President Janet wasn’t available to chair our meeting this week so the club had to put up with me again.
Apologies were received from President Janet, David Brown, Ian Sharman and Santa.
Our guests included Phillip Ross, Elissa & Arielle Ross, Jenny Trenery and Kerry Nelson.
Member’s announcements included:
• Judy: asked that anyone who used our “gear” put it back where it belongs.
• Anne: asked for volunteers to move books and set up tables before the book sale January 26-28.
Unfortunately Santa was an apology for the evening and the best we could do was to get me as a poor substitute. Fortunately Kelly stepped in as an “elf” and under her guidance things worked out well. It got a bit hectic trying to get the gifts distributed so “elf” Alan stepped in to help.
The evening was a lot of fun and finished pretty well on time. As usual several of us stayed on for some time enjoying fellowship in the bar (for a long time!).
A big thank you to Kelly who organised the Kris Kringle, me and the follow up fun activity.
Well that’s 2023 almost over. Janet and I hope it was a good year and that 2024 is even better.
ps. We need help to move the books from storage and set up the tables at the Warrnambool Club.
The dates/times for the “working bees” are 10:00am Saturday 6 and Friday 12 January.
Additional Dates/times will be advised if necessary. Please let Anne when you can help.
Tony Austin
Vice President
