Since my last report I have carried out Volunteer duties at Donnybrook Day Club on seven (7) occasions.
On the 17th July I attended a Victory In The Pacific meeting at Cabra-Vale Diggers and in the evening, together with John Rowe, acted as Returning Officer for Smithfield RSL Sub-Branch Darts Club.
On the 18th July accompanied by the Senior Vice President, John Rowe, I carried out an RSL Tribute Service at Drew Chapel, Castle Hill for a staunch Sub-Branch committee member, Bren Helson. It was pleasing to see a number of Sub-Branch members in attendance.
On the evening of the 21st July John Rowe and I attended the monthly Far Western Metropolitan District Council meeting at Rooty Hill RSL.
On the 31st July I attended the last Victory In The Pacific meeting at Cabra-Vale Diggers prior to the actual ceremony.
On the 4th August together with John Rowe, we cleaned out the Sub-Branch office and removed old files to our storage shed.
On the afternoon of the 5th August I accompanied Doug Clarke our delegate to Zone 2 Bowls, to a meeting at Windsor Bowling Club.
On the 9th August accompanied by Doug Clarke, Sub-Branch Secretary, I carried out an RSL tribute service for Sub-Branch member Douglas Watt, at Forest Lawn Cemetary.
On the 13th August I chaired the committee and general meetings of the Sub-Branch.
On the 14th August I attended the Victory In The Pacific ceremony in Cabramatta Park. This is a yearly ceremony sponsored by a number of RSL and local clubs. The ode this year was recited by Arthur Boyd from our Sub-Branch, however, the attendance from our Sub-Branch was minimal. Remember members our Sub-Branch is one of the sponsors.
On the afternoon of the 15th August accompanied by John Rowe, Doug Clarke and John Callcott, we attended the Victory In The Pacific Ceremony at the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway at Concord, amid a large attendance. A stirring speech was presented by Dr. Brendon Nelson, Director, Australian War Memorial.In the evening John Rowe and I attended the Long Tan Dinner at Rooty Hill RSL Club.
The Widow’s Luncheon was held on the 17th August in The Leo McCarthy Memorial Club, however due to the inclement weather only 32 of the 40 acceptances attended, eight last minute cancellations. Everybody attending was presented with a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates.
On the 18th August accompanied by John Rowe, Doug Clarke and Mitch Oddy, we attended the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Service at the RAE Memorial, Steele Barracks, Casula. There was a good attendance considering the inclement weather. The Guest of Honour being Sir Peter Cosgrove AK. MC. Australian Govenor General.
To all members who are in ill health, I wish them a speedy recovery.
