Richmond River 9-11 June 2007 Photos The Saturday afternoon drinks and nibbles were great even though the wind was chilly and made us all decide to retreat back to our boats for dinner rather than BBQ on the beach.

Always environmentally conscious, it was well fed by fine Mullumbimby firewood from the Miller's ranch. No doubt Keith and Edna are making good use of it now on their extended holiday to the west. We wish them a great and trouble-free trip All in all it was a fantastic weekend and special thanks to Keith and Edna Miller for instigating and organising the new venue for the Club Whittley.
