When we woke up in the morning and were confronted by pouring rain and atrocious weather, Ruth said I hope it all goes good today. We drove down from Newcastle and it poured all the way down until the end of the express way—as we got closer to the city the clouds parted and the sun came out! We had a wonderful turn-out with 27 in attendance. Unfortu nately, ten members of 1 HSB (included wives and friends) did not turn up, which was a bit sad because we were looking forward to greeting them again. Some welcome attendees were John Bevan (President of 1st Field Ambulance Association), Stuart and Sue Jones (Stu’ is also the Patron of 1st Field Ambulance Association), Brian Hogan (a 1960’s member—and all the way up from Longwarry in Victoria), Elizabeth Sheard and Tony and Julie Evans (Julie is Derek and Edna’s daughter, with her husband). We had the pleasure of Brian Hogan (a part-time Pastor) saying Grace and later, our com mit tee man, Warren Barnes, pro - posed the Loyal Toast. During the course of the meal, Warren placed a “Lucky Door Prize” with every attendee and later, Ruth gave everyone a small 2012 diary (with the compliments of our Association). Our President, Derek, thanked everyone for coming along and making the day a happy success. He read the APOLOGIES and reminded everyone of what had taken place with our Association during the year. He sends a special message to our sick members, especially, John Straskye and John de Witt. We finalised all our “Fund Raiser” raffles which included the Sudan Print Raffle and the yearly $1 raffle. Warren Barnes had presented our Association with two books to be given as a ‘Door Prize”. The first book was won by our President, Derek, and the second one by Robert Love. The $1 Raffle collected a total of $149 and the winner of 50% ($75) was Bill Rylands (who was present— he asked me to keep $25 to be used as a Donation to our Association.) The biggest shock came when the Sudan Print was drawn by Ann- Marie and checked by Brian Hogan and announced that I had won this wonderful, framed print.
