NOEL CELEBRATES 80 PLUS ONE YEARS
Due to COVID restrictions last year Noel Pengilly was unable to celebrate his 80th birthday, however he was able to make up for it this year on his 81st birthday.
Family and friends from as far as Sydney, Nowra, Central Coast, Orange, Tumut, Wagga Wagga, Temora, Young and all the local area, gathered at the Eugowra Showground Pavilion last Sunday. Here they all enjoyed the beautiful food provided by caterers Eat Your Greens and the camaraderie of family and friends.
Emcee for the occasion was Noel's son Justin, who commenced proceedings with a Trivia quiz on Noel's life, which provided a few laughs.
In his speech the guest of honour spoke of his days playing rugby league with Eugowra, his early school days at Eugowra Central School and then at Wolaroi College in Orange, and was especially pleased to have some of these old school friends present on the day.
He was also pleased to have business associates from Sydney and the local area attend as well. Noel also mentioned his appreciation of family who have helped over the years and he was grateful to have three elderly aunties who were able to attend his party.
Noel finished by thanking everyone for coming along and enjoying this milestone event with him.
Following the cutting of the celebration cake, guests joined Noel enjoying the very tasty caramel layered cake with their choice of beverage.
A wonderful day enjoyed by all in attendance.
