Minutes.
Attendance: Nooka reported twenty-two members and that ‘Bob stuffed things up’. Thanks Nooka.
Meal: Banger and mash in an onion gravy. Mostly. As well as the mashed spud there was also mashed something else. It was green, but it wasn’t smashed avo, and didn’t seem to be spinach. Your guess is as good as mine. With something familiar with something completely unidentifiable, it had a touch of the genius of Jason about it. 10/10.
Bob and James opened the meeting before Bob called for reports;
· Robbo had the pleasure of announcing that we have a new member joining.
· Matt gave us some dates for upcoming events. See above.
· Sam asked members who haven’t renewed their membership to please do so asap. Nooka advised that members can pay their membership through our square EFTPOS device at the door.
· Bob announced that the Golden Community Raffle is on again. We will sell some of the tickets ourselves to raise money for the club.
· Lew advised members that they can continue to pledge funds for the Give up the Gaspers fundraiser. Members who have made pledges can pay cash to Lew or pay electronically with Nooka at the door.
· Malcolm was selling poppys for the RSL. Well done, Malcolm.
· Clive will organise a pickleball night at the ARC, on a Thursday night, in two or three weeks. More details to come. Members, family and friends welcome.
Matt then announced the winners of the Melbourne Cup sweep. Lew and yours truly were lucky enough to get the winner.
Nooka, possibly worried about the threat of legal action, decided to pay out on the footy tipping competition. Ron picked up a very respectable third place. Rob and Nooka tied for second place. However, in first place was Robbo, who took home a pineapple and a $100 bottle of wine. Well done, Robbo. Nooka then announced the winner of the Grand Final prediction competition. In all the excitement your correspondent forgot to recall who won.
Nooka and Bob raised $520 for the club with another very entertaining and barely legal footy tipping contest. Our sincere thanks to Nooka and Bob.
Fines from the floor were followed by the barrel draw, which was won by Francis. Francis took home the coveted bottle of wine, valued at $100.
