It was the Annual General Meeting of our Association on Saturday 21st November in Bright. Again this year we used the Bright RSL for our meetings and enjoyed an exquisite meal at Sole e Luna, owner/chef Frank Martinez and his staff put on a great spread which topped off a really good day. Thanks to our guest speakers Peter Dal Santo and Stephen Morris who did a great job informing the members who came.
We also had an informative morning on Sunday 22nd November, held indoors in Bright due to the wonderful heavy rain. This "field day" was organised as part of the Caring for Our Country Sustainable Practices Project. Thanks again to John Nieuwenhuis and Ray Borschmann for their continuing efforts on this program.
Welcome home to the 13 hardy souls who were attendees at the 1st European Congress, Cuneo - held during October in Italy. What a great trip they had and so many interesting tales! Thanks to Jane Casey for all her hard work in arranging the trip.
