President's Pen
 
 Our 2nd Fellowship Day went well.  Made additionally great with the Induction of Charlotte England and made doubly special as Peter England was able to make lunch.   Thanks to David Pisterman for his 2nd turn as MC.  It was also very pleasing to note that given Lawrence’s & Bernie’s leadership, my absence was barely noted.  Thank you to both.  Thank you to everyone for their very enthusiastic approach to Fellowship Day.

Your Editor Confesses
Last week I reported on the talk (Royalty, Romance and Remedies) by Tony Atkinson; and it seems I may have made some errors of fact – dates were self-contradictory etc.  Those all-too-rare occasions (shame, shame) that a reader responds to the Bulletin always pleases the Editor (whoever he or she is): At least someone reads the bulletin! So, thank you Phil Stewart for raising good questions.  Alas I cannot answer them.  But I still think Tony had some really good yarns!
 
The Shadow
Sometimes, alas, The Shadow gets it wrong.  The report of Anne Scott’s weightlifter granddaughter weighing 60 kg was, apparently, wrong: she weighs 47 kg and lifts 70kg! And now, The Shadow can do a follow-on story: Anne has a 16 year old grandson who is now representing Victoria in the junior bike riding championships.  From which side of the family do these kids get their sporting prowess?
 
The Shadow understands that the Club will soon be seeking someone to act as a mentor in the highly regarded Police Mentoring program.  One of The Shadow’s informants suggests, on condition of strict anonymity, that John Christoffelsz might be a suitable candidate.  Why?  Apparently John had a traffic accident.  Apparently it was his fault.  Apparently he hit a police car!  (Can anyone flesh out this story with juicy details?)
 
 
 

Injured List

I've heard no recent news of members being ill, or injured, or in hospital. Are we all really that healthy and well?

Please let me know if you are aware of any member who is ill, or injured, or in hospital etc.

 

 

Make ups and Apologies

Remember, please: Geoff Wright collates attendance information and he needs to be told of  "make up " events which we attend.

Also, please tell Lawrence Reddaway by Friday noon of any expected absence from lunch on Tuesday.  

(Late or non apologies can raise our catering costs.) sad

Furthermore, please alert Lawrence to any attending guests so that he can include them in his estimate for the Kooyong caterers, and prepare name tags. smiley
