Decision Time
In The Chair: President Carmel
 
 
Members: 16
Guests:   Marina Cook, Carol Chiswell
 
********************************
Trip Decision Time
 
The proposal for a trip (or two) was discussed.  The choices came down to Cowra and Wagga.  After a little discussion, it was decided that Cowra was the go and maybe Wagga later in the year.  There was also plenty of discussion about timing and a suggestion was the weekend of 23 March (ed: does this fit with the Citrus Australia catering?)
 
Carol and Carmel volunteered to flesh out some details.

Peter was very diligent in getting the goss. on us all. He particularly focused on Alan for his many cars, Graeme for the RGA meetings and the President for her love of greens (not!).

“Good. What comes after three?”
“Four,” answered the boy.
“What comes after six?”
“Seven.”
“Very good,” said the teacher.  “Your dad did a good job.  And what comes after 10?”
