Perry, Gladstone Harbour and the introduction<br />
of a Melbourne Cup Sweep. The poker run<br />

on the night. Many thanks to Gloria Clamp on<br />
her efforts throughout the year.<br />
David Miles was invited to address the<br />
members bringing us all up to date what has<br />
been happening at the head office and a brief<br />
outline on what was on the drawing board for<br />
all chapters that will hopefully see all chapters<br />
come together in <strong>2016</strong>. David invited us all<br />
to approach him with any ideas that they may<br />
have for this exciting intended project.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> tour calendar that the drive committee had<br />
drawn up giving a brief explanation on each<br />
monthly event that comprises of a number of<br />
new adventures and also advising everyone<br />
that at this point of time it was not set in<br />
concrete as we have to take in account what<br />
David Miles has in mind.<br />
