Y Striders

Margaret River Episode 3 – Y Striders are an adventurous lot
Saturday is Day 2 with lots of activities to choose from. There was paddling with a Bushtucker and Canoe Tour on the Margaret River. Helen the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and her gourmet bushtucker lunch was amazing.
Another group of twelve went quad biking and on their return, entertained us with many of their mishap stories.
A Koffee Safari at Yahava attracted the coffee connoisseurs, (or was it the cake?), where they even roasted their own coffee beans. This was followed by lunch at the Margaret River Brewhouse. Most thought to save room for our Saturday dinner at the Margaret River District Club. A great meal and lovely venue for our large group. It gave president Jennie an opportunity, with all gathered together, to thank everyone for coming and particularly the organisers - Kevin, Pam, Bill and Ken for selecting and checking the walks, Tracy, Elizabeth, Jenny and Deb for catering and social communications and organising and Christine our treasurer. It should have been an early night in preparation for the Sunday walk but some were wanting to kick on ;-)

Thank you Macca and the Melville Council
Y Striders aren’t the only club using the Troy Park clubrooms and grounds – although the various clubs use different times and days. Councillor Michael (Macca) McGoldrick is also secretary of the Troy Park Association and on Saturday he organised a coffee and muffin morning at Troy Park for the clubs using the oval and clubrooms.
Mayor Katy Mair and Councillor Glynis Barber both gave updates on plans for the area and chatted to various members.
The weather was fine and although many of the junior sporting teams were busy playing away games, the groups that attended welcomed the opportunity to mix and meet others who enjoy our foreshore location for their club activities.

Rain, Hail or Shine
Or should that be Thunder, Lightning and Rain? Because that’s what Y Striders faced on Wednesday morning for strength class.
But never to be deterred, 22 members came to the 6am class and 18 to the 7.45 class. A few carrying injuries walked but Deb our trainer soon had everyone moving under the verandah with exercises to strengthen and warm us so we were ready for the after-class coffee and chat.
Everyone knows that regular exercise is important. But did you know that socializing is equally important? Y Striders is the place for both, so why not join our friendly fitness club for running, walking and strength? Try our 4 week free trial. Go to; http://ystriders.org.au/membership/4-week-free-trial/
