Although not all who had recent birthdays could attend, the celebrations were a fantastic chance to gather for a catch-up with other locals.
Phyl Brown couldn’t make it, but her 97th birthday was recognised.
Also featuring was Betty Nolan, who with the help of the Golden Oldies celebrated her 93rd birthday.
The third and final birthday to be celebrated was Judith Robinson who, along with the other two members, were made to feel special for their special day.

Steal steel
While crime as a whole has been less prevalent in recent times, there are people in town who aren’t happy with some things in that space.
An ongoing issue for locals seems to be the removal of scrap materials from the Hardinge St oval scrap metal pile.
Locals have taken to social media, sharing video of people taking scrap material from the pile, in the hope of catching the perpetrators.
Mullets for mental health
The Black Dog Institute is calling on Aussies everywhere to show they’re all ears by growing a mullet to support the one in five Australians who experience a mental illness each year.
For those rocking a mullet or thinking of embracing one, April is the perfect time to let those luscious locks flow.
Every dollar raised helps Black Dog Institute deliver groundbreaking new mental health treatments, education and digital services to those who need them most.
Sadly, suicide remains the leading cause of death among Australian men aged 15-44, with rates even higher for those living in regional and remote areas.
