President Peter Gibbs’ Address

Without question the 21^st birthday High Tea was and will be our highlight for the year.

Congratulations to the sub committee of John Phillips (chair), Carole Williams, Trevor Mackey and Mike Pavey in structuring an agenda that balanced entertainment with dining in a decorated venue at an attractive price to members.

One could reflect on the day but this is an instance where images surpass words and the accompanying photos fit the bill.

During the ‘High Tea’, Mike Pavey put together an excellent presentation that scrolled through during the afternoon, featuring all the Presidents, pictured above, since the club started in 2004, together with the hi-lights of their particular years and outings enjoyed by the individual convenor’s groups.

A very sincere well done Mike!
So, back to business:

At our last Committee meeting nominations by Annette Brownscombe and Sandy Tilley were appointed to the Outings portfolio on a to be arranged alternating basis. We will take a month or two to ramp up and your support for Outings is paramount to ensuring its longevity as committee position.

The Speaker Coordinator(s) is still our Achilles heel in providing a meaningful monthly general meeting. At our April meeting Peter Gurry delivered guidelines for Speaker Engagement.

Several SEG/Committee members are leading by example and using these guidelines have arranged speakers for June /July/August and October.
