Welcome
TO YOUR SPRING ISSUE
It’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of 2014. What a year it
has been! Our financial position is outstanding and we have many
exciting changes planned for 2015.
The renovations at Tradies Helensburgh are almost complete with the
new R & R Catering Café open, R & R Catering running the Bistro, the
kid’s playground, Max’s World and internal upgrades. We’ve had great
feedback from the community on the new facilities and we’re looking
forward to a successful 2015 in Helensburgh (Page 4).
Tradies Caringbah has experienced impressive growth in membership
and visitation throughout the year, which has allowed us to improve
our food and gaming offerings as well as update the façade of the
building. Since our amalgamation back in 2009, Tradies Caringbah
has gone from strength to strength and in 2014 it has once again
delivered a great financial result.
Despite delays in securing approval from Council, we are now ready
to start work on a series of significant improvements at Tradies Gymea.
This is a very exciting time for Tradies and I encourage you to continue
to visit us and watch the changes unfold.
2014 was a busy year for Tradies out in the community with many
events, including our recent Girls Morning In fundraiser (see page 8),
the annual Relay For Life in May and our first Schools For Cambodia
Gala Dinner in August. We are continually impressed by the support
and generosity shown by Sutherland Shire residents and we thank you
for your dedication to the community.
In addition to participating in and organising fundraising events, Tradies
donated more than $600,000 in financial and in-kind contributions to
community organisations in 2014. Our ClubGRANTS funding vastly
exceeds the legislated requirements and we are looking forward to
continuing our community relationships and building new ones in
2015.
From the President
On behalf of Tradies Board of Directors, I’m very
happy to inform our members that we will be
upgrading our dining facilities in 2015.
In order to increase our selection of food
offerings, we have recently commenced work in
the current Whitlam Room to transform the area
into a new Asian restaurant, which is scheduled
to open in March 2015. This new restaurant will
provide our members with a third dining option
when they visit Tradies Gymea.
Once the Asian restaurant is open, the current
Brasserie will also experience an upgrade. The
renovations will lift this area to the high standard
set by the West Wing, which opened in 2012.
Due to its popularity, the Gymea Café will also
be included in the renovations with an expanded
seating area and fresh look.
The plans presented by the Red Design Group
are very impressive and we’re looking forward to
offering our members a whole new experience
here at Tradies Gymea. For more information
on the renovations at Tradies Gymea, please see
page 5.
The Board wishes all Tradies members and their
families a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy
New Year.
On behalf of our Management and Staff, I
thank all our members and guests for their
continued support throughout 2014 and we
look forward to seeing you in 2015. We wish
you a very Merry Christmas and all the best
for the New Year!

Happily Ever After
Ron & Lynn Hodder Celebrate 50 years of Wedded Bliss
Many of our members and guests know Ron Hodder
After 50 years together Ron and Lynn have 3 beautiful from his fabulous welcome at the Tradies Gymea reception. daughters and 8 grandchildren.
What you might not know is that Ron recently celebrated
his 50th wedding anniversary with his wonderful wife Lynn.
From everyone at Tradies, congratulations Ron and Lynn!
They met at a church dance when he was 18 and she
was 15 and it was love at first sight.
“I first asked Lynn to marry me when she was 15,” says
Ron. “It was very romantic, we were sitting in a bus shelter!”
Despite the ‘unromantic’ first proposal, Ron and Lynn tied
the knot on the 17th of October 1964 at Our Lady of the
Rosary Catholic Church in Kensington.
We asked Ron what the secret to 50 years of wedded
bliss was and his answer was simple, “I hide all the knives,”
he said with a wink. Luckily, we’ve seen Ron and Lynn
together and we think we’ve worked out their secret: love,
a sense of humour and simply enjoying life together.

Commemorating 100 Years From Gallipoli
A Dream Come True for Caringbah RSL Sub branch
An official plaque installed in the Memorial Park at
Caringbah was a dream for members of Caringbah RSL Sub
branch. For many years, sub branch member Mr Giles, who
is an avid lover of history, worked towards the installation
of this plaque along with Sutherland Shire Council’s former
Mayor Steve Simpson and parks administrators.
Caringbah RSL Sub Branch is the first in the Sutherland Shire
to hold the Anzac Day Dawn Service, which in 2015 will
commemorate 100 years from the first solders landing in
Gallipoli.
The march starts at 4.15am on the corner of Kingsway &
Denman Ave on the 25th April 2015 and will parade to the
Caringbah Memorial Park where members of the public
including local politicians, schools, council members,
Rotarians and others will lay wreaths to honour those who
have served and died for their country in all conflicts.
It was in 1945 in the kitchen of Arch Tickner’s home, that the
first meeting of the Caringbah RSL was held with 9 members
in attendance. A venue was sought for future meetings and
the old Caringbah Hall with its rental of one shilling a week
was selected. The Caringbah Hotel now stands where these
first meetings took place.
For more information on laying a wreath or becoming an
RSL member please contact the RSL Sub branch Secretary
The first land donated to the RSL, housed a garage which Bob Tuckwell at Caringbahrsl@hotmail.com
was replaced by an army hut purchased from the Holsworthy
Army barracks in November of 1946.
From the original 9 members to the 100 strong today, the
Sub branch is now housed in the thriving Tradies Caringbah
on Banksia Road within the original building, built in 1958.
Members today include serving members, members from
the 2nd World War, Vietnam War, newly recruited affiliate
members including those whose forbears date from the first
and second world wars.

Hello Jeff and all Staff,
From the moment I met with the
Events Staff at the Club on the 1st
March this year I knew that I had
made the right choice. Each following
meeting, contacts either by email or
phone displayed the professionalism
of the staff. I went away after each
contact feeling excited and growing

The food and the service, the
selection and presentation were way
ahead of all expectations.The staff all
throughout the night were there doing
their job, but in such a wonderful
professional manner, they did there
job and let us get on with the job of
enjoying the night.
I can’t thank you all enough, I have
had many nights at the Tradies for
various functions, but this…well
you made me feel like a Princess, so
special did I feel.
My guests are still telling me how Keep doing what you are doing; your

Dear Tim,
On behalf of the Geraghty family,
we wanted to thank you and your
team for the wonderful job they did
in hosting my father’s wake yesterday.
Tina was very caring, compassionate
and professional in what was a
difficult time for us.
Originally only the Bass and Flinders
room was available and we were
concerned that it may be too small as
it was hard to tell how many people
would be coming. Tina moved heaven
and earth to secure us the Southern
Cross Terrace which turned out to be
perfect.
My Dad was a meticulous planner of
events and he would have been very
happy with how the whole day went.
You should be very proud of your
team. Please thank Tina and Bianca
and the rest of the Tradies team who
looked after us, they all did a fantastic
job.
For any future events, the Tradies will
be our first choice.
Best Regards,
Paul
