BOB'S BANTER
 
It has been quite a busy week for us starting with the PETS seminar at Stanthorpe. There was a lot crammed into the two days but a great opportunity to meet other presidents and to see how they tackle their problems. Hopefully I will be able to implement some ideas learnt over the next twelve months.

It was great to be able to host the Group Friendship Exchange team from Wisconsin on Wednesday and their presentation was terrific. It was pleasing to see some of our members hosting and I am sure they enjoyed
the experience. Roches did an excellent job in setting up the Stables and Geoff produced a fine lunch.


Our progressive dinner went well and somehow Des ended up winning another tin of Spam, such luck!. Many thanks to those who contributed the food and especially Judy G and Lee for their venues as well as Don, Peter, and Robert organising tables and chairs.
Jeff did a great job highlighting his products which were enjoyed immensely.

Wednesday will be a Cub Assembly meeting with reports from all directors and an update from our last board meeting so come and have your say for the future planning.

We have an opportunity for lunch at the TAFE on Wednesday 13th March at 12.30. Cost is $15.00 per head and we will be looking for numbers on Wednesday. It will be a limited menu and we may have to pre-order. Will know more on Wednesday, look forward to seeing you then.

JOKE CORNER

When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
