Hello Members,<br />
With the Annual General Meeting upon us there is not much to say in this issue <strong>of</strong> ABA for this<br />
membership year that won’t be addressed at the AGM. I would like to say that on my début<br />
year as President, I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the membership in the role. The First<br />
Lady and I have had a tough year balancing the sum total <strong>of</strong> my time commitments between<br />
child sports for our three kids, Work Commitments and <strong>Club</strong> Activity, so I do hope that what I<br />
have been able to do is seen as being valuable and constructive.<br />
I would like to recognise the support received from a team <strong>of</strong> dedicated and committed individuals who have served<br />
as committee members this year. The Vic <strong>Club</strong> remains healthy and is going from strength to strength. We are about<br />
to elect a fresh batch <strong>of</strong> Committee (Or a Bunch <strong>of</strong> Hand-Me-Downs) for the coming year so please come give your<br />
support by coming to the AGM, catching up with your PNut mates and have a meal over a refreshments. Don’t forget<br />
our AGM is less mentally taxing than the Brownlow medal count and less expensive to frock up for than the Logies but<br />
no less important on the annual events calendar.<br />
President Marcus Kneebone
