On Saturday the 14th March , Shoalhaven Heads Sports and Social Fishing Club held their first get together of the year. We usually have four of these a year and if you didn’t attend you are about to discover what you missed out on.

Dinner was catered for by the club’s new “Long Board Bistro” and consisted of all the prawns  and chicken you could comfortably eat and heaps of beautiful salad. I never heard one complaint on the day and why would you at $10 a head. All you have to do is join and you to can enjoy.

If this wasn’t enough, we were entertained by the lovely Jody Yates. Not only does she have a wonderful voice, she is a fantastic performer and can sing anything from Vera Lynn to Becki Cole and everything in between. Beside all that she is extremely good eye candy for both young and old. If you get the chance and haven’t seen Jody perform DO NOT miss her.  The entertainment didn’t finish with Jody. We were treated to an impromptu performance by the great Stompin’ Stevie (the big bopper) Woodland. We saw a wonderful duet with the legendary rocker and Jody.The wonderful Jody Yates

Then there was the fleet  footed talents of Kay and Paul Bounds as they twisted and spun their way to a win in the inaugural running of  “The Shoalhaven Jive Tournament”. Believe me, it was tough as they competed with some of the best couples in the country. They overcame the talents of………no one. However everyone enjoyed.

What about 95 year old Glady B. She hit the floor and amazed with her versatility on the dance floor with Tom Ahling and they were sensational.

The evening would have been a total failure if it hadn’t been for our great barman Johnno. His wonderful skill and his completely pleasant attitude added to an enjoyable evening. On behalf of everyone, Johnno, thanks for your commitment.

Col Hokin also presented Lee who , Col told me was his computer date. He met on on his computer dating service, however the lovely Lee must have a sight problem or she is a great fan of the play “Beauty and The Beast”
