The Friday Coffee group met at the Botanix Cafe at Palmers on March 20. The ladies had a good fun time meeting before the lockdown.
A group of WINGS ladies, along with their families, enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon at the James Homestead to celebrate International Women's Day on Sunday 8th March. We played games in the beautiful garden, had a fabulous tea provided by Paula and enjoyed each it in her's company. I recall that we represented Australasia, Europe, the Far East, Africa, Canada.....hope no-one was left out!
"We got WET at Adrenalin Adventure Park!! A group a WINGS members and friends got into the water to challenge them self on the big inflatable obstacle course on the lake. While the "not so keen on getting wet" members were sitting under the gazebo chating and having a laugh watching us from the shore, we had a blast sliding, slipping, jumping, falling,swimming and also kayaking and paddle-boarding on the lake. We shared a picnic on the grass before going back onto the inflatables. A fun day for everyone!"
A team of volunteers from the charity 'Pet Therapy' brought their dogs to the March WINGS theme meeting. We enjoyed an informative talk by Paula who told us about the charity's origins and the type of help the pets give to patients and children. The dogs provide comfort to sick hospital patients; visit Rest-Home residents and even encourage children in school with their reading. The children love reading to the dogs as they are such good listeners. Valuable work by the committed volunteers and their pets.
