Looking forward to seeing you there.

The audience enjoyed some jolly and adventurous singing. Afterwards the tea and lucky door prizes were much appreciated.

Finally – a reminder

The first meeting of 2016 is 14th January 2016

 

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

2015 is Winding Down

Only two more meetings before we take our end of year break. The meetings on the 19th November and 3rd December are all that remain for this year but never fear we start up again on 14th January 2016 (where does the time go?).

On the bright side we have two great events to look forward to:

The Christmas Concert

Once again our mighty concert group have put together a wonderful show to entertain and amaze you. Their take on the festive season is always fresh, exciting and, best of all, yours for a mere gold coin donation.

Join the concert group in Heininger Hall on the 30th November at 1.30pm for a fantastic show, refreshments and a chance to win one of many lucky door prizes. It is great fun and you will really enjoy yourself.

By the way if you would like to take part in our concerts the group is always looking for new performers, musicians or behind the scenes people. Why not join them? You will be made most welcome.

Christmas Lunch

At the next two meetings members will be able to buy tickets for the Christmas Lunch. For a mere $18 a delicious two course meal, good company and a lot of fun is yours for the asking.

The lunch is on the 10th December in the Sinclair Room at Dapto Leagues Club. Put the date in your diary and make sure you get a ticket; it will be great fun.

The Next Meeting – 19th November

The meeting starts promptly at 10.30 am

Don't forget to come early:

• Buy your raffle tickets to win one of either $20 or two $10 prizes.
• Book a computer lesson
• Get your name down for one of the hit shows booking this year.
• Enjoy a tea/coffee and biscuits.
• Have a look for a bargain on the trade table.
• Pick up a copy of The Senior Newspaper and/or The Voice when they are available.
• Find out about our many activities that you can join in, there is something on everyday of the week.

During the meeting there will be the usual short reports about the various activities the club offers its members and you are able to bring up matters of interest to members during General Business - don't be afraid to speak up if there is something that concerns you, this is YOUR club.

The meeting usually finishes between 11 and 11.30am.

New members are most welcome to come along and find out about the club, there is a short newsletter available for new or potential members at the raffle/signing in table which details coming events and contact details for the various group leaders. Please take one.

Next Meeting–29th January 2015

Doesn’t time fly? already it is time for the second meeting of 2015!

The Branch Annual General Meeting

A question was raised at the last meeting asking, “When is the club’s AGM?”

As you are probably aware last year we changed the club’s financial year from the calendar year to the financial year as allowed in the constitution - rule 11.13.14.

This change was purely to assist our hard working Treasurer so he didn’t have to produce two financial statements each year. The only other effect it has is to delay the AGM (rule 11.8.2).

This change doesn’t affect the membership year which remains as the calendar year nor does it affect the hall and room bookings which again remain tied to the calendar year. We anticipate the AGM and election of office bearers will be held during the last meeting in July but this will be subject the club’s accounts being audited so bear with us on this it is a new experience for all of us. Once we have this year under our belt the following years should be easier.

I hope this clears things up.

A Reminder

All Memberships are due! It is still only $12 for the year but please bring the exact money.

Our show ticket organiser would like the $60 for those going to Les Miserable.

See you at the meeting!

Next Meeting - 15th January 2015

The meeting starts promptly at 10.30 am

Don't forget to come early.

This is the first meeting of 2015 and all annual membership fees are due but the good news is that annual fees are still only $12. Please make our hard working treasurer’s life a little easier by bringing the correct money in an envelope. If you want an application form one can be downloaded by >>Clicking Here<< . This form is designed to be printed on a DL envelope (110mm by 220mm).

The morning will have all the usual features:

• Buy your raffle tickets to win one of either $20 or two $10 prizes.
• Book a computer lesson
• Get your name down for one of the hit shows booking this year.
• Enjoy a tea/coffee and biscuits.
• Have a look for a bargain on the trade table.
• Pick up a copy of The Senior Newspaper and/or The Voice when they are available.
• Find out about our many activities that you can join in, there is something on everyday of the week.

During the meeting there will be the usual short reports about the various activities the club offers its members and you are able to bring up matters of interest to members during General Business - don't be afraid to speak up if there is something that concerns you, this is YOUR club.

The meeting usually finishes between 11 and 11.30am.

Some Reminders:

As was originally discussed late in 2013 and confirmed last year our financial year has been changed to coincide with the Head Office financial year so we will not be having an AGM in January. The AGM will be held in late July or early August (possibly 30th July but the actual date will be given in plenty of time before the event).

The club’s Birthday Book was getting a bit tatty so a new one has been produced - please write your name clearly in the appropriate date if you would like your birthday or anniversary mentioned at the meeting just before the event.

New members are most welcome to come along and find out about the club, there is a short newsletter available for new or potential members at the raffle/signing in table which details coming events and contact details for the various group leaders. Please take one.
