Tennis Parking – now the answers to the quiz

1      Right.  There was no logic in putting the sun umbrella in the shade of a tree.

2      Wrong.  Noel McInnes is the boss of the Conference, not the Parking.

3      Right.  It was an excellent idea to move the umbrella to provide shade for the workers standing at the main entrance.

4      Wrong.  Noel did not have authority to suggest moving the umbrella.

5      Wrong.  It was purely coincidental that one of the workers was Lorraine McInnes.

6      Wrong.  The sycophant who actually moved the umbrella at Noel’s behest did not for a second consider moving it with assistance from his bike.

7      Right.  The sycophant is, indeed, now expecting a very light work load at the Conference.

Cupid is at work yet again!

The Shadow understands that a certain member is blooming under the influence of new-found love.  Perhaps the Secretary will conduct a poll to discover who the lucky member is?  

David Rosback confesses to being sneaky?

The Shadow understands that David Rosback took a friend to the open day at Government House, saw an exceedingly long queue to gain admission, and decided to take the option of seeing the ballroom, where there was no queue.  From the Ballroom, they found a way to explore the rest of the rooms open to the public – without having to queue at all.  David pleads innocence.  How we do each think this rates against the 4-way test?  

Meredith Hayes’ Birthday Stunt?

The rumour is that the RAAF Roulettes Aerobatic Display Team performed over Hawthorn for Meredith Hayes’ birthday.  Is this wishful thinking?  Or exaggeration?  Or (accidental) mis-reporting the ever-fallible Shadow?
