SECRETARY’S REPORT
Happy New Year to you all and I
trust that you had a safe, happy and healthy
Festive Season.
What a great December Christmas Luncheon and
celebration we had on 14th December 2015.
Well done to the Luncheon Organisers, Verity
Moore and Anne Lukeman, Wilma Pontefract and
the Tee Vee Pee Band members and Margaret
Campbell and Entertainers, it was a fun day.
Thank you.
Annual Report
Thank you very much to all the people who have
already sent me your Annual reports, I really
appreciate your co-operation and promptness.
Activity leaders and Committee members, if you
have not already attended to your report for the
Annual Report, could you please send it to
secretary@templestowevalleyprobus.org.au
before January 29th 2016. The exception being
the Treasurer's report which cannot be sent until it
is completed after 31st January 2016.
Committee Nominations
As previously stated, most positions on the
Committee are up for re-nomination (apart from
those attached to the Presidency).
Nominations must be in by the end of the
Fellowship Break at 11am, February 8th 2016.
The forms are available on the website or at the
January 2016 meeting.
Nominations for Secretary and Assistant
Secretary are still required.
Maybe the position of Minutes Secretary would
suit you.
No other secretarial duties are attached to the
Minutes Secretary's job. Meaning that your only
duty would be to attend to the Minutes for the
Club and Committee Meetings each month.
Please contact Wendy Fishley or a Committee
member, if you are interested.
Best wishes for 2016
Libby Jones
A Special Thank You Graham's family would like to thank the many Probus members who sent or telephoned their condolences. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated by us. Jenny Morcom

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Welcome everyone to 2106 and hope your Christmas and New Year were wonderful and a special family time for you all.
What a great celebration was our Christmas lunch! Our thanks go to all involved especially the organisers, Verity and Anne and the fabulous Entertainers led by Margaret and Wilma. The band was great too, so thanks to Wilma, Ray and Graeme. We won’t forget our super MC John Reid, who kept us in line for the lunch and also our diligent drink waiters, George Thomas and his team. It was a really lovely day all round.
My hope for this year is that we all stay fit and healthy.
I hope also that we will get some good people putting up their hands to continue the roles of the members of the committee who are retiring. We have many talented people in our club who, I know, could do a great job, so please think about what you could do to contribute to the running of the club. We don’t want to founder, as many other clubs have done.
I look forward to participating in another enjoyable year in Probus and to seeing many of you at our January meeting. To those members on holiday, I wish them a safe journey and a Happy New Year and a memorable 2106 to you all. Wendy Fishley

A farmer was having his lunch on the front porch when a squawking hen dashed around the corner with a rooster in hot pursuit. As the chook dashed down the porch, a few crumbs of bread fell from the farmer’s sandwich and the rooster stopped to gobble them up while the hen got away. “Strewth!” exclaimed the farmer, “I hope I never get that hungry.”

HAPPY MEMORIES
My Mum used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread butter on bread on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning..
Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli.
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake or at the beach instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
We all took PE ..... and risked permanent injury with a pair of tennis shoes instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors that cost as much as a small car.
I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. We got the cane for doing something wrong at school, they used to call it discipline yet we all grew up to accept the rules and to honour and respect those older than us.
We had 30+ kids in our class and we all learned to read and write, do maths and spell almost all the words needed to write a grammatically correct letter....... FUNNY THAT!!
We all said prayers in school and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We also learnt our times table by reciting them every day. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.
I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations. We weren't!!
Oh yeah ... and where was the antibiotics and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!
We played “King of the Hill” on piles of gravel left on vacant building sites and when we got hurt, Mum pulled out the bottle of iodine and then we got our backside spanked.
Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10 day dose of antibiotics and then mom calls the lawyer to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.
To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family.
How could we possibly have known that?
We never needed to get into group therapy and/or anger management classes.
We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac!
How did we ever survive?
LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T, SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING!
MOVIE CLUB
Our last movie for the year is 'American Hustle' on Thursday, 19th December. Meet at 9.30am for 10am start. Please say Manningham Boomers Club to obtain your movie at a reduced price. Also get your parking ticket validated to enjoy the movie. Bring your Village movie card to be swiped and gain a free movie after 9 visits. After this screening at 12.30pm there will be a complimentary afternoon tea of scones with jam and cream to celebrate the previous 12 months of films and give feedback on the movies. Mystery Movies will commence again in January. Thank you to all the members who have supported
the Movie groups throughout the year.

HAROLD: A teacher.
The Secret of a Happy Marriage
My wife and I have the secret to making a marriage last. Twice a week we go to a restaurant, have a little wine, some good food and companionship. She goes Tuesday and I go Fridays.
We sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Sydney and mine is in Melbourne.
I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. “Somewhere I haven’t been for a long time” she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
We always hold hands if I let go she shops.
She has an electric blender, electric toaster, electric breadmaker, and now she said “Too many gadgets and no place to sit down”. So I bought her an electric chair.
Remember marriage is the number one cause for divorce. Statistically 100% of all divorces start with marriage.
I married Miss Right; I didn’t know that her first name was ‘always’.
The last fight was my fault. My wife asked “What’s on TV?” I said “Dust’.
In the beginning God created Earth and rested, then he created Man and rested. God then created Woman. Since then neither God nor Man has rested. (Cannot remember who gave me this for fill-in and whether it was male or a female with sense of humour – Ed)

Four Seasons on One Night is a celebration of the incredible music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and Bobby Fox’s firsthand insight into the world of this legendary man and his band. Handpicked for the Australian production of Jersey Boys by Frankie Valli himself and after three years and over 850 performances as Frankie Valli, Bobby returns to the stage to take you on his personal journey of the hit musical.

Please put your name down at our January meeting and pay at our February meeting. Tickets will be distributed at our March meeting.

TENNIS
As we have only been going for three months the only new member was Guy Tuddenham. He has played twice, Bob Anderson. Beverly Wignell, Pam Walker, & myself play most weeks ! Ray Walker played a couple of games not since his shoulder operation though the rest of our players are from outside our club, we won't be playing in January but resume again in February! We have been averaging about 6 - 7 players per week and getting a good game in. Please note there will be no tennis in January.

I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian .
A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.

The tea roster does not obligate anyone; it is just a guide to help
spread the load. Supplies are arranged. You need to be at the
hall at around 9.00am to set up and help serve during Fellowship
then clean up afterwards. Please bring two tea towels to dry the
dishes. There is an A4 sheet headed “Fellowship Tea Roster
Duties” in the box with the tea and coffee, explaining what has to
be done. If you are physically unable to carry out the roster
duties, please let us know and we will take your name off the list.
If you are unable to attend on your rostered day, please phone
Adrian or Anne.
