7/1/24 The feedback on our meeting at the Mile End Hotel has been pretty positive.
So our next meeting, the branch AGM, will be there.
We scraped in with enough committee nominations to stay alive.

The nominations for our 2024 committee are:
President, Maurice Stevens;
Secretary, Ken Wagnitz;
Treasurer, Robin Butler;
Welfare Officer, Ian Pascoe;
General Committee, Ray Murray, Gary Priest.
-So no voting required at our AGM. But come along anyway.


22/12/23 January meeting venue:
Our Jan 2024 meeting will be at The Mile End Hotel, 30 Henley Beach Rd, Mile End.
We have a room to ourselves, seniors prices, and Thu special of $25 burger and beer.
Plenty of parking around back of the hotel.

Branch AGM at Feb meeting:
The January meeting is the last chance to get in nominations for our 2024 committee.
Gary won't be standing as president. Peter will be leaving, travelling around Oz.
We need more committee members, and a new president. Failing that, we hand over $6k to UCARF and become an informal branch.
Have a serious think about it.
You can download a nomination form here.


12/12/23 Our December Odyssey magazine is on Our Magazine page. Thanks Maurice.

Brian Coates, long time member and friend of many, died at home yesterday afternoon.
We have fond memories of his cheeky smile and happy demeanour.
He brought Thao into the Club a little over 12 years ago and their love, dedication and adoration for each other was envied.
We send love and sympathy to Thao and daughter Sarah.
