The President writes; The newsletter we trust keeps you up to date. Feel free to offer contributions; we can list things you have to sell not only in the letter but on our website. Promote your business; keep the gossip and funnies segments full, etc, etc. We trust you enjoyed the midyear function and have decided to invite Cougar bait back for our Presentation night at Cabramatta Leagues, Thanks to John Schell for his assistance in making preparations for the night and to Keith helping the guys set up and entertaining us with the music trivia. I also want to thanks the guys who have helped out in Plumb s absence to get our Thursday night raffles done. This forms an integral part to our funding. We are keen to welcome new members and particularly juniors 16 years and under, who if in anyway are associated to existing members, can weigh in at any of our competitions not only on family day. We would make a small cash prize for them should they attend and they would go into the overall junior competition winner and runner up trophies presented at year s end. Still no one has presented thus far. Due to increasing work commitments I will not be standing as President again at year s end. So it is time for members to have a think about who they would like to run the club going forward. See ya all meeting night.
