Tonight's meeting was attended by 12 members and it was a bit different to our normal meetings.

MONTE CRISTO HOMESTEAD

First Ann took us to France with her and we had to watch and listen as she tried on a much needed piece of underwear that she had to shop for because she had forgotten to pack any. V E R Y Interesting. glad you finally got fitted out Ann....
Then  12 very  brave souls  were taken on a night to remember
by Mrs Olive Ryan.  (aka.  ME, Judi)
They were taken to to "Monte Cristo" Australia's most haunted house.
It was cold , foggy and dark, the perfect night for a ghost story...Wooooooooo
We had dinner together round the big dinner table at the homestead (pic above) ..
Olive then told them a little bit of the history of Monte Cristo and its deep and dark past.
 She then let everyone know what rooms they would be staying in (some pics above)  and a little about what they could expect to hear and or see during their night at "MONTE CRISTO" Wooooooooooo.

After this experience  we were glad to realise that we were actually still at Ourimbah RSL and that our cars were just outside. I know I was glad.........

 I have  a computer problem at the moment so  I am unable to give you Photos of the night. 
My computer has gone to hospital where Dr Tom is operating on her.
