At the last AGM Graeme Cruttenden asked if the RCOA’s investment Account could earn any
better interest. Hazel & I have since discussed this with the Bendigo Bank and have updated the
RCOA bank accounts.
The investment Account has been changed to one that earns interest calculated and allocated
monthly and our working account has been changed to one that now has a Debit card attached.
This makes it much more convenient than the previous outdated cheque book! The new everyday
account details are below and recorded on membership application/renewal page
Bendigo Bank BSB 633-000 Acct No: 160404489 Acct Name: RCOA of WA

Last but not Least
DUTY FREED- It was decided at a recent committee meeting, that in an attempt to reduce the workload
by some of the committee members (printing, folding, sticking, stamping and posting) that “Duty
Freed’s” would no longer be posted to Members who have an email address unless they have a valid
reason. This will also reduce our postage cost every two months and allow our very reasonable $10 a
year membership to continue for many years to come.
Email Address—Likewise any of you who have an email address and are receiving Duty Freed by snail
mail could you please forward it to the secretary (see above comment). This will also allow us to keep
you informed of news in a more timely manner. We often get advice of members passing or notice of
funerals etc and would like to pass the information on immediately by email, to wait for the next issue
of Duty Freed could be too late
Payments—Don’t forget, that if you choose, you can pay electronically via the internet or any branch of
Bendigo Bank. Please ensure your name is on the transaction for us to identify payment. Paying for
more than one year at a time will delay the hassle of paying next time.
If undelivered return to Secretary RCOA 78 Arundel Drive WELLARD WA 6170
