Voucher winners were Ray Pantlin, Viv Gunter, Dave Harvey and Stewart Rogan. The Australian Tax Office has contacted us with regards Stewart Rogan’s earnings. Mick “Biscuits” Ashford is back from the USA and there was a rush of people with “wrong biases” to greet him.
There was a Special General Meeting on Wednesday (13th Nov) to determine whether we progress consideration of amalgamation of the women’s bowling club with the mens bowls, however the ladies voted previously against proceeding, so no further consideration will be given to this at this time.
