Villages to hold annual picnic
Residents from a Woy Woy retirement village will meet with residents of two other retirement villages for an annual picnic following the success of an event last month at Gosford waterfront.
"When it was suggested that Alloura Waters, Broadwater Court and Deepwater Court residents and clients get together for a picnic, little did we realise that it was starting a tradition that looks set to become an annual event," said Living Choice Central Coast sales consultant Ms Pam Gilbert.
"Held at the Gosford waterfront on a picture perfect summer's day, the inaugural picnic was an outstanding success.
"Sausages, rissoles and onions were kept sizzling on the barbecue, while the residents kept cool sipping Yalumba wines under a big marquee where there was plenty of shade and a gentle sea breeze to keep them comfortable.
"Residents also brought their own supplies of prawns, sandwiches, chicken salad and cheese platters.
"Speedy Rhodes, a great one-man band, sang some well-loved golden oldies that got the dance-lovers toe-tapping.
"Birthday girl Faye Bartlett of Deepwater Court won the prize for best-decorated picnic table."
