Edition 28 3rd May 2016

Dear Members,

Best news of the week … Rob is out of hospital after 5½ weeks

of being stuck in St John of God Murdock, he’s finally out and

throwing himself a little party daily (looking for party-goers to

join him, all visitors welcome…. Haaha) He is truly happy to be

out, as you can imagine for someone that was at the peak of

his performance training for Aussies to be bed ridden for such

a long time, it has taken its toll.

However, he’s “Home-Up-And-About” still on heavy

medication and attending regular check-ups. But, hopefully

we’ll be seeing him around the club soon.

Thank you to all those members that have been concerned

and calling to find out his progress. Messages have been

forwarded.

Rob, will be attending our Prestigious Annual Dinner Dance

and Awards night, so if you haven’t already booked your

tickets for yourself or for a table of friends, please do so … This

is a star-studded night, filled with entertaining fun and

celebrations. You wouldn’t want to miss out. As mentioned

there are still some tickets available so it’s not too late to

book, just call us in the office to book: 9448 1431, between

9.30-2.30pm.

AGM – Friday, 24th June:

The date has been finalised for our AGM. It will be structured

slightly different this year and will not be a long drawn out

process with each Director standing up to cover their

relevant disciplines. Rob will do a “general” discussion;

Martina will discuss finances, then there will be an open forum

for any Q&A’s.

Registrations will commence from 5-6.30pm with the AGM

starting at 7:00pm. All members that attend the AGM will

need to be financial members for the 2016/17 season in order

to vote at the AGM, as an incentive for attending the AGM

your membership fees will be given to you at the 2015/16

rate.

Kind regards,

Kerry Yates

Administration Manager
