BIRDIES TWITTER

What a sad month we have experienced with the news that six of our oldest ANZROC members have passed away.

The most recent passing was that of Eric Black 94 years, on Thursday 9th August. I have so many fond memories of playing football with ANZ Football Club during Eric’s reign as President from 1962 to 1964 and the support and friendship over the years to follow

We also regret to advise the passing of John Duggan 105 years,Les Whitney 105 years, Harold Woolcock 90 years, Lindsay Cayzer 90years and John Holberton 89 years.

Our second oldest member Charles Rennie and wife Joy braved the cold weather to attend John Holberton’s funeral at the Holy Trinity Church Kew. This beautiful Church provided a fitting backdrop to this sad occasion with the interior boasting magnificent stained glass windows and wooden vaulted ceiling.

As expected the church was filled, with approx 300 family, friends and fellow ANZROC members

Our oldest member (and only member presently over 100 years old) is Bob Nichol. When I visited Bob at 40 Dorking Road Hostel Box Hill last week I am pleased to say that Bob is still going strong.

I visited Brian Murdoch who is recovering well from major surgery. He is making a good recovery and is now out of hospital

Spent a most enjoyable time at Broughton Lee Village Surrey Hills last week visiting Ron Cashin and enjoyed a great cappuccino and chat. We finished up singing a medley of old, (correction ancient tunes) from the past, much to the enjoyment!! of the other residents who joined in the chorus

Our Treasurer John Brown is currently enjoying warm weather up north for a couple of months. For those who know John’s wife Jan, I am pleased to advise that Jan is recovering well from recent spinal surgery and able to enjoy the warm weather up north with John

I must say that I have found it both pleasurable and rewarding to visit, as time permits, some of our not so well members, who are unable to attend our monthly meetings. They do enjoy it when old work mates drop in for a chat and it is something I would encourage

 

GUEST SPEAKER

We were fortunate to have Roger Canty as our guest speaker. Roger has been a member of the Melbourne Cricket Club for 30 years and a MCC Tour Guide for the past 22 years so he should know a lot about the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Roger is a long suffering Bulldog supporter and has worked as a volunteer for the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and the FINA World Swimming Championships in 2007.

Roger was well placed to talk about his subject: “MCG, the famous events and people associated with the ground”. He gave a interesting and witty talk and recounted many of the events associated with the ground

 

LETTERS

Ian Bell emailing from Bendigo says thank you again for the Birthday Wishes on his 70th. It is now 15 years since Ian retired and the time has flown quite quickly. Ian and wife Carmel had a cruise to New Zealand earlier this year and would recommend the experience to all. They hope to again hop on a ship in 2013 all being well. Next time they are looking at a cruise around Australia or the Islands.

Gordon Christensen emails many thanks once again to the club for card received on his birthday. Gordon and his wife recently returned from a week in Las Vegas followed by a cruise from New York to Alaska via the Panama Canal. Passing through the canal took 10 hours from arrival at 7.00am. The ship is towed through the two locks at each end of the canal by 8 locomotives with a clearance of only 60cms on each side of the ship. Gordon was told that it costs a large cruise ship around $450,000 U.S. dollars to use the canal for one crossing.

Rae Collins writes as always it’s great to hear from Kathy Trace on the date of his birthday. At 92 he is not too bad as he does plenty of walking on his new pusher of 5/6 miles each day. Rae still visits the East Malvern RSL regularly and often meets up with members Murray Wood and Neil Sharman. The other member of his group Wal McGillivray is in Queensland for the winter. Rae is still attending the senior members’ lunches at Kooyong Tennis Club where he feels he must have played a few thousand sets over the years. Rae has been retired since 1976 and has made good use of the time in the early years travelling extensively overseas. Now he likes to read of the exploits of the members of his old ANZ crew.

Neil Dawtrey e-mails his thanks to the club for unfailingly remembering his birthday and especially Kathy Trace. Coming to the meetings again several times this year has been very enjoyable after being on the long term injured list after falling off a ladder in October 2011,spending nearly six weeks in hospital and a rehab facility and  unable to get about very well for many months after that. Normal life has now resumed and travel can again be possible and the other things we all enjoy doing.

Ray Gill reports that he is unable to attend the August meeting as he is off to Cairns again for the second time in three months.

Geoff Harkin received the ANZROC birthday card for his birthday and the thought was appreciated. After taking a package in Sept 08, Geoff went back in July 10 as a temp for 23 months, working on the Landmark Integration project, where the Bank purchased the Landmark deposit and loan book from the Australian Wheat Board, He was the last temp off the project after 23 months when it was wrapped up on 30th May this year. It was a fantastic experience working with an amazing group of young people.

John Harris emails his thanks to Kathy and the Club for the good wishes for his birthday. John and wife Colleen are both well as is the family and they have just returned from their regular visit to their son, daughter in law and three grandchildren in London. A side trip to Provence entailed two weeks and just over 2,000 Km in a rented car exploring towns and villages with a couple of days in Dubai on the way home.  Support in London for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations was enthusiastic and John and Colleen enjoyed a great vantage point to watch the Procession down the Thames which proved remarkable with the 1,000 boats of all sizes and descriptions required to maintain 4 mph for 7 miles - quite an undertaking for some of the oarsmen. Their daughter, son in law and 2 further grandchildren in Melbourne provided a great welcome home

Terry Heenan emails thanks Kathy for the birthday card which again arrived on time. Terry had a wonderful 74th birthday with all the family present, including daughter Joanne who shares Terry’s birthday date, and on this occasion was half his age. Terry and wife Mary have 5 grandchildren now all under six years of age, which keeps them busy. They still live in Leopold and Terry keeps active by playing bowls and golf regularly.

John Hudgson emails that once again on the day his much appreciated card arrived. Thanks to Kathy and the committee for continuing this fabulous tradition. Another year in retirement and enjoying it immensely .John and wife Ann spent a wonderful week at Boambee Bay (just near Coff’s Harbour) early in the year and enjoyed the meandering drive home through NSW. They also spent a week travelling with the RACV “fly the Flag tour” in their  1971 Rambler Rebel this year travelling out through Hamilton to Mount Gambier and back through the Western District via Ballarat – They have not ventured far since but seem to fill in the time very easily. Their daughter has just left on a 12 month overseas trip commencing through Asia and then onto British Isles and Europe so John and Ann have been involved in the preparation for her trip. Maybe they will have some news on their own travels next year. They both love getting the ANZROC newsletter which helps them keep up with ANZ colleagues and they are looking forward to joining members at the Ballarat luncheon

Doug Imrie emails that it is great to be able to keep up to date with what’s going on via the newsletters while they are travelling through Queensland. He and wife Trish intended to be home by September but had an incident with the caravan. They exited Wyangla Dam National Park via covered exit with “2 metre clearance”. Doug’s van is less than 2 metres high, but the air conditioner is higher. Suffice to say, they now have a six week stop in Cairns awaiting repairs to damaged roof.

Bill Jackson emails his appreciation to Kathy for the timely arrival of the ANZROC birthday card for his 70th. Celebration was to be a simple dinner with close family. Bill was ambushed and conned as it turned out to be a well concealed and planned surprise party luncheon at the local RSL with family, past and present neighbours plus long time friends which included Brian and Noelle Christensen and Neville (Birdie) and Cheryl Pearson. It was a real surprise and wonderful to have all those there share this special milestone with him. Also thanks to those that rang and wished Bill a Happy Birthday.

Alwynne Kilpatrick writing on his 88th says thanks to those responsible for the birthday wishes over the years. We know that all members appreciate the receipt of their cards. Alwynne retired in 1984 at the ripe old age of 60 and now at 88 is not doing too badly. It is always nice to read of the doings of members in the newsletter.

Serge McIntyre writes to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday wishes for his 75th birthday which was celebrated with his family.

Godfrey Mills emails thanks for the card. A few things to report e.g. Lapidary activities still going well and Faceting Course was a great success. Godfrey and wife Nancy are about to head overseas with their two youngest daughters [both ex ANZ Staffers]. They will all be staying for a while at a mutual friend's place just south of Florence in Italy. Then it’s off to Paris, after which Nancy, Godfrey and middle daughter [Jenny] head off to Nancy's birthplace just outside Edinburgh. That completed they head back to London for a few days and then back home via Singapore. Meantime, young Jane leaves them and returns to Italy and then heads to Turkey with her three kids while husband [Darren] goes off to compete in the Berlin Marathon. He should do well and is looking for a top 125/150 finish. About 45,000 are likely to start. He can run circa 2hrs 39 mins plus for the 42.4 kms which makes him probably the top Marathon runner in Victoria in the 40 to 45 age group.

Kevin O'Neil writes thanks for the birthday wishes on the occasion of his 75th birthday

Trevor Richards emails his thanks to Kathy Trace for the Birthday Card on the occasion of his 67th birthday. Trevor is gearing up for his annual trip to Port Douglas via Townsville to attend a wedding. Two weeks of winter sunshine and warmth.

Joe Romano emails his thanks for the birthday card which arrived as usual on the same day as the birthday. Joe will be going to Qsld for a few days just to get away from the cold weather. He needs to keep the trip short as he wants to assist his brother and sister to look after their elderly parents.

Bernie Sowersby writing on his 82nd sends his thanks to Kathy Trace for the good wishes he received in his birthday card that arrived on the day.

Lyn Stevens who has been responsible for the great luncheons we have enjoyed in March at the Maroondah Club for the past three years sends her thanks for the birthday wishes albeit belatedly she says as she hasn’t the time to keep up with her chores.

Neil Sharman sends his sincere thanks for the birthday wishes he received for his 76th birthday. Neil says it’s always a particular pleasure to receive a birthday card from our Retired Officers Club.

Keith Taylor writing on his 84th says thanks for the best wishes for my birthday and he enjoys the newsletters reading of the club’s and members’ activities.

Jim Trimble writing on his 84th says many thanks for the annual birthday greetings and to Kathy for the wonderful job in sending out greetings to arrive on the day. Its 24 years since Jim retired and he often thinks of the last years of his career spent at the Safe Deposit at 351 Collins Street which has since closed and transferred back to 388 Collins Street.

John Turnbull says thanks for the birthday card and he has only 10 years to go before becoming an Honorary Member.
