Our ANNIVERSARY Lunch, as usual will be held in July. This year we are not having a Speaker but are giving you all, especially our new members, the chance to mingle, chat and gossip before and during our usual delicious lunch. BUT, we need you to put your name on the list and PAY at this meeting, so as to confirm numbers for our caterer. Barbara, our superb tour organizer, has put together two interesting, informative and very reasonably priced day trips (thanks to the Grant subsidy) for September and October. We are taking names now and the final price for the Tyabb Air Museum will be determined by the number of attendees. Winter is now officially upon us, do hope you all keep warm, well and enjoying life, especially those travelling. Joan Convenors and contributors to the Newsletter please note that in my absence Diane Robinson kindly agreed to produce the Newsletter for July.
