Happy New Year to all.
Today we met for the first time at Mocha Bella Cafe. We received a warm welcome from Sue and were delighted to see that Robyn was also on hand to look after us in the manner we are accustomed.
It was great to see 15 of us back already, some lucky people are still on holidays.
Speakers today Jeff and Richard.
Jeff told us about his new hobby- sports betting. A complicated past time which he is enjoying immensely. It certainly sounds complicated. As it is a hobby winnings are tax free. As a hobby there is only little start up capital and Jeff has found a method that is 97% successful.
Kenny Rogers has good advice on gambling "Know when to hold em, know when to fold em." Good luck Jeff. (We are a diverse group)
Richard told of his visit to Audrey's bush block Kangawalla, situated on the Mann River in NSW and his excitement at the floods in NSW that extended his holiday.
On the legal front he warned about wills and the effect of a change in your circumstances and how things may happen contrary to what you would want if you met an untimely demise.
Leads today 26 - well done.
