Melbourne Cup Day

On Tuesday the rain came down, but it did not matter, because we were inside the VDC Clubrooms with friends, champagne and, well yes, yummy food!

Some arrived in style, resplendent in fancy outfits, hats and fascinators!

The tables were  decorated with flowers, pictures of horses and the  Cup.

Kate provided prawns, delicious sandwiches, party pies, sausage rolls and pasties and an array of decadent cakes and chocolates and off course champagne ,wine and soft drink, tea and coffee.  

 Brian and Irene conducted  a fantom Cup call and sweep and then a sweep for the Melbourne Cup which we all watched on the TV.

So even if the weather was grey, the mood inside was all color and lots of fun! It was lovely to catch up with friends and especially to see Victor again.

Thank you Kate for the work you put in to  organise this event.
