Good Evening all
Members are reminded of the Annual Dinner programmed for the 12 Oct 18.
The RSVPs to date are such that it will likely need to be cancelled due to the low numbers.
Could I please encourage you to look at your diaries and attend this very worthwhile function in the premier Officers Mess of Australia and book in as soon as you are able – the details are repeated below for your convenience. Opportunities do not present themselves like this often.
For your action please.
