Caz and I had a great night at the Christmas Party, numbers were down a bit but those who attended had a great time.
Hutto made me laugh at the Christmas Party – he has been in 10 fights and has won them all by a minimum of 100 meters!
I was honoured to present the Royce Abbey Award to Brendan O’Neill (Bono), originally Past President James Mepham was going to present it at the changeover so as Bono was away we though the next best opportunity would be the Christmas party.
And the Ferrall award…
This will (or should be if the awardee turns up) be presented at the auspicious occasion of the District Governors visit this coming Wednesday.
The recycling project at the Warrnambool Racing Club is well under way, it looks like Hutto will save us a heap of money by getting Wheelie Waste to donate 40 bins, this will mean we just have to pay for the signage.
We have a Board Meeting this week and will discuss our potential involvement with the Nippers BBQ.
