Saturday 14th May saw a bus load of U 3 A folk off for a fun day out at Kilmore Races. We arrived about one hour before the first race and settled in on our long table set behind full glass windows overlooking the finishing post, what more could you ask for on a winters day. Some opted to place a bet on the races, some went in to tickle the pokies and some just sat back and unwound from the hustle and bustle of everyday life enjoying seeing the jockeys mount up and horses lead out onto the race track for the next big race. A beautiful lunch of either lasagne, chips and salad or chicken parma chips and salad was next up on the agenda followed by strawberry baskets with ice-cream or cheesecake and cream warmed the cockles of our hearts. A lot of musical chairs went on throughout the day with lots of laughter, especially when Jan Newton couldnt read the print in the race book so she opted for a mystery bet only to win $50 on one the next race, and 5 other women pooled their money into a kitty for the days betting, picking the horses by their names and not on form guide, to come out with their money back was fun. We did hear of one BIG win at the pokies but wont mention names and believe this win is going towards a holiday north? Well done S..ah and B..yl . Thanks to Dennis Hodge who was our Bus Driver his smooth trip home gave Peter Luke time for a wee nap, and to Odette Hunter thanks again for giving us this opportunity to share time together and have a laugh.

FLOWERDALE Tennis Clubs new courts were finished with less than 24 hours to spare for their official opening earlier this month. Finishing touches were added to the four new synthetic grass courts a day before the May 7 opening which attracted more than 180, including members of the Yea Tennis Club, Glenbervie Tennis Club in Essendon, representatives of the NSW Malua Bay Tennis Club, Murrindindi Shire representatives, VicSport and the Flowerdale community. Ms Kamar said 56 people participated in a round-robin before the official opening by the Member for Seymour, Cindy McLeish. Junior winners were Bryn Thomson, 10, of Fairfield and Sarah Kielbaska, 12, of Flowerdale. Senior winners were Fiona Henson and Chris Adshead. Adults and juniors later enjoyed trying out Tennis Victorias radar gun that measured serving speed and Flowerdales coach Colin Grace joined with Tennis Victoria in taking about 20 juniors through their paces on the hot shots program Flowerdale Tennis Club president Jeannette Kamar said that the club looked forward to seeing maximum use of the courts. These courts are not just for the tennis club but for the whole community, Ms Kamar said. Ms Kamar said there were many to thank for the courts, including the state and federal governments, Murrindindi Shire and Tennis Victoria. Ms Kamar said the Glenbervie Tennis Club provided wonderful moral support to the club in the aftermath of the fires and over the past two years and donated $15,000. Malua Bay Tennis Club also made a special donation after hearing of the clubs efforts. Id also like to thank the Flowerdale Cricket Club and the Spring Valley Recreation Reserve committee of management who have both provided enormous support to our club, Ms Kamar said. Ms Kamar said the Flowerdale community has also provided financial and moral support, enabling the club to raise $65,000 towards the $240,000- plus project. Ms McLeish said the courts added to the opportunities provided by the Spring Valley Recreation Reserve. What a fabulous facility this is now becoming, Ms McLeish said. Flowerdale has always been a strong community and even more so since the fires. The Victorian Government is committed to continuing to support fire affected communities such as Flowerdale. Thankyou to Samm our local photographer who took the pictures on the day & night
