March 2021.

This is it we are going to have a General Meeting on the 15th March at 95 South Terrace in the city we will be using a usual format with the seating arrangement there will be tables, partners can sit next to each other, the meeting room will be disinfected prior to and after the meeting as stated previously but you as members will be required to fill out (time of attending) and sign the tracing form. Or scan the QR code which has been updated and allocated to the club, these will be placed near the doorways to the building and also the doorway near the entrance to the meeting room I have made it as simple as I can so we shouldn’t have too much of a delay in booking in. If you don’t comply with the rules you will be asked to leave. As I said in the last newsletter, we as a club need to be patient with the new protocols, some we may not agree to but it will settle down eventually.

The Committee has decided that there will be no supper supplied

(eats) for this meeting; if you wish to have supper then you must bring

your own.

There will be tea and coffee available as per last meeting.

The next trip is at Easter where Mike and Wendy will attempt to run the Easter trip to Hummocks Station. 2nd April to the 5th April, for further details look under trips in the magazine or see Mike and Wendy for details and put your name down on the trip sheet. .

Our Next meeting will be on the 15th of March, PLEASE read the club covid information and

comply with the request to let us know if you are coming as it will make the setting up

of the seating and the meeting to run more smoothly, we will have Peter Rawlins who is an official Covid Marshall at the meeting.

Hope to see you there. During this past month a past member Michael Lyons passed away after a long battle with Prostate Cancer and other things, Michael was a member from January 1998 to June 2005 when he was diagnosed with several debilitating diseases, Michael participated in many club trips including the Great Australian Cattle Drive terminating at Maree, and the last Slim Dusty Concert, also Opera in the wetlands at Kingston SE, Club trip to Leigh Creek Station one Easter, and he organized a Dawn Service at the Leigh Creek township, which had not had a Dawn Service for the past 5 years, with the help of the Suzuki Club they had a moderate turn out of about 20 people and got a mention in the RSL newsletter for that year. Michael is survived by his daughter Sharon from Victoria, and will be sadly missed by longtime friend Sandy, and Elaine & myself. Michael’s funeral was held on Wednesday the 24th of February, I was unable to attend due to being on a houseboat for the week, and the Suzuki Club was represented by Sue & Dawn, Thank you for that girls, R.I.P. Michael, your battle is over.

Cheers

Phill

Club President.
