President’s Soapbox

I know it’s cold and hard to get out of a warm bed, but now is a great time to be out walking in the bush. The air is clear and it’s not so hot, which allows for nice easy walking conditions.  
 
The Winter Program is now available and as you will see we have again produced a great and varied range of activities. We must all thank each of our leaders and I encourage you to do so at every opportunity (as without them we wouldn’t have a club!).
 
Our AGM will be held on Saturday 23 June (followed by the hotly contested photo competition), and I’d like to see you all there. This is an opportunity for you to have a say in the running of your club. Also, if you’ve ever thought of wanting to be on the committee, please contact me as there are many openings available.
 
I’d also like to encourage everyone to add some more social outings to the program. It would be great to have a few more restaurant nights and/or other social activities on the calendar, to compliment the ever popular theatre nights.
 
An interesting observation in our finances is that new members contribute greatly each year to our income (and thus viability). For this reason, please welcome new members with open arms and continue to talk about how wonderful our club is to your friends and acquaintances.
 
See you in the bush…
 
Liam Heery Acting President
