AMES Balga is now on youtube! Go to www.youtube .com and put AMES Balga in the search box. There are four short clips of the drumming workshop held in Herb Graham. They’re very amateurish – it was a first attempt. For those of you who missed the amazing wildlife clip of lions, buffalo and crocodiles on youtube, put “Kruger” into the search box.

Footy Tipping. The business end of the season is approaching and the overall situation is very tense. Branka and Mary Aitken are neck and neck on 97 points with Andrew on 96. This week’s winner is Shahin who spent many hours studying the form guide, finding out the injury situation and so on before choosing the home teams! All the “experts” were left in her wake. As one sporting pursuit draws to a close, so another takes hold- several teachers have returned to their youth and taken hula hoops out of their lofts. It will be interesting to watch their demonstration under the gum trees- no comments about hips and balancing will be permitted.

Next Wednesday we have a photographer organised by the College visiting us at coffee break. We hope the weather will be fine so that they can get some shots of the gardeners in action.
