Tribute to an external Rotary Club
Joe Devereux described his visit to the Darwin Rotary Club as party to the Rotary golf event and how in particular the visitors enjoyed the trip to the Darwin Museum and the fancy dressup/parade in army uniform. It was not declared as to which rank Joe had but one can imagine he would have been fighting for a least some senior ranking officer level, major at least.
While conceding that he was on the way out in terms of golfing prowess one still got the feeling he will be seriously involved in next years event in Cairns on June 23 -28 at Paradise Palms.
Injury List
As Pres Geoff pointed out Bernie Walshe was back in action.
Neil Roberts, Vic Burns were both reported well and looking to be back soon.
A card was circulated for Arch Crow who will be 92 years old on July 1 and waiting in St George Hospital soon to be accommodated in more suitable fashion in lodgings in the Ivanhoe area. Send him a personal best wishes.
Charles Morrison will be out of action for a while he undergoes some back work at Cabrini. We wish him well.
Presidential Cocktail Party
Earlier foreshadowed for the 8th of July, Ngaire Cannon advised that arrangements are still being finalised and so the event will be somewhat later--so keep watch. Overheard comments that maybe this means there will be an opportunity to now taste last years vintage of Grange.
