What a great turn-out for Phil's special day... we have such a wonderfully supportive club and I'm happy to say that I'm a member of our fraternity! Phil was thoroughly surprised, thinking he was coming for a chin-wag and a stroll with me... Nice to keep the kid on his toes. Also, to have Tim's talents present who captured some great shots of the festivities and our following amble on Goose Spit. We had such a wonderful turn-out that we consumed over half the seats in the cafe... There were also many members who sent wishes from afar and they were duly noted on the card that we presented to Phil. We had a fudge cake for Phil that was adorned with an 80's candle which of course he had to blow out after making his wish, whilst the gang all sang Happy Birthday... the cafe had a pub like atmosphere going at 10 am on a Friday morning. It was nice to see Rudy show up for the party... He's been on the mend and recovering nicely, after his fall, earlier this year, on Alone Mt. Actually, Phil's been recovering from a wee bit of surgery, too, so our walk on the Spit looked a bit motley... reminds me of the old football locker quip "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". Someone reminded me not only of the demographics of our club but the fitness of it and to expect more of these celebrations... I've kept the candles, just in case. Again, a much enjoyed event and another Hearty Happy Birthday wish to our young man who now enters his 9th decade, still doing the club proud!
