Well nearly half the year has gone and the time as President has been exceptionally busy. Following a special meeting of the committee you will have received copies of the changes to the Constitution and the Standing Resolutions for the club.
I urge all members to read these carefully as this will be put to members for approval at the next meeting on the 18 th of June. A special thank you to Graeme Storey for the mammoth effort he has put in for us to be able to present these changes.
As you would all be aware we have had to make the very difficult decision to defer new membership and to restrict visitors for the time being. This was a hard decision but we as a committee felt it necessary in the interest of all members safety and enjoyment .
Last meeting saw a change in the morning tea arrangement with two venues to make tea and coffee. This I felt fragmented our members a bit but it was an idea by the club to try and ease congestion and speed things up a bit. Feedback on this new arrangement would be appreciated .
At the last meeting our guest speaker Winston Marsh provided us with a lot of humour and some very thought provoking messages.
On Thursday the 29th of May 24 members traveled to the Melbourne fire brigade museum and then to Metro tunnel information centre for a very informative day and great time was had by all.
Although the cold weather had an influence on attendance at the last meeting, I look forward to seeing as many as possible on the 18th of June, our next meeting date.
