Fireside Meeting Mar 28

Posted by Greg Peck on Mar 30, 2017

Hi All,

Our Fireside meeting was chaired by P.P. Roger Thornton as President Lyn is away. Generally our numbers were down due to some members still returning from conference, or playing Golf. We did have two visitors Bev and Jan who must have enjoyed themselves as they are intending to return to the next meeting. Our fireside meetings did not go ahead due to numbers being too low and Chairman not being present.

Terry gave us an insight on the “Ride to Conference” that has been going for 17 years. This year the riders averaged between 60 to 70 Kilometers per day. The longest day ride was about 90 kilometers. They have raised a significant amount over the years, their target being 1 million over 20 years. They are on budget to achieving this.

Ian reported on the successful and profitable community dace.

Tim and Jan A, together with Graeme and Loris B. and Bill v D. did an outstanding effort in organizing and running a sausage sizzle at Fred Taylor’s clearance sale in Nar Nar Goon North. Tim informed me that they were all tired but had a very successful day.

Roger informed us about the latest at DIK and Essendon Men’s Shed making building blocks for Timor Leste. Roger gave one to Alan who will take it to his Men's Shed.

Have a great day all,

Pres. Elect. Greg
