The recent Davis Cup event at Kooyong saw us cancel our usual Tuesday meeting and have an informal BBQ lunch on the subsequent Friday-the 4th March.   This was coupled with the car parking activity.  Organised by Noel Halford and Ken MacNamara, and professionally served with sausages and rolls  by cook Sherdian Brown (and David Bradshaw) about 20 braved the heat to attend.   It was in the high 30's!
 
 A marque had been erected (the time taken remains a secret) and provided ample shade for those attending.   There it is above after taxing all the engineering skill of those who got it to stay up.
 
 Salads and cool drinks were abundant.  There was no speaker but President Lawrence did his best to maintain some element of a meeting flavour with a brief thanks to the workers.  
 
 
The photo above correctly records that those there found it a pleasant and enjoyable change from the usual meeting.
