Social Events
Fishing Trip
Once a year, the club uses the disguise of a ‘Fishing Trip’
to head up the Chowilla Creek and hold a drinking event. In
2008 we even caught some fish (5). The most fish went to
Scott (3), but the biggest fish went to Pete.
Ten Pin Bowling
Since the arrival of a Ten Pin Bowling centre in the
Riverland, members have told stories of how many strikes and
spares they have scored. I suspect we have not heard the
full truth about the number of gutters bowled, so each year,
we sort out the men from the boys. Unfortunately, the
bowling alley is not a licensed venue, so a few trips out to
the car park might occur.
Ski Night
Using Scott Petersens ski boat, this event is always a
popular way to finish a hot summers day. Held at the Renmark
Ski Site where the water is always calm and there is a nice
sandbar to swim from, it is the ideal spot to see the sunset
over the river. The club pays for the meat, and members
bring a salad and drinks.
Firewood
Most social events provide Kane (Morty) a good opportunity
to go to sleep early, and this one is no exception.
Generally held on Chowilla Station, north of Renmark, the
purpose of this event is to collect firewood for the P.S.
Industry.
Shanure
This event is held annually to collect sheep manure (Shanure)
from local shearing sheds and sold to local residents for
their gardens. This is generally a fairly labour intensive
exercise, so a BBQ and plenty of beers are required at the
end of the first day to refresh members for the second day.
