Scribe for Wednesday 31 October 2012

The official Fashion in the Field has nothing on RCBN members and partners. What a comely lot - except perhaps that rather portly bookie...

As Chairman Geoff pointed out, our Club is doing a great deal of service work in our community and abroad. While enjoying hearing about all that is going on your Scribe thought the reports would never end.So what was there of importance to all members and friends?

We were reminded of those great Tibetan calendars Don sold us last year. He has more for 2013. Contact Don at cullen.don@gmail.com to support our Tibetan project.

Unfortunately because the recipient has disappeared our Caroline Chisholm Scholarship for this year has been rescinded.

We have two TAC breathalysers approved. Any ideas on where they should be installed to help the community and our project funds?

Richard was very impressed with the Sabu islanders and the water project

Christina is pleaImagesed that our reading in schools project has begun so well.

Phil reminded us of the vocational trip to the Shrine of Remembrance on Wednesday 28 November.

There is an iphone app for the Entertainment Book - make the most out of your investment.

Darryl Williams raised $32,000 - a grand achievement.

Susie Dukes rated a mention too.

The Gardenvale Freemasons have added $10,000 to the original Freemasons' contribution to the Family Life truck.

The fashions were great.

Peter entertained us with horsey history and blood lines - from the Irish Cup in 1727 to the Melbourne Cup in 2012. Snippets included the IRA kidnapping the 1981 winner of the Irish Cup, Shergar who was never seen again; the casual fashions in Ireland; a teaser about which barrier draws in Melbourne have never won a cup (sorry you had to be there to get the good oil); the progeny of Galileo who may well surprise in this year's Cup.

The sergeants managed a reasonable $75.00
