Social mainstay of this country town.
Bistro meals, raffles and the odd band.
Wednesday night 'Schnitzels'.
Upstairs is the Board- room
Amongst the orange vinyl spinning chairs are the relics.
The glass cases of old uniforms and military paraphernalia.
The walls are inhabited by past presidents in the photographic,
And clothing styles of their respective reigns;
Black and whites with suits and brill cream,
Gaudy colour with wide ties and flares.
In the little auditorium the annual events are hosted.
High school formals, dance concerts, Melbourne Cup luncheons,
And of course Anzac and Remembrance Day commemorations.
It is friendly and familiar,
And available.
Membership is reasonably priced,
And it makes you feel apart of something bigger than yourself.
But I still hate the 'Pokies'
