Vice President Col Edwards welcomed 39 members and guest speaker Dr Robert Gribben to the 34th Floor 100 Queen Street for our October luncheon. The formal matters were dealt with by Secretary Peter Pritchard and those present then enjoyed catching up with colleagues. Members not seen for some time included Harry Carrodus, Rino Frigo, Serge McIntyre, Gordon Paulett, Geoff Perdriau and Doug Watson.

Once again the numbers attending were very low for a meeting in 100 Queen Street mainly due to the level of apologies received from members on the sick list or travelling interstate and overseas at this time of year. Committee members however would be interested in receiving ANZROC members’ feedback on the content of meetings, locations and what would make it more attractive for you to attend our Queen Street meetings.

BEREAVEMENTS

Field                            G.J. (Gordon)             2/1/0/2013       74 years

Gordon was a respected and supportive member of ANZROC Vic attending meetings when able. Gary Mason attended the funeral service and reported that Doug Watson read the eulogy. Amongst the bankers present were Graham Joseph, John Duke, Terry Brennan, Tom McCullough, Flav Belli and Alan Panther. Gordon retired as a Senior Manager in Audit, where he was involved in various overseas stints, including India. He was a lay member of the Anglican Synod for many years. Gordon was very well qualified as a Chartered Accountant and the Institute of Secretaries.

He underwent a full heart transplant 12 years ago at the Alfred Hospital and in appreciation of that spent every Wednesday (following his recovery) as a volunteer at the Hospital.

He and wife Edith travelled extensively.

ANZROC member Peter Smith emailed that his wife (Vi) volunteers at The Alfred, helping out with finances. She is actually doing the work that Gordon Field did before he became ill.

Members stood for a few moments in respect of our late member Gordon and our condolences are extended to his family and friends.

 

John Vanselow has been advised that Robert (Bob) Medhurst passed away in September. Bob was a family friend over 40 years since he visited here from London Office in 1970 and they had maintained contact over the year’s .John last spoke to him in April as their birthdays are on the same date. Bob would be known to ANZ International and other officers who worked at and visited London Office in the period up to Bob's retirement in the 1980's. Over latter years Bob has struggled with ill health and passed away aged 91.

 

 

NOT SO WELL

Pat Gaskin reporting from Bendigo says Ian Bell is home recuperating after  undergoing  surgery in mid September  and he still has to have continued treatment for some time to come. Ian would welcome calls from his friends and colleagues from ANZROC.

Brian Christensen reported that John Duguid was in hospital with pneumonia.

Recently in our newsletter we noted that Ed Knight was not well and subsequently our member Tom Phillips recently went to visit Ed at the Kingston Centre Rehab unit so if anyone would like to contact Ed please ring Tom on 9802 7821. Our member Ted Palmer co-ordinates a bi-monthly lunch of around a dozen ANZers of which Ed has been a regular. Ted has visited Ed a few times, he lives within walking distance and can be contacted on 9570 2269 if members want to see Ed. Ted has noted Ed's voice improvement.

GUEST SPEAKER

Our guest speaker Dr. Robert W. Gribben BA (Melb), MA (Cantab), M. Theol (Melbourne College of Divinity), DD, Professor Emeritus Melbourne University, Fellow of Queen’s College. Robert is regarded as a leading Theologian, liturgist and ecumenist in Australia and spoke to members on the subject  “Changing Trends in Christianity in 2013 ” .It was an enlightening discussion on the movement of Christianity  both Protestant and Catholic faiths from its centre in Northern Europe in 1900 with countries across  Europe and UK facing reducing congregations today, the growth of Christianity in  the Americas in the 1930/50s and more recently tremendous  expansion of Christian beliefs into the emerging powerhouses of China, Korea and Africa and the potential for huge growth in India. The decline of congregations of the traditional faiths compared to the growth of churches such as Hillsong and Crossways in Australia was also debated.

The presentation was well received by members and the many questions raised were dealt with ably by our guest speaker.

The ANZ archives (Safer than Fort Knox) were delighted to receive Charles Rennie memorabilia and history re his time at the helm

 

CHRISTMAS GET TOGETHER (Sunday 17th November any time after 11.30am)

For several years a group of past ANZ basketballers, tennis players, ANZ retired staff and friends have gathered in November to celebrate the festive season. It is so difficult to keep in touch with everyone individually and this function provides an easy avenue of doing so (Non Bank friends, children, relatives, in fact anyone is most welcome).The picnic/BBQ is held from 11.30am onwards alongside the Yarra River at the end of Boathouse Road which runs off Yarra Boulevard (Located next to the Studley Park Boathouse Café in Kew.)

 

The setting along the river bank is beautiful and the BBQ area and BBQ facilities spotless and adequate. We endeavour to claim one of the shelters closest to the Boat House Cafe (50 metres from the car park heading towards the river and boat house). There is cover from the sun (and rain) for a group of around 40 or so, as well as some tables and benches. Would be advisable however to have a chair or two in your car, in case we are not successful with our “land claim” where the shelter is erected, or our turn up is larger than anticipated. The Boat House Car Park can be busy and I think a sign in, or near, the car park indicates that parking is allowed on one side of nearby Yarra Boulevard

There is no need to confirm as we all just turn up on the day any time after 11.30am with either food for the park BBQ’s or a picnic lunch

The location can be found at Melways "Map2D E8".

 

LETTERS

Graeme Ainscough sends his thanks for the card on his 77th birthday. He spent his birthday in hospital with heart trouble which resulted in a stent being inserted. He now has to take time off from his Baseball commitments to recover fully but he is still taking a great deal of interest in the forthcoming Summer Season and his club Cheltenham’s quest for the elusive Summer Pennant. Regrettably their A team lost their semi final in the winter season and will miss the grand final for the first time in 6 years which disappointed Graeme.

Dave Brookman writing from Dromana expressed his thanks for the birthday card received right on the dot and appreciated Kathy Trace’s added remarks to mark the occasion. Dave’s 90th was celebrated at a lunch with family and friends. At present his health is good but mobility is fairly restricted.

Valda Clarke wrote to thank the Club for her birthday card which arrived on time.

Phil Dunstan emails that is again it is great to receive the Newsletter with the updates on Retired Officers' various activities. Phil’s Birthday Card, which is always very much appreciated, arrived spot on the due date. Phil’s life continues to be quite busy with being Treasurer of both the Waverley Woodworkers and the Mercedes Benz Club Vic. This year has also seen a two month trip in his wife Gwen's Toyota HiAce Pop-top Camper Van when they did 15,500kms up through Alice Springs, Katherine, up to Wyndham, down the West Coast and across the Nullabor. Many very enjoyable experiences were had with the likes of Katherine Gorge, Geikie Gorge at Fitzroy Crossing, staying overnight at Mooka Station (2hrs east of Carnarvon), seeing the very significant developments in the Headland Region, and being amazed at the house rentals being asked (minimum $1,400 per week for a very basic home, to $3,500 p.w. for a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home). Snorkelling at Coral Bay amongst the vast array of very wide ranging sizes and colours of fish was quite an experience.

The coastline around Kalbarri is stunning, and Natures Window and Z Bend which are about 25km of extremely corrugated road inland from Kalbarri were really beautiful. Gwen, being vitally interested in Gemmology collected some 90kg of rocks on the trip and had another 190 kg transported back by truck. Phil’s exotic desert timber collections were of significantly lesser weight although it probably occupied more space. Sandalwood, mulga, minirichi, root burls, and many other species have provided him with more than enough to keep him busy. Regular daily bike rides ensure that his fitness is maintained, although it takes a bit of mind over matter on very cold days. Car Club activities have included a rally of 58 "Pagoda" Mercedes to Canberra as part of the centenary celebrations, the annual Concours event in March, and a visit to Canberra for the MBClubACT Concours event in mid September. Life is good and it is great to hear of the many good stories of others with whom he has had the pleasure to work, albeit quite a long time ago!

Warwick Etty writing from Healesville sends his thanks for the birthday card, on time as usual, which was much appreciated .Warwick enjoys the contact via the newsletters and all the news from the members about their escapades.

Ken Fitzgerald writes his thanks for the greetings for his 85th birthday. Ken’s family has increased again with the birth of two further great grand children taking the total to 6.Ken’s only travels this year was a trip to Gympie (Qsld) in March with a family friend. Ken had hoped to visit David and Ann Patterson at Hervey Bay but they were away tavelling. On the return trip they went further west to Eulo to visit the friend’s eldest daughter who lives on a 3000 acre property largely raising goats. Ken hopes to go on another Veterans’ Cricket tour to South Africa next year.

Jack Helisma writes to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday wishes received on the day.

June Hoskin sends her thanks for once again remembering her recent birthday which she enjoyed with a family luncheon. The Club’s thoughtfulness in sending the card was very much appreciated and she wishes ANZROC continued success.

Ian Ince sends his thanks to Kathy for the birthday card for the big day. Ian had a quite day with a meal at a local restaurant with wife June. However there were family celebrations the Sunday before and another gathering the following Saturday at a restaurant. His health continues to be okay, enabling Ian and Jean to have two most enjoyable holiday breaks at Rosebud and Yarrawonga in the autumn and spring.

Larry James emails his thanks to Kathy for the birthday card which was appreciated. It has been a busy time for Larry with Seniors’ Week. His role at Golden Days Radio was full on as they are a media partner for the festival. So he has  been very busy at firstly Government House for the announcement of Senior of the Year, then the opening at Federation Square and then the lower Melbourne Hub for the week handing out brochures etc together with other volunteers.

Larry is about to go on holidays to Adelaide and Perth on the Overland and Indian Pacific. He is looking forward to that and a break. Larry believes the Indian Pacific is a little faster than Puffing Billy where he is an active volunteer!!

Bruce Kells sends his thanks to Kathy Trace for her birthday greetings which he appreciated. He recalls looking forward to becoming an honorary member last year and another year has passed already. Bruce intends to catch up with members at the Christmas luncheon.

Vito Laruccia emailed his appreciation for the birthday greetings he received from Kathy Trace.

Mike Lawrence writes that he is still playing golf with Bernie King and Frank Bain and they enjoy the odd lunch. It’s great to receive the newsletter and hear about all those he worked with over the years.

Maria Malicse emailed her thanks for the Birthday card from Kathy that arrived right on the day. Maria said the card made the day a great one.

Fay McPherson sends her thanks to Kathy and all the committee for the Birthday Greetings. Fay had a most enjoyable day at a luncheon with friends on the day. The years are passing much too quickly now, and she is no longer counting!

Dick Milnthorpe emailing from UK says many thanks for the birthday greeting, always nice to hear from Down Under. Dick and wife Pat will have a pleasant family dinner to celebrate. Although they have now sold their house in Mornington Dick and Pat still intend to visit Melbourne in 2014 and will arrive on the Arcadia at the end of Feb.  They plan to stay at the RACV for ten days and catch up with old friends before flying to Auckland to catch the Queen Victoria for the trip back home.  He was disappointed to see the Kiwis were unsuccessful in their quest for the America’s Cup which Dick and Pat had been watching on TV in UK.

Jim Nicolson sends his thanks for the birthday greetings. Jim says that this year he will be absent from the Christmas lunch for the first time for many years as most of  Jim and wife Hilda’s   family are visiting the other half of their respective families for Christmas and this coincided with an attractive cruise ship offer which was accepted.  So, Jim and wife Hilda  are taking off  in October  and apart from a couple of weeks break in November will be out of the country until early January and he’ll  miss the outing which he  always enjoy immensely.

Peter Nyga reports that he had a most enjoyable and successful trip to the north – west of America. Along with a group of photographers, he travelled through five States: Utah, Idaho, Washington, Montana and Wyoming. Whilst there was beautiful scenery everywhere, the Rockies – Glacier, Yellowstone and Tetons National Parks were simply stunning. His camera had a good workout!

Peter O’Dwyer writing from Yarrawonga says thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday greetings. Peter and wife Joan are still enjoying the gardening and he has not given up trying to master the games of bowls and golf.

Alan Pearce emailed to say thank you for the birthday greetings which as usual arrived on the day. A big thank you to Kathy Trace for her sterling work in ensuring that these greetings always arrive on time. It is a magnificent effort on her part.

Dietmar Reichert emailing from Warranwood sends his thanks for the Birthday Card which got there again on time!!Life is still interesting and consists of assisting people who want to stop smoking etc via the process of Clinical Hypnosis. In addition there is interstate travel from time to time due to Birthdays of close relatives and, sadly, attending a funeral up north of his brother-in-law. Otherwise the 4 grandchildren keep Dietmar “active”.

Ron Smith emails his thanks for the birthday card, which arrived on schedule. The 26 years since his retirement from full time work, have disappeared very quickly. Thankfully, health is good and various activities keep him well occupied.

Ken Stapleton emails a thank you to Kathy Trace for the annual birthday card and best wishes.

It arrived on the due date as usual. As another year rolls past both Ken and wife Robyn are thankful for reasonable health. They have recently returned from four weeks in France, having spent some time in Paris then visited the many Battle sites from World War One and the Normandy Landing sites from WW2, Mont Saint Michel and the Loire Valley. They then enjoyed a cruise down the Rhone River before flying home from Nice. He hopes to catch up with colleagues at the Christmas Lunch.
