Pat’s patter
While President Pat and Veronica have been frightening the animals in Africa
and now soaking up the cultural delights of Europe, your enthusiastic Committee have been hard at work.
Our ANNIVERSARY Lunch, as usual will be held in July. This year we are not
having a Speaker but are giving you all, especially our new members, the
chance to mingle, chat and gossip before and during our usual delicious lunch.
BUT, we need you to put your name on the list and PAY at this meeting, so as
to confirm numbers for our caterer.
Barbara, our superb tour organizer, has put together two interesting, informative and very reasonably priced day trips (thanks to the Grant subsidy) for September and October. We are taking names now and the final price for the
Tyabb Air Museum will be determined by the number of attendees.
Winter is now officially upon us, do hope you all keep warm, well and enjoying
life, especially those travelling.
