President's Report.
 
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.  Welcome to 2026. 
 
A huge thanks to those that helped at the Woodford cup on new years eve and particularly those that turned up on Friday 2nd to do the final sorting. We raised $800 for our efforts. 
 
From our Youth Director we have the following. Please get back to Greg if you have a brilliant idea.
 
1. Maria’s farewell party. This is on Friday at Bono’s house beginning at 7.00. BYO drinks and $10 for food. Reply on the Stack App. Bring a salad or dessert to share if you are coming.
 
2. Getting Maria to the airport. Maria’s plane leaves Melbourne on Monday morning, the 12th, at the inconvenient time of 7.00am which means she has to be at the airport at the even, more inconvenient time of 4.00am. Any suggestions other than leaving here at 11.30pm on the 11th? Please get back to me on 0400664457 if you have a better idea. 
 
Cheers Greg.
 
So please reply on the Stack App if you are coming to Maria's farewell. 
Also we currently only have 9 going to bocce on Wednesday. Please reply as we are catering for the numbers we have in the Stack App for both Maria's farewell and the bocce. Let me know if you are coming and are having trouble with the Stack App.
 
See you all on Wednesday at the bocce.
 
President Bono

Woodford Cup Container Recycling.
 
2025 closed with members, friends and family collecting cans at the Woodford Cup.  A perfect sunny day fueled racegoers thirst and we collected 6,298 cans and bottles on the day. We also collected a further 1,600 odd containers from our bins prior to the races from previous events at the racetrack over summer.  A big thank you to all those who helped out before, during and after the event.
 
 
Bono borrowed Nooka's hat.
 
Lew proposed turning the event into a men's health check day.
 
All done at the Woodford Cup for another year.
 
Verto's beer update.
 
This week Lew brings us an update on Jon's pure blond beer in the tennis club fridge.  Readers will recall the pure blond had sat in the fridge all winter after Jon left it behind at our trivia night last November.  Of course, playing tennis in summer is thirsty work, so let's check in with Lew and see how the tennis club beer fridge is going.

Jon reunites with an old friend.
Ten Years Ago.
 
Ten years ago, we took part in the 'Love the Liebig' festival.  Our Charter President played the piano accordion in lederhosen, we barbecued Kanski sausages, and raffled crayfish.  None of it made any sense but the public loved it and flocked to purchase our wares.
