The next Monthly Meeting for the Ladies is Saturday 3rd September 2016 at 9.30am. Minutes will be distributed prior to the meeting for those who don't have email. It would be appreciated if members
would be present at the meeting. This will be the last meeting prior to the AGM.

Novice Champion 2015-16
Congratulations to new member Cris Andrews for winning the Novice and to Mel Wescott as Runner Up.
Pennants
Pennants is over for another year for the Ladies. Unfortunately, due to being placed in a higher Division,
we were not as successful as last year. Nontheless congratulations to all the Ladies who participated and
made it an enjoyable competition this year. Better luck next year.
Baffling Facts
Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their
prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?
Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our
useless junk in the garage?
EVER WONDER...
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors and lawyers call what they do 'practice'? …….
….and yet we pay them astronomical fees for practicing !
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavouring, and dishwashing liquid made
with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic
called rush hour?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
You know that indestructible “Black Box” that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that
stuff ?? … and why is it actually Orange—not Black?
A few more things to think about !
A paraprosdokian sentence consists of two parts where the first is a figure of speech and the
second an intriguing variation of the first.
They're used typically for humorous or dramatic effect.
- Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
- Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes
you a car.
- The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
- If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
- We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
- The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
- How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand at
the edge of a pool and throw fish.
- I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
Women will never be equal to men till they can walk down the street with a bald head
and a beer gut and still think they're sexy.
- A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
- You don't need a parachute to skydive, but you do need one to skydive again.
- The voices in my head may be fake, but they have good ideas!
- Hospitality is making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.
- I scream the same way whether I'm about to be eaten by a shark or seaweed touches my
foot.
- Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.
