Afternoon Out

The Victoria League celebrated Victoria League Day (May 24) this year by entertaining citizens of the district over the age of 65 and who have lived in the area for more than 40 years. And if you think there wouldn't be many there, the club had 124 guests to cater for. Entertainment and a singalong aroused appetites for the delicious afternoon tea, which was served by club members.
