First Regional Meeting in Ballarat makes headlines!
The innaugural CGSV Ballarat members meeting on Saturday the 7th of June was a great success with several members from Melbourne making the trek out to Ballarat by train. The Turret Cafe was very accomodating, providing space and Kristine and Peter from Ballarat members thoughtfully arranged for a journalist to interview some of us for an article in a local newspaper. Around 13 people played at the event ranging from beginner youngsters to seasoned players. Lots lattes and fun was had by all. Special mention to all those who made the effort to come from Melbourne and Bendigo. See you at the next meeting on the first Saturday of next month at La Statzione Cafe at Flinders Station (enter on Flinders St between the two main entrances to the station).
