Our next meeting is at the Union Hotel on 3rd April. The meeting will be in the Uncorked Room as the Terrace Room has a prior booking. The Hotel can provide the same setup and access to a screen etc. Your chairman will be PP Ian Pocock since I will be an apology. I am trying to discover how to retire and give up work, so I am off to Yarrawonga to play golf with some guys who have lead me astray annually for 12+ years.
The following week (10th April) we are having an evening meeting at the Malabar, Indian Restaurant, Pacific Highway, Crows Nest.
