The annual picnic is the BIGGEST day on our club calendar!  Much organisation goes into this fabulous day.  The highlight is the Schwingen (Swiss wrestling) with adults and children participating (last year we had 32 taking part) with many other “Swiss” activities also enjoyed by attendees.  Barbequed cervelas / bratwurst are sold, beverages and ice creams too!  A fabulous Swiss tombola (raffle) is also organised with many great prizes.  There are many free activities for the children – pony rides, face painting, bottle fishing and then there is also our small playground.  The shot put trophies are up for grabs too!  We have plenty of shade available by way of gazebos.  And it wouldn’t be the picnic without love Swiss music … we’re so very lucky to have such a talented bunch of musicians!!  We had a terrific crowd last year, so hope to have even more this year!!  Do come along and enjoy this great social day.
