Men's Social Group
☕ St Rita's Men's Social Group – February Outing ☕
What a great morning it was! Our Men's Social Group gathered on Thursday 26th February for a wonderful outing, starting with a visit to the café at the boat ramp at Dohles Rock Road – a great spot for a catch-up over coffee!
From there, the group headed over to explore the newly-opened museum showcasing a fascinating collection of farm machinery and implements. A terrific way to spend a Thursday morning in good company!
A big thank you to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable event. 🚜
👀 Watch this space for upcoming outings – there's more great adventures on the horizon for the group!
