22.01.2022 Hi everybody. Visited the Albury Lapidary Club today and caught up with Dave and Joan Barrows who we met at Agate Creek and the Australian Gemboree at Rocky this year. Joan is the co-ordinator for the next Australian Gemboree which is being held in Albury at Easter 2020. A lovely city to visit. (Check out Gemboree 2020 on the web). It was lovely to meet fellow rock hounds and thank you for the cuppa. You have a great club house which my mob would be envious of and Ill take home some ideas for them!! Please feel welcome to visit us in Mackay anytime. Jen
