MANSFIELD RETIRED OFFICERS ADVENTURE Monday 20th to Wednesday 22nd February
Twenty two retired officers/partners descended on the Mansfield Alzburg
Resort for three days of merriment and thrill seeking. The resort has
undergone a substantial facelift since the ANZ "Mansfield Madness" days and
is now a "four star" facility with terrific spa/pool and tennis court
facilities.
Ten participants played 18 holes of golf on the Wednesday in glorious
weather on the Mansfield Golf Course which must be one of the most improved
golf courses in Victoria. Lush fairways and greens due to ample recycled
water facilities added to the enjoyment of the game. Dal Crocker won the
men's event with Neville Pearson and John Inglis tying for second.
Pam Hocking won the ladies event with Irene Bettonvil second and Cheryl
Pearson and Lesley Cook a close third and fourth respectively.
After a scrumptious dinner in the resort restaurant followed by a hotly
contested trivia competition an evening of great fun was had by all
Several of the participants returned to Melbourne via Marysville and had
lunch at the Marysville bakery followed by an hour's stroll through "Bruno's
Sculpture Garden" which is a must see for anyone contemplating a trip to
Marysville. Great value at $5 entry.
The transformation of the town since our trip last year has been truly
amazing.

substantial Gardens and the Mansfield experience
This adventure offers so much for anyone contemplating going next year,
whether you are a golfer or just wanting to enjoy a few days relaxing
poolside, or sightseeing around the district snow resorts etc. The weather
at this time of the year is very consistent with cold and rain a rarity on
our trips to date and many of us took advantage with swims in the resort
pool
Thanks to Kevin Mitchell and John Brown for all your time and effort in
organising the trip that went like clockwork. Hope to see some newcomers
next year and I am sure you will not be disappointed
