How easy is winning?

It’s that time of year and, as the song says, ‘girls just want to have fun’. Pakenham race goers Pam Wouters and Angela Banbury were caught by the Gazette glammed up in the Melbourne Cup day action in the Flemington members’ reserve on the big day last week. The girls were out for a good time and headed out to the marquee area when they were snapped.It’s that time of year and, as the song says, ‘girls just want to have fun’.

LOCAL faces made appearances at the Returned and Services League (RSL) Victorian Remembrance Day ceremony at The Necropolis in Springvale last Sunday.
The Necropolis hosts the Australian War Cemetery and for the past 20 years has been home to the statewide service, which falls before Remembrance Day.
The Light Horse Field Artillery Museum from Nar Nar Goon and St Margaret’s School students from Berwick attended and took part.

Affectionately dubbed Harry Huntsman, it lives in a women’s toilet dispenser and occasionally makes an appearance to scare the handicaps off unsuspecting golfers.
Harry’s recent teeoff was on 20 October, when one of the members was replacing the toilet paper and out he jumped from the centre of the roll.
It gave the member such a fright that the roll ended up in the toilet bowl. According to reports, it was a happy outcome as the roll was fished out and hung out to dry.
Not so happy for the lady member though, as Harry no doubt contributed to a lapse in concentration and a wipeout on the next hole.
But there’s no truth in the rumour that Harry’s been appointed official handicapper at the club.
