ANNUAL “MIXED” Reunion LUNCHEON<br />
A very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon was enjoyed<br />
by 20 members at the Paddington RSL Club on Saturday,<br />
24th November.<br />
Unfortunately we had quite a few apologies and could<br />
not get our usual ‘Private’ room but the catering manager,<br />
Warwick, arranged our ‘Reserved’ seating in the bistro area.<br />
We asked our Honorary Chaplain, Bran Hogan, to offer<br />
Grace, after which we all chose and paid for our own meal.<br />
Everyone happily mixed in and there was plenty of<br />
‘chatter’!<br />
We were delighted to have the <strong>RAAMC</strong> <strong>Association</strong> Inc<br />
(NSW Branch) President, Theo Dechaufepie, be present<br />
with us.<br />
After the meal we adjourned to a ‘Private’ lounge room<br />
upstairs where our President, Derek Cannon, thanked<br />
everyone for their attendance especially to Ray and Theo<br />
(Summary)<br />
and sadly reminded us of our good members who had<br />
passed away during the year. He also read out the names of<br />
new members who have joined our <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
He wished everyone a HAPPY <strong>CHRISTMAS</strong> and hoped to<br />
meet us next ANZAC Day.<br />
Derek called on our Patron, COL Ray Hyslop OAM, to say<br />
a few words. Ray said he was pleased to be with us and<br />
spoke some very kind words about the late John de Witt.<br />
Our <strong>Association</strong> thanks the following members and<br />
friends for their attendance;<br />
