SEASONS GREETINGS
The President wishes the members, visitors and ALL our readers in Australia
and overseas A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
WELCOME to CHRISTMAS CARROLL DAY and to DAWSON, on his 16th re-entry into
the Southern Hemisphere to be donor of the day's prizes as well as being sponsor
of the coveted Dawson Carroll Trophy. Dawson had his own name inscribed
on the hallowed hardware in 1993. Recent winners have been:
1999 Colin Lacey
2000 Frank van Heyningan
2001 Alan Lewis
2002 Jim Small
Good luck to today's field.
Our latest country member, Tony Della, plans to hit the highway from Moss
Vale to be a contender for the annual trophy. He should be able to give
us some details of the recent Southern Highlands earthquake, which was felt
in French's Forest and Dee Why.
A SPECIAL MENTION of Life Members Andy Warner and Postie, who have been
on their feet since 0500, in the early am, in their quest to net sufficient
prawns from PYRMONT to supplement our Christmas luncheon. There was
a full tide at 6:00am - so they should bag a good selection.
OUR EVER PRESENT Bill Sheehan LM will not be in attendance. He is
spending Christmas with his son and daughter-in-law at their home on NORFOLK
ISLAND. He will be pleased to see them but was less than happy in the
thought that he had to make his first trip in an aircraft.
