PO Box 3004, Wamberal. NSW, 2260 Newsletter No 153 November 2018 Check our website at: www.forrestersbeachprobus.org.au A very good morning to everyone. Firstly I would like to thank all those who brought their donations today for the “Salvos” Christmas food hamper appeal and try not to forget our non-perishable food collection is available for the December meeting as well, please leave donations near the signing in table. From President Clyde Another month has flown by and most of us have handed back the grandkids and are now enjoying the warmer Wyborn weather after the drought breaking rain of late last month. Along with our usual activities some 70 members had a most enjoyable week away with our caravan and camping getaway to Forster/ Tuncurry. A great time was had by all and the chosen day tours, restaurants and other activities were well organised. Our thanks go to Ron and Sue Boundy for all their effort and a great week away. The Melbourne Cup outing at the Avoca Picture Theatre was a good day out and enjoyed by some 40 members thanks to the organising by Babs & Phil Clarke. Talk about a wonderful lifestyle we all enjoy. Aren’t we lucky to have a great lot of convenors keeping us all entertained. We are now getting serious looking for nominations for next year’s Junior Vice President, plus we also need an Assistant Treasurer. These positions are vital to the running of the club so if you have any interest it would be worthwhile talking with Bard, Lynn or Colin. Personally I have found the last three years to be very rewarding and I would encourage all members to take the opportunity to get involved in the club’s management at some stage during their membership. So don’t dilly dally any further and miss out. Clyde PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL MONIES OWING FOR DEPOSITS, TRIPS, LUNCHES ETC. ARE PAID TODAY.
