“Every three months we have a pasta night at the Kyabram Bocce Club,” Kyabram Bocce Club treasurer Mr Greco said.
“Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas and will keep on doing that as long as we can.
“We have a lovely bunch of ladies who do home-cooked meals, Italian-style meals.”
The evening will feature an entrée, a choice of pasta mains, and dessert, all prepared fresh using seasonal vegetables.
“Everything is cooked fresh, using whatever vegetables are in season, and everything is home-cooked style,” Mr Greco said.
“We don't have a traditional Aussie Christmas meal, we have an Italian meal.”
A call was put into Mrs Lucy Portia, a long-time member of the Kyabram Bocce Club, for a hint of the Christmas pasta night menu.
Mrs Portia is one of the ‘lovely’ ladies who has been cooking dinner for the pasta nights for a while at the Bocce Club.
She was thinking this year's Christmas pasta night menu will feature antipasto and soup as the entrée, lasagna and spaghetti as the mains, and trifle for dessert.
Entertainment includes $100 in raffle prizes, plus additional prizes, with opportunities to socialise and play Raffa Bocce.
“Everyone comes along and enjoys themselves and if they want to have a game of Raffa Bocce, they can or we sit around and socialise,” Mr Greco said.
“And we tell a few funny jokes.
“Everyone is welcome to come along, as we are a multicultural community and everybody is invited.”
Mr Greco described the night as an ideal venue for staff breakups.
The club operates on Mondays and Fridays for cards, with Bocce played every Wednesday.
They have changed from Bocce to Raffa Bocce, another discipline of the game, as it is more accessible for the elderly and families to play.
Reservations must be made by Monday, December 1, by calling Kyabram Bocce Club treasurer Joe Greco on 0419 157 605.
