Well here we are coming into November which signals the year ending shortly. Time goes very quickly, especially when we get older. Our 2 past monthly shows, Palomino Deluxe with guest artist Derani along with our Len & Lorraine Wakefield Memorial Award winner for 2016, Chloe Warrick in September and then in October Graeme Hugo with the band Tru Country Plus guest artist Ella Radbone drew large attendances. Very pleasing. Our next show features Eddie Edwards and Friends with guest artist Tiffney Reynolds will be another ‘cracker’. We welcome back from extended holidays Bernie James, our catering Coordinator, which will put a smile onto the faces of the catering staff, and also Kevin Perry, our new Entertainment Officer. Kevin will relieve me from this task which I have enjoyed doing for the past 12 months. Our Committee is still short of a Vice President- vacant since the sad passing of Merv Jackson. I would encourage a member, male or female, with a current membership of 12 months, to come on board applying for this position. We have to look ahead and find a Vice President should I be inconvenienced at some time due to illness etc. It is an easy job. Come and talk to me. The Slovenian Club now have a new committee and heading this committee is a very approachable lady by the name of Dinka Jerebica. She is all too happy to assist our club when needed. Dinka had no intention of becoming President when attending their AGM, but was well supported by those who nominated her. I went along to Tandanya on Thursday evening 13th October to see Troy Cassar-Daley in a solo performance.
