LOWER MURRAY CHRISTMAS BREAK UP

The

Lower Murray

Philatelic Society

finished the year

with a Christmas

Break up at the

Imperial

Chopsticks

Chinese Restaurant in Murray Bridge (our

clubs patrons). The Annual Trophies were

presented by SAPC President Jenny Roland and this year adult members

were presented with medallions and the junior members with trophies.

2019 was a busy year for a number

of our members in the organization side of

club activities, administrations etc. With an

increasing number of members, the society

has found itself in need of finding a larger

room to

meet, and

with thanks

the society,

was able, through the local council to find a

building to share with other groups.

We thanked two retiring members for

their effort over the many years of service as

Alan Stone and

Robert Phaup

have decided

to step down from all formal activities to allow

newer members to take the helm of the

society. Alan has been the President for the

society for over thirty years and was involved

with reforming the society in 1979.

This year marks the 40th year.
