If things continue, London in a few years.
Hope you do well in it MurrayMurray wrote: Thu Nov 21, 2024 6:53 am The Bendigo invitation Club is sending a team to a one loft race in Melbourne. It costs $1750.00 for a 5 bird team, and with that you get to send one bonus bird, so $292.00 each.
I've put my name down for one. If there's enough interest they will send two teams, so I might send another. See how cashed up I am.![]()

Nice to see, glad you had good timeMurray wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 9:25 am This being our first Christmas in St Arnaud, we are still making our way here. We have met some super people.
We saw that there was a Christmas parade in the main street at 7 pm tonight. So, we wandered down, and found what appeared to be the whole town plus most of the surrounding district lining the main street.![]()
The fire Brigade, emergency services, local clubs, farm equipment dealers, the small but vibrant Philipino community, there were all sorts.
There were kids from about 18 months old to almost teenagers wandering around on the street picking up the sweets that were being thrown, and there wasn't a policeman or Hi Vis jacket to be seen.
The adults, like us, were watching the little kids, and the vehicles were going about 1 mile per hour. It was a time warp back to when we were kids![]()
And there was not a rainbow flag, no BGQ...I cant remember, float, just a heap of people bringing their kids and clapping at the locals who do so much in the community.
Oh, it was good fun.

And here's a thought for the day.
