Combined Meeting 14 November - Your wandering Bulletin Editor hasn’t received a meeting report from last week yet. Looking at the messages below it seems likely that everyone was having too much of a good time to think about taking notes for the bulletin.
- Message from President Noel
- Thanks to everyone that was able to attend and for helping with organising the meeting. I trust that you all enjoyed the night. Everyone I spoke to from the other clubs said that they had enjoyed themselves.
- We raised $339 from the raffle and $229 from the sergeants. Well done team.
- Congratulations to Bruce Gillies for his award of another Paul Harris Award from District Governor Lindsay. This was on the District Governor's own initiative. I didn't know it was going to be presented. Well deserved Bruce.
- Thanks to those that brought partners and guests with them. We had 22 from the club and 80 in total in attendance. A very successful night thanks to everyone lending a hand.
- Message from Past President Frank
- I know it is a team effort, but I would like to congratulate President Noel on running such a wonderful evening with great leadership, commentary and timing.
