From The President

Chers Amis

Spring has sprung and there has been a vast change in daytime temperatures and the look of our vegie gardens since our last edition of La Mouette. I hope that you are all looking forward to a relaxing summer break with family and friends.

The main items of news this edition are, firstly, the lunch with a French food flavour to be held at the Tura Beach Country Club on 19 October. Please save this date in your calendars and read more important information about it in Mike Warren’s article later in this edition. This will be our last function for the year before our Great-End-Of-Year-Coupe-d’Antibes and Christmas Party, details of which will be published over the next month or so.

Secondly, we take pleasure in announcing the appointment to the Committee of Anh-Thu Stuart who will be our Librarian. Anh-Thu’s appointment will relieve Kerry Hunting of the responsibility of being the only woman’s voice on the Committee and will bring new ideas to our work from her home in Bermagui.

Amities,

Robert McCombie
