Regular meeting 19th October 2015

 We had a nice happy meeting tonight, there were   only 10 members and 1 guest but it was the quality that counted not the quantity.  
We were missing Jane, Sam, Stephen Scott  Edith and Glennis. 
Glennis  wasnt well, hope you are Ok now Glennis we missed you.
We missed all of you come to think of it.!!!!
The word tonight was Endevour and we all endevoured to do our best with so many AWOL or in other words  missing in action.
Our next meeting will be the night before the Melbourne Cup and so we thought it might be nice for us to dress as though we were actually going to the Cup. (Suits Hats ties etc) or however you might dress if you were going to the big Race meeting of the year.
SO We hope you can get into the spirit of the Cup.
 We had  four speakers tonight Aaron, Alan, Judi and John. They were evaluated by Christine, Ann, Tony and Ann (2nd time).
That's what happens when we are short of members someone always opts to wear 2 hats. 
Thank you Ann, you were busier than a mosquito at a nudist colony, but still did 2 excellent evaluations, well done.
