Social Activities

Social activities are an integral part of club life, whether they are organised to celebrate some special event or simply to extend the shared experiences gained through walking and camping.

Wine and cheese evenings are held the fourth Wednesday of each month in the clubroom from 7pm to 9pm.

Special events are organised from time to time and are advertised in the newsletter and on this page.

Wine Tasting Evening

Wednesday, 27 August, 7:30pm, in the clubroom.  This is a chance to select some reds and some whites for the Bushies very own wine label.  Alas, spittoons will not be provided, but we will have cheese on hand to clear the furry bits on your teeth.  Our choice of wines will be on sale at our social night on 17 September.

Lecture on the Southern Sky

Wednesday, 3 September, 8:00pm, in the clubroom.  Dr Keith Thompson is a professor of physics, formerly of Manchester and Monash universities.  He will discuss Venus both in the evening and morning skies, viewing the stars with binoculars, and recognising constellations.  All of which should make us knowledgeable campers.  No need to book, but please arrive promptly.  (Keith is also a member of the Victorian Welsh Choir, so is multi-talented.)

Please contact Susan Maughan, Social Secretary, should you want to contribute to her “lecture series”.

Slide Show and Talk - Paradise Lost

Wednesday, 17 September, 8:00pm, in the clubroom, presented by Linda and Michael Buck.

Stretching like a string of pearls in a beautiful blue sea, Flinders Island is the largest of the 52 granite islands situated in the eastern Bass strain between Tasmania and mainland Victoria Flinders Island is a largely undiscovered paradise for bush walkers, bird watchers and historians.

This presentation will introduce you to the beauty of the island and it’s unique walks from the heights of Mt Strezelecki to rock hopping over red granite boulders to find your own Killiecrankie ‘diamonds’.

Launch of MBW's Own Wine

Wednesday, 24 September, in the clubroom. 

Launch and sale of our "MBW label" wines as selected on 27 August.
