Eldorado Senior Citizens Club welcomed some special visitors on Thursday afternoon.

Members were able to showcase their new indoor carpet bowls mat, which was purchased with the use of a $3000 Rural City of Wangaratta community grant, to Mayor Irene Grant, Deputy Mayor Harvey Benton, and Cr Tania Maxwell.

The Rural City of Wangaratta representatives received some pointers on carpet bowls from members during a social game, which was followed by afternoon tea.

Sue Hall from the Eldorado and District Star committee also attended the celebration, while supporters of the grant application unable to attend included Tim McCurdy (MLA, Ovens Valley), Eldorado Museum committee members, and Rural City of Wangaratta councillors Allison Winters and Dave Fuller.
