The birthday babies for September were Lorraine Todd, Merv Langfield, Kevin Rubie and John Brown. Good news from our two hospital patients, they are improving and hoped to be home on the weekend.

The winners of Saturday’s games were John Cole, Dorothea Croker, Bruce and Lorna Field, Bob Murray and Alec Todd who all won three games each. Congratulations.
