UCAF Mystery Bus Trip - September




23 members participated in our Mystery Bus Trip late last month. As they boarded the bus, speculation was high as to where our destination was.  We headed towards Beechworth and many people expected us to stop at the Stanley cafĂ©, but this was not to be as we turned south from Beechworth and made our way down the Buckland Gap. Perhaps we were going to the Murmungee hall, but then we joined the Great Alpine Road and our driver, David James, led us to Myrtleford and the Rein of Pearls Gift and Coffee shop.

This wonderful venue was an eye-opener to all and the food was delicious – soup, toasted sandwiches or Shepherd’s Pie, followed by tea and coffee, scones & jam and cream and a beautiful assortment of cakes and slices.

After lunch members wandered around the gift shop. Most bought something from the wide variety of well-priced gifts on display. We can recommend this venue to anyone.  A big thank you to David, our driver who took over from Jeff at the last moment. I know he enjoyed the day too.


Our next meeting will be a craft afternoon at the home of Eileen Dinning, 2 Blake Street, Wangaratta on Tuesday 22nd.  October at 1.30pm. All are welcome to attend.
