Christmas Function 2016
Joan Edwards hosted our Christmas Function at her home on the 3rd December 2016. It was a great and friendly gathering with free gifts from RICHGRO and our President who gave each person attending a red and white petunia in a pot.
Everyone brought a fabulous amount of food and the variety would do any smorgasbord justice. 
Congratulations to Pat Humphries and Aileen La Rosa for organising the event. Congratulations to all Table Competition Trophy winners and also those who were successful in the various class categories.


 Joan you are a legend; what a lovely home and a wonderful venue for all of us who attended.
Thank you to those who donated the gifts for the Women's Refuge at Fremantle. They were so thrilled to receive them.
​Thank you to Geoff Richards for providing everyone who attended with a gift from RICHGRO. Geoff sent his apologies for not being able to attend as he was in Melbourne that day. Click on photo to enlarge.
