Working Bee At The Cassilis Recreation Reserve

It was a beautiful day to be out in the wider world and the atmosphere and ambiance of the Cassilis recreation reserve and cemetery yesterday.

The president invited people to enjoy the day there with us. Rickey did just that, even though his house is being built and he assists with that. The committee members who were there: Christine, Marie-Louise, Howard and Charlie much appreciated his help, and were sorry he was unable to stay for the sausage sizzle.

There would have been one other to join us, but unfortunately on the way home from a trip his car broke down and he had to stay on the other side of the mountain to have it repaired.

The inside of the men's and women's toilet received it's first coat of paint from Marie-Louise and Christine.

Another memorial tree was planted by Howard. A King Cole apple to complement the small stand of apple trees already growing in that area, which have all been sponsored by people who are friends of the Cassilis Recreation reserve.

The sausages, asparagus etc., were cooked superbly and to perfection as always, by Howard, whose locally renown cooking skills are always in demand for such occasions. A huge success, getting some work done and lunching in the open air, in sun supplied warmth.

It was sad that not everyone was able to attend and enjoy it with us.

Some Notes On The King Cole Apple Variety


From: http://www.loriendale.com.au/midlate_seson_apples.htm

King Cole This dual purpose apple is medium-size and with a bright red flush. It is firm, juicy, subacid and a fair keeper. It was raised in Lang Lang Victoria by R.G. Cole and is a cross between the Jonathan and Dutch Mignonne apples. In earlier times, this apple was extensively exported. It is good to eat and very good cooking apple.

As well, the Cassilis Cemetery Trust and Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee of Management were the grateful and pleased recipients of three donated fruit trees by:
Neville and Elaine Medhurst
Orchardists
Who have been kind supporters and friends of the the Cemetery Trust and Management Committee by way of substantial discounts for trees in the past.

Both the Cassilis Cemetery Trust and Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee of Management members, thank them on behalf of the community.
