Day five - final day

Friday 5th September - Ruth and I set off from Bendigo on a two or so hour drive to Shepparton, where the members of Caniambo branch were the hostess branch.
On arrival at the Shepparton East Football Club rooms we were greeted by members from 19 branches: Caniambo, Pine Lodge, Yarrawonga, Myrtleford, Shepparton East, Grnahamvale, Shepparton Sunset, Youanmite, Catrandra West, Congupna, Rodney, Rushworth, CWA Potters, Dookie, Sheridan Kyabram, Murchison, Milloo, Thoona, Mooroopna. 

A lovely lunch was enjoyed with much conversation followed by Ruth's presentation and taking of questions.
Mid afternoon Ruth and I parted ways, her to head home to Dubbo, NSW, me to Gippsland. We have had 5 marvellous days, meeting many hundreds of members and friends in various locations across Victoria.
Ruth has left with me a copy of her presentation - 'A trip around the South Pacific'- introducing us to our sister societies and the work of the past few years. If anyone would like a copy, contact me via our Office.
So, a big thanks, to all tho assisted in so many ways, to all those members who came - many travelling great distances.
