WITH ASCCA AT ROYAL EASTER SHOW

Our club was invited by Nan Bosler, President of ASCCA  to provide volunteers for the Seniors Hub at the Royal Easter Show, to talk about ASCCA and let seniors know where they can find a seniors computer club. Nan said most would probably ask about the photo competition Telstra was running as part of the Seniors Hub.

Jon Bayley and I volunteered to help out on Seniors Day on Wednesday. ASCCA's Development Officer Mark Young was at 
the Seniors Hub to tell seniors about ASCCA's activities and Telstra's photo competitions. and Jon and I joined him.

We spent most of the day helping Mark tell seniors about how to find computer clubs and how to enter Telstra's "The Show through my eyes"  photo competition - we also entered the competition, but didn't win a prize - a telstra mobile phone and $50 gift card voucher.......

......but Julie, a Parramatta Computer Pals member, and a seven years worker at the Show, did win the days first Daily Prize of a mobile phone and voucher! Congratulations Julie!

Our booth was visited by many seniors, country and Sydney based, and we told them about the computer club in their area. Jon and I also met up with seniors from the Parramatta area, so hopefully our club will get some more new members.

I spent my lunchtime break to wandering around the Show. My granddaughter Sammy had texted me to get a My Girlfriend showbag, so off I went to the very crowded showbag area. My lunch was two very tasty cheese toasts and chocolate milk.

I later found the District Exhibits where my favourite was the Western District produce tapestry.

Our volunteering day at The Show was soon over, Jon and I helped Mark pack up the ASCCA display, and then we battled the crowds to get to the train station for our trip out west, where the three of us happen to live.
