Dear Members & Friends of the Dutch Club-Neerlandia - Sydney This Sunday we say welcome to the Klaverjas Players, their first tournament since the Covid-19 lockdown. We are expecting about 32 players, starting at 12 noon. It was great to have Reimer the Accordion man back at the Club last Sunday,
Thank you Reimer. We had another very busy afternoon.
The "Uitsmijter" went over very well last Sunday, thank you Karel. No special lunch arranged for this Sunday but we will have our Forest favourites including Appelflappen, Herrings, Croquettes and "SMOKED EEL" yes broodjes/rolls with smoked eel/paling. Whole fresh smoked eel available from the Shop & Kitchen
For only $30.00 for a whole fresh Smoked Eel/Paling. We had some trouble getting them across the border with flight problems
Please remember that lunch is served from 11.30am to 2.30pm. Our Membership draw of $70.00 was taken up by Mr John Paes, congratulations John.
So for this Sunday we are starting of with $10.00, usually drawn at 1.00pm. Just a few reminders; Membership renewals are currently due. And re: Covid-19

Klaas Woldring and anyone else I may have missed, please let me know
We wish you all a very Happy Birthday. Currently we all feel caged up at the moment so here goes:
A circus owner runs an advert for a 'lion tamer wanted' and two people showed up...
One Paddy, in his late -sixties and the other is a drop dead gorgeous brunette with a killer body in her mid-twenties. The circus owner tells them, I'm not going to sugar coat it. "This is one ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer so you two had better be good
Or you are history." Here is your equipment---- a chair, a whip and a gun...
Who wants to try out first?? The gorgeous brunette says, "I'll go first"
She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and steps right into the cage.
The lion starts to snarl and pant and begins to charge her. As he gets close, the gorgeous brunette throws open her coat revealing her beautiful, near perfect body. The lion stops
Dead in his tracks and sheepishly crawls up to her and starts licking her feet and ankles.
He continues to lick and kiss every inch of her body for several minutes, then lays down
And rests his head at her feet.
The circus owner's jaw hits the floor! He says "That's amazing! I've never seen anything like that in my life!" He then turns towards Paddy and asks, "Can you top that?"
Paddy replies, "Possibly....but you've got to get that lion out of there first." Keep well, keep safe & take care.
