ANSWER: Congratulations to Robert Gavan, the only person to guess that our mystery bride is Una Mingay. And the year of Colin and Una's wedding was 1943 - yes it is coming up to 75 years in 2018!

My name is Ilsa Bird and I am the project manager for a local Intergenerational Project. I would like to invite your members to be part of our new program.
As older people in our community are required to isolate, to keep them connected to the community we have developed a Postcard Pen Pal program. This program links children and young people under 18 with older people over 65 in the community by sending postcards to each other.
Days before the NSW lock-down got serious, Vice-President Rob Scott left for the last leg of the Australian Alps Walking Track in the Snowy Mountains with 7 other bushwalking mates. Staying in a cabin outside of Jindabyne they set-off early on March 23rd, starting at Charlotte Pass.
The alpine track is above the snow line and at 1,837m it was only 4 degrees at the start. Dropping steeply down to the headwaters of the Snowy River (wet feet), after 18kms the group climbed Mt Kosciusko, attaining the top of Australia at 2,228m. After lunch at the 'top', just another 8kms to Dead Horse Gap where the cars were waiting. With over 1,000m of descents and 800m of ascents for the day, the beer back at the cabin was very much appreciated.
