29 October 2003
Good evening fellows.
Last Saturday morning we tried our first BBQ experiment at Dan Murphy’s, Enfield. The day was successful in that it was well received, however we overestimated the expected number of customers on the day and underestimated the lousy weather on the morning, as a result it wasn’t as successful financially as I had hoped, but I think it is definitely worth doing again. I wish to thank Shirley Del Prado, Kevin Freund, Connie Galletta, Bert Houston and Niall King and. who gave up their time to assist me with the BBQ.
As advised previously, the Golf Club is not available for our meeting on 19 November so a transfer meeting is being arranged to inspect the Fairfax printing plant at Chullora on Thursday 20 November 2003. Why Thursday I hear you ask, it’s because the evening tours are only run on Thursdays. I will be confirming final details this week and will hopefully have more for you by the time we meet on Wednesday night.
Warren Abbott underwent hip replacement surgery last Wednesday. I have spoken to Warren in hospital and he is in good spirits. He is likely to be in hospital until Tuesday or Wednesday this week.
A reminder that club elections will be held on 3 December 2003 to elect the Board for the 2004/2005 year. I would encourage all club members to consider nominations for positions on the Board and other positions of office. Remember it’s your club, you get out of it what you put into it.
Keep the 6th of December available in your diary for Christmas carols in Strathfield Park.
Have a good week
Keith
