from anvils to ladies’ night caps, together with sheds of glorious farm machinery of all sorts.

Visits to (Lord) Nelson and (Lady) Hamilton reminded us of the sea-hero’s many conquests – the lighthouse at the Cape seemed singularly apt.

The food and accommodation at Mt Gambier was really good, and reminds the participants to give a thumbs up to Tripadvisor or whoever.

So, ladies, encourage your gent to participate in Brew and Chew - at least you will get a morning to yourself. The conversation starts at Camberwell Library on the fourth Wednesdays, the 28th of October and the 25th of November, at 10.00am.
