 Never heard of it?  Well, you are in for a treat!

Gary, along with a number of his Masters Swimmer friends, has been supporting the Candu Swim Club for many years by preparing an assortment of wonderful pasta dishes and salads that the swimmers (12+years) serve to the public.  The Candu executive, coaches and parents organize the event; donate homemade bread/buns/dessert; and of course attend if possible.  Tickets are sold to the community.  The event has been well attended in the past - it is a fun evening out!
