Hi All,
Lunch is on again next Wednesday 12 Oct at the RACV Club, Bistro, on the Ground Floor.
As usual, smart casual, good humour and tales of derring do prevail.
About $45 covers the lunch; main, coffee, wine and beer.
Can you please advise attendance by Monday evening, 10 Oct, so that I can firm up the booking and advice RACV of attendees.
Cheers
Brian

OTU Members,
I have just received the following email from The Duntroon Society:
———————————————————————
Dear Members,
We have just received news of Father John Tinkler. Although not a member of the Victoria Branch, he will be well known to many.
Father Tinkler collapsed and was in Echuca Hospital last week in a High Dependency ward. He had a pace maker fitted . He is now home but needs to rest and recover.
Father Tinkler does not have email, so if anyone feels like sending him a cheer-up message, the latest postal address I have for him is:
17 Francis Street, MOAMA NSW 2731.
Regards,
Konrad Ermert
Secretary
Duntroon Society Victoria
