Injury List
John Carre-Riddell gave his usual report on the well being of indisposed members. Happy to hear that all should be back on the field in a few weeks.
Vic Burns now at home is recuperating from his plethora of injuries and should be back in about 3 weeks.
Arch Crow is still at St Georges awaiting more suitable care options. John had visited him prior to the meeting and noted Acrh's usual level of cheer.
Jim Earle (hand) also is recovering well and hopes to be back for next week's meeting.
Bernie Walshe is back home after a stint at St Vincents and looking forward to an early return (maybe even next week).
As ever John reminds us that all would be happy to have a chat over the phone and catch up with the club gossip.
The Shadow whispered that this is the mid season break for many members. Charles Morrison has been enjoying the lack of sunshine up in northern Australia and was heard to comment that he went fishing on the Gulf of Carpentaria and referred to something about a record catch ( usual aviators exaggeration). Simon O"Donoghue has made a special trip to Darwin to check out the real facts.
Aside from the various travel plans ( Warrens to Cambodia, Trodels 2 months os, etc, etc...) there is a story that one of the bridge playing members found himself on the Channel 10 News last Monday when a camera team intruded a Brighton club where he was playing to interview a selection of wealthy retirees on their response to the stock market crash that morning. He declined the interview for lack of wealth.
