Report from Megan:

More pictures to add to Gwen's post below, showing the effects of 20mm of rain on the Eildon lawns.

We had an early morning tea waiting for the rain to stop. Four people played in the pouring rain. Eildon won the day. The trophy has been swapped during the year.

In the multi-code challenge with Bribie so far, Eildon won AC, Bribie won Golf, and Eildon won Ricochet. Gateball is still to go.

There were lots of yummy cakes, slices and sandwiches. We played one more game after the rain stopped, under blue sky.
