GEORGE CLOONEY STOOD UP
Who is the lady member of MUDTA who had intended
to gate-crash George Clooney’s wedding when she was in
Venice? She had hoped to speak up when the Celebrant
asked for any reason why George should not be married
to Amal Alamuddin citing her own wish to
marry him.
Unfortunately, her travelling partner injured an ankle and ended up on crutches
and they had to cancel the trip.
As another well-respected lady member of
MUDTA was heard to say “I bet George was really disappointed about that”!
Here’s a clue—Her initials are PMc

the South Coast Representative Team. The team consisted of 4 girls
from Wollongong, 1 from Eden, 1 from Narooma as well as our 3

Seeded No. 1, as they won the event last year at Bathurst, they finished first in their pool defeating Sydney West 8/4, Sydney East 12/0,
Sydney North 10/2 and Western NSW 12/0.
The next round against Sydney South West was a very close encounter with South Coast losing their first match 7/5. They then played
Hunter Region to win 7/5 giving them 3rd position overall from a
draw of 10 State regions.
Div 2 Finalists (l-r) Aaron Verhoeven, Patrick Armstrong, Dale Ramsden, Emily Dippel,
