Many thanks to Nev Bayliss for making our third visit to The Shire a memorable one - Santa hats included.
Those present unanimously agreed that we should continue with the Woy Woy tradition; so, let's look forward to seeing each other there early next year.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Although the numbers were down, the spirits were high.
Sadly, some of our members are no longer able to make it to the lunches whilst, on this occasion, others were overseas or interstate.

The recent passing of Peter French brought to mind this classic caricature of Barry Robertson that appeared in an article in the SMH under the heading: Trouble-shooter has work cut out.
The article dealt with the sacking of Peter together with Ray Morley, Graeme White and John Rumble on 16 August 1991. Although the sackings were a Board decision, it was left to Barry (as the new CEO) to do the deed. And you just have to love the way in which the artist turned the AGC tumble-blocks into a chopping block.
An earlier SMH article on the matter featured this rather typical photo of Peter:
It’s a bit scary to think that all this happened nearly 31 years ago!
