Petula Clark is performing in Adelaide on Friday 17th. May and last Friday I had the thrill of recording an interview with her, which will be going to air on Sat. am, 11th. May on Coast FM. An artist who has sold over 70 million recordings and still loves performing.
Did you read the lovely article about David Rowe in the Boomer section of the Advertiser on Monday 22nd April about him playing tennis with Viscount Althorp Edward John Spencer in 1954, featuring two pictures?
Last Saturday, Julie and Katrina attended a District Rotary Meeting, which now allows our club to apply for district grants in the new Rotary year.
On Sunday, David Riggall, Liz Tilley and myself did the bread run which is good fun and takes very little time.
Dean and Pam leave for Tassie on Tues. and Sally and I leave for the Kimberley on Wed. Julie Campbell has very kindly offered to fill in as treasurer and will also be the acting president on Thursday 16th. May.

Smith climbed to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God. Looking up, he asked the Lord.. "God, what does a million years mean to you?" The Lord replied, "A minute." Smith asked, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?" The Lord replied, "A penny." Smith asked, "Can I have a penny?" The Lord replied, "In a minute."
