Variety Concert

One Sunday afternoon, not too long ago, Alandale came alive with a magnificent Variety Concert, showcasing the talent of many residents and invited guests.

The Alandale Singers supported by a very talented violinist,  a couple of Rock n Roll Dancers and an Alandale Line Dancing Group delighted the many residents, family and friends that were in attendance.

A wonderful afternoon enjoyed by many.




 

Days for Girls

The Days for Girls sewing group were absolutely delighted to receive a cheque for $300 from the Frankton Rotary Club recently.  

This has enabled them to purchase material for making more hygiene kits.

With another two day sewing session for Days for Girls coming up, this was perfect timing and very much appreciated.






 

Quiz Team Success!!

The Hamilton Inter Village Quiz is held about every four months.  There are now six villages participating, each entering two teams of four people each.

There are four sections each containing ten questions.  Depending on the host village, these may have a particular slant.   The very first one had a UK slant and the one before last was mainly about New Zealand.

Recently the quiz was held at Tamahere and Alandale won the cup by a narrow margin. 

Well done team Alandale!!


 

8-80 Concert

Recently the Alandale Singers joined forces with Horsham Downs Primary School Choir to present a 8-80 Concert.

This marvellous concert of song voices, young and old, was enjoyed by the large crowed that attended.  




 

Alandale Celebrates 30 Years

 

Residents recently celebrated Alandale's 30th anniversary with a celebratory dinner which included special guests, speeches, cake, dinner and band.

Alandale wouldn't be what it is today without the vision of David Braithwaite.   David spoke to the residents and guests about that vision and the early days of Alandale.   

As one of Alandale's original residents, Paddy shared some fond memories and stories of her time here at Alandale.  While Marie, another original resident, cut the birthday cake with Board member, Bronwyn Smits.

Happy Birthday Alandale!
