MEMBERS ONLY SOCIAL NIGHT. Mystery Bus Tour: Thursday April 22.

Forty four members boarded the bus not knowing where they were going to spend the next three hours or what they would be doing. The noise on the bus indicated they were out to have a lively night, away from the kids, work and commitments.

Those who had visited Billabong Ranch guessed where we were heading once we were out past Echuca Village. Those of us who had not been there learnt a lot more about the business when Kerrie Aquisto gave us a tour and explained the range of activities and facilitates they offer. It is impressive to see what they have achieved in the eight years and hard to believe they started their business from a bare paddock and lots of ideas.

They are open to the public on weekends plus cater for conferences, children’s camps, weddings, and groups with the varied activities and animal nursery available. They also conduct Vocational Educational Training in equine studies.

Some settled for food, drinks and networking, but most of us also took the opportunity to show our talent (or lack of talent) at mini golf, archery or rock climbing. You might be able to recognise some members in the photos. Although you would have to know the back view of a member fairly well to be able to name the rock climbers.

Thanks Kerrie and Richard for a great night and thanks to all the members who made the night such a success.
