September 2024
We have been very busy since your last “On The Marque”. The AGM has seen us get a full committee for the first time in many years, with myself, Anne , Frans, Greg, Andrew, Gary, Graham and John, staying on in our positions. Peter LeBreton has moved to Club Captain, Alan Andoni as Committee Person and Linda Claydon has joined us as Social Director. Thanks to all for stepping up.
Now, the Euro Day, it did go ahead, albeit in the rain. We thought we could get a shower, but no, it rained all day until I got the car home in the shed, then the sun came out. Thanks to Andrew for his hard work in organising the event, and a big thank you to Frans and Greg for all of the behind the scenes work that they do, and I can`t forget to mention the helpers, other committee members and club members that stood out in the rain all day collecting at the gate or directing traffic. Another group to thank is the four people sitting under a leaking Cabana, Kay, Trish and Carol selling raffle tickets and John trying to sell regalia and keep it dry at the same time. Also, thanks to Michael Stevenson for supplying and operating the PA system, and Alan Andoni for sharing the spruiking with Andrew. All in all, a great effort from everyone to make the day the success that it was.
Yours Octagonally,
Denny Bowden,
President, MGCCHR
P.S. We now have new carpet in the Club rooms, more on that later
