This may not go ahead as the owner has had serious health problems earlier in the year and is confined to a wheel chair. I will ring the lady late September to see if her health has improved and she is able to do this boutique wine tasting and sales just in time for happy hour.

Ever wanted to kick that refrigerator to death? Or has it failed when you are in the remote areas? Terry will bring along a fridge to explain its workings, and show how to locate the problems, how you can to fix the problem.
He will help you if you have a problem with advice as to the likely cause, but Terry does not repair the fridges, but can give you the names and contact details of those who can help you.
3.30 pm – Grafton City Batteries and Solar
Wayne from Grafton City Batteries has been giving trade talks at the motorhome rally for many years. His expertise is in solar and batteries, an area of interest and mystery for many of us when travelling long time in our vehicles.
He will explain both areas for those of us who don’t know a lot, and then develop his talk to those who have a much better understanding of solar and batteries. He is quite happy to help you with your specific problems and helpful with his explanations of any questions you may wish to ask. Wayne is also able to supply your needs with solar and batteries plus accessories.

10.00 am – Personal wellbeing with Biorythms
Val Dickson has a lot of experience with life matters. She will discuss our biorhythms, the three natural cycles of life within us all which affect us and our reactions: physically, emotionally and intellectually. Have you ever thought you made a bad decision? Or that an accident was your fault? Or that you caught a cold by not caring for your health? Or perhaps you began an argument that you now regret.Biorhythms is a form of self-healing that you can learn and by understanding your biorhythms, and other healing methods, you could look forward to a more rewarding and balanced quality of life.
