The visit will be to the glasshouse at Yanco Agric. Institute (ie Tocal campus and NOT Yanco High School).
Go up the main drive. Cross the Main Canal. Continue straight through the roundabout. Keep the swimming pool on the right. Thake the first right past the main (old) administration building and go past the library. You should then see the glasshouse.

Sergeants Session – Bill Aliendi
Bill started by fining all those who last week ignored the fact that it is rude to wear a hat at the dinner table. He also took aim at the Mayor for his love of food. This was highlighted by the fact that the said Mayor had seconds at the meeting and THEN had dessert.
Thanks for a great session, Bill. Clearly, you were ‘fired up’ by the visit to the Fire Station.

Crocodile Tears
Once there was a billionaire, who collected live crocodiles. He kept them in the pool behind his mansion. The billionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single.
One day, the billionaire decided to throw a huge party, and during the party he announced, “My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars, or my daughter, to the man who can swim across this pool full of crocodiles and emerge unharmed!” As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large splash in the pool. The guy in the pool was swimming with all his might, and the crowd began to cheer him on. Finally, he made it to the other side of the pool unharmed.
The billionaire was impressed. He said, “That was incredible! Fantastic! I didn’t think it could be done! Well, I must keep my end of the bargain. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?”
The guy caught his breath, then said, “Listen, I don’t want your money! And I don’t want your daughter! I want the idiot who pushed me into the pool!”
