Hello fellows,
Congratulations to the new Board members elected at the AGM held last week. The successful candidates were Kevin Beltrame, Joe Campisi, Connie Galletta, Paul Giammarco, George Hallworth and Stephen Taylor and will support Keith Byrn during 2004/2005.
Special congratulations to George Hallworth who was nominated and subsequently elected as President Elect for the year 2004/2005. George is a respected senior member of our club and I am confident will have the support of all members during his year as President.
Well another Christmas carols event, in conjunction with Strathfield Council, has come and gone. Considering the rain we experienced during the preceding days and the weather on Saturday night I think we were lucky to get away with it.
Particular thanks must go to Bert Houston who not only coordinated the event but was responsible for carrying out many tasks himself leading up to the night and was assisted by Bill Carney. Overall the night was a success due to the support and assistance of those members who there on the night. Thank you.
At the time of writing this piece I am not yet aware of the financial result.
Unfortunately the numbers attending the ”Christmas meeting ” at Viscardi’s Restaurant this week are less than expected, but I’m sure those attending will have a pleasant evening.
As mentioned last week we have planning to give Dan Murphy’s one more go on Saturday 20 December to have a BBQ. Shirley Del Prado will be following up those members who indicated they would be available on the 20th.
The last meeting this year will be 17 December. The 7th and 14th of January 2004 will be social meetings, possibly restaurant & a bowls night. First normal meeting back at the Golf Club will be 21 January 2004.
Have a good week
Keith
