Minutes.
Attendance: Who knows? It seemed quite decent though.
Meal: Whatever your heart desired, as long as it was on the RSL menu. Bono tried to order a senior’s meal, but the bar staff took one look at his rich thatch of dark hair and declined his request.
David stood up and tried to speak without the aid of a microphone over the din of a large RSL lunchtime crowd. I am assuming he introduced our President, because Brendan stood up and spoke. Brendan advised us;
- Please pay your membership dues if they are still outstanding. Our club is outstanding, but your dues should not be.
- Our Christmas shindig will be on December the 5th and Linda and Brendan’s.
- Our joint club meeting at the RSL is going ahead on September 24th.
- We were please to welcome back Surf and Jon, and possibly another member who’s name this correspondent did not catch.
- The RC of Port Fairy will be holding a fashion parade on September 19th. Entry is $15. Bono is the current short priced favourite.
- Rob Harris is doing okay but is obviously battling a very serious illness. We continue to think of Rob.
In reports;
- Jon asked members to rsvp immediately in the Stack App for the September 24th meeting. We need numbers for catering purposes.
- Matt advised that Bernadette, Matt and one other wonderful community member had completed the proposed storm clean up at the local resident’s house. We thank Matt, Bernadette and the anonymous volunteer.
- Hutto was organising members for another round of can sorting at the racecourse.
David chimed in with another excellent lawyer joke before Matt presented a great fines session based on the AFL finals. We did quite poorly at answering the questions, partly because all the StKilda, Essendon, Carlton, Bulldogs, Richmond and Melbourne fans present had actually forgotten the finals were on. If Matt had asked us questions about draft and trade rumours we would have aced it. The barrel was drawn and Les went home with the rich prize on offer.
We thank the RSL for hosting us in our hour of need.
