The funds were raised at the Clubs Annual Charity Show and Shine hosted at Rick and Carol Forbes Residence.

November RCC
The November Riviera Coffee Cruise was held at Roger and Teresa Frairs home in Newlands Arm. 40 Plus members enjoyed morning coffee in their beautiful and shady gardens. The fantastic weather brought out a number of members we had not seen for a while and it was good to see the Hammonds back with their rare 1974 Leyland P76. Good also to see most of the Club convertibles travelling top down. Members enjoyed a lavish spread of coffee cakes and biscuits provided by the Club. Thanks to Roger and Teresa for hosting the event and to all who assisted on the day.
