We had apologies from a few ,4 were away, 2 recuperating after operations (Tony Carter and December 9th Pete Richards) and 4 with work commitments or golf?!. Meeting Speaker: TBA Can I remind members of Ash Weston’s (Ray White R/E) Little Ray of Giving pro- gram, so if you can pick up a small present and drop it down to them they’ll wrap it December 16th and put it under the Christmas tree for the under privileged kids.
