I would like to take this opportunity to thank all club office bearers for their time and help for the 2017/18 season. Also thanks to all members that have helped in any way. Without you all this club would not and could not function. Work at the clubrooms is progressing well and the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to look very bright. It is unfortunate that the project is not finished for the A.G.M. but with a little bit of luck and a stiff breeze it should be finished by Christmas or at the very least the New Year. At the September committee meeting it was decided to go ahead with the parking area and award the construction and earthworks to Bill Mellican and Steve Payne. Both are members and have generously donated their earthmoving machinery for the project. Thank you Bill and Steve. A working bee is being held on Friday 28th of September starting at 10:00 am to remove fencing and the old stables to allow Earthworks to start. Coffee and tea will be provided but bring your own lunch. Calendars are about sold out (only about 40 left!) If you require one (or more) see Natalie or Ken Perrett. Safe and happy motoring to all Regards “Chisel” The Battery Drive is still on. Batteries can be left at the Dillon’s or Chislett’s farm, or at King Cole or call Andrew Serra and he will come and pick up. Thanks to everyone helping with this continuing fundraiser. The price is up at the moment so please keep them coming in. Annual General Meeting and Dinner – Friday 28th September Proposed excursion to The Geelong Revival The Geelong revival is on the 25th November2018. We have a quotation from Warrnambool Bus lines at a cost of Approx $30.00 per head for a full bus of 57 people. The cost of course would adjust higher with less people on the bus. Viability of this trip will depend on the number of members participating and therefore keeping the cost affordable. The bus would be leaving Warrnambool at 7am and would depart Geelong at 4pm with a comfort stop at Colac each way. Partners who are not interested in Revival activities may spend the day in Geelong shopping. Indication of numbers along with a non-refundable deposit would be required by our October meeting.

Well there’s a very simple answer: Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn’t know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. It’s Early I Know Last year we had a Christmas Raffle that a lot Our OIL is located in: of members contributed to by donating goods Bass Strait for hamper, cash to prizes or asking businesses East Queensland Shale Fields to donate goods This year we will be doing the same so if you Canning Basin can help in any way would be greatly Perth Basin and appreciated.
