Happenings at the last meeting 
 
The meeting was a club night.  There was no invited speaker.
 
There was no Secretary report.  We wish the secretary Bob well in his recuperation and that his assistant Chris is on board next week.
 
Tony gave an interesting talk about his ex-RAAF 38’ crash boat, the Glen Mist.  About 170 boats were built for the WW2 effort, of these 43 were commissioned by the RAAF.  They were also used as fire tenders.  Tony and Sue’s boat was commissioned in 1941, and was originally fitted with two eight cylinder Chrysler engines.  It was decommissioned in 1955.  A number of photos are included below.  You have done a great job Tony, very impressive.
 
Rick was others have cleaned out the Old Shire Office cupboard.  It sounds like a job well done.
 
Mike spoke about the media activity. Activity is increasing and we expect that it to again improve with us promoting our sponsors,
 
Harry spoke about an offer to support the Dromana Community House with a donation of milk products.
 
Lyn spoke about the memorial for David Buchanan and expects that it will be in the third week of May and probably in the late morning time .
 
Tony said that 35 stall holders had indicated their intention to be at this month’s market.  He expects a few more to apply.  There are 5 new stall holders so the market seems to going from strength to strength.
 
Adrian is organising a visit to the Victorian Parliament House in August this year.  This sound  interesting;  I am sure Adrian will keep us informed.
