Recently the Residents of the Calvary Retirement Community enjoyed lunch at the Southern Cross Yacht Club. A wonderful lunch was served whilst we looked out over Lake Burley Griffin. After lunch we meandered along the lake foreshore enjoying the sunshine and feeding the ducks.

The Residents of the Village enjoy regular outings and have bus trips planned for the latter half of 2007 to a Winery, Music at Midday, Batemans Bay Cruise and the Tulip Farm.

Pialligo Estate Winery
One cold and freezing day in July 20 of us set out on the Village bus to the Pialligo Estate Winery. After only 20 minutes of travelling we were transported to another world, to a lovely boutique local winery and olive grove. We spent a delightful hour tasting the local wines and being entertained by the proprietors and then we sat down to a three course feast. A home cooked lunch was enjoyed by all, but the blustery wind did somehow escape from outside and entered in our marqui which did send some of us scurrying for the heater!
We had a wonderful time and intend going back in the spring to walk around the vineyard and along the banks of the Molongolo river.

Open Day
Calvary Haydon Village hosted it's first Open Day in March 2007 as part of the ACT Senior's Week.

Many of the residents were involved in serving morning tea and showing prospective residents around the site. While the village club house is yet to be completed morning tea was held under a large marquee in the Autumn sun as we enjoyed listening to the sounds of Jazz from the School of Music. It was a wonderful day with over 100 people visiting and viewing our lovely display apartment. We are looking forward to next year!
