Newcastle Christmas Function 15 November 2018

There were 41 members, partners and guests at the lunch, with a contingent of nine from Sydney included in this number. As is always the case, many good and possibly inventive stories were told and old friendships cemented. Ron Welsh welcomed all present; Jim Richardson covered apologies and other matters; and President Phil Cohen extended the thanks of the Club to the Newcastle Committee and members for their continued support of ANZROC (NSW). There were the usual lucky door prize awards, a very enjoyable meal and, most importantly, a wonderful catch-up for those present. Of particular joy was the arrival of John Penn who has been seriously ill recently. He made a valiant effort to get to the function which was much appreciated by all.
