Dear Members & Friends of the Dutch Club-Neerlandia/Sydney
 
Well, well, well   we are finally opening for the new year, about time!
It has been a long break including the week we had off before Christmas due to lock down at the time.
 
It will be great to have you all back this Sunday.  We have not planned anything special but I believe Karel will be serving “Oliebollen” for the faithfull members and also to
celebrate Australia Day for the occasion as we missed out the Sunday before Christmas.
The usual appel flappen will be there as well as the haring, croquettes etc.
 
We had our first Probus meeting on Monday, the first of the year, with special guest Michael Regan the Mayor of the Northern Beaches Council in which he
covered a lot of Covid information.
 Birthdays over the next weekend:
Mr Tim Planten who missed out last week.
Mrs Janette Brandt
Mr Theo Kennis
Mr Gerrit Visser
And if there is anyone I may have missed such as Mr Tim Planten, please let me know.
We wish you all a very Happy Birthday, enjoy.
Currently as it stands when you come into the Club to do your shopping a face mask is required but when you come for a meal or drink it is discretionary.  You are all stillrequired to use the QR code or if unable please sign in and have your temperaturetaken.
How many of you have encountered this;
A man asked his wife what she’d like for her birthday. “I’d love to be a six again,”
She replied.  On the morning of her Birthday, he got her up bright and early, and off they went to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park:
the death slide, the screaming loop, the wall of fear, all of them!
Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach
Upside down. Right to a McDonald’s they went, where her husband ordered a
Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, the latestStar Wars epic, with popcorn, soft drinks and chocolates. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed. He leaned over
And lovingly asked, “Well, dear what was it like being six again?”
One eye opened. “You idiot, I meant my dress size.”
The moral of the story: even when a man is listening, he’s still going to get it wrong.
Please be COVID safe.
Groetjes van Gerry
