PRESIDENTS PEN

Hello all,

Having returned from two months away in Brisbane then California, Canada and Alaska I had to face the cold and rain of Melbourne. Despite this it is good to be back on home soil.

Our Geelong lunch meeting on 13 October 2016 was well attended with over 50 present. It was good to see a number of locals in attendance. The venue, food and company were excellent, and all had a good time.

The year is fast coming to a close. Our final meeting for 2016 is the AGM to be held TUESDAY 8th November 2016 at 833 Collins Street, Docklands. Note the change of date and venue. I hope to see as many as possible attending. The numbers are restricted to 60 so get in early and book your attendance. If you would like to nominate for a committee position, the details are in the newsletter.

Finally, our Christmas Luncheon on 8 December 2016 commencing 11.30 am at the Pavilion, Victorian Arts Centre St Kilda Road Melbourne. Full details are in the newsletter including how to book. A special invitation is extended to our newer members to attend this luncheon. You won’t be disappointed. Please ensure that you book early as we are restricted to a maximum of 300.

This will be my final Presidents Pen. My term as President concludes at the AGM. It has been an honour and privilege over the past two years to have the opportunity to serve. I particularly wish to thank our hard working committee for making the task so much easier.

Hope to see you soon at one of our functions. Cheers.

BEREAVEMENTS

Thomas W.G. (Warren) 20/6/2016 64 years

Warren joined ES&A Balwyn at the age of 16 and at the merger moved to Glen Waverley. He was drafted into the Army during the closing stages of the Vietnam War but the end came before he had to join the forces in Vietnam. After serving in branches Warren transferred to Travel for the next 10 years and was then appointed as Manager Moorabbin East leaving ANZ after 30 years. Warren then spent time employed in the building industry and Australia Post until retirement. Warren was a very keen follower of AFL Club St Kilda and was sent a Certificate acknowledging 51 years of Club membership which unfortunately arrived shortly after his passing.

Don Davy wrote to say that Lawrie Foord was a wonderful help to Don, Dick Barry, Ian Davies, the late John Duke, John Crough and Geoff Ridgway when they were actively involved in the rationalisation of ANZ branches in Collins Street and the establishment of the ANZ building at 55 Collins Street in the late 70’s. At the time Lawrie was in charge of the very large Ledger Department at 388 Collins Street when the businesses of 394 Collins Street and Stock Exchange Branch (351 Collins Street) were integrated into the Gothic Bank at 388 Collins Street. Lawrie was outstandingly helpful with the merger of the Ledger Department functions and the associated complexities of merging large corporate files.

Ray Gill emailed to say he was very sorry to hear about Lawrie Foord he was a former Brother in Law of ANZROC member Bernie Atkinson.

RECOLLECTIONS OF FUN TIMES IN THE BANK

Another story from our ANZROC members about their amusing experiences in ANZ :

VAL GOLDSWORTHY

The manager of a Scottie branch in Gippsland fired up his small boat one Sunday with the happy purpose of a day’s fishing. At day’s end the manager was unable to “inspire” the engine to turn over, thus he spent the night on the water. The following morning the accountant opened the branch doors and retrieved other keys from the other banks in town allowing the strong room to be opened and the day’s trading to begin. Following regulations the accountant telephoned Melbourne Head Office and reported the Manager’s absence. Later in the morning the manager was able to reach the shore safely. He telephoned Melbourne H.O. and was advised the Chief Inspectors Department required a full report of the incident a.s.a.p. The manager dispatched the report as requested. A reply from Melbourne H O acknowledged receipt of the report but requested more information. The manager somehow obliged with minor details. Another request arrived from HO asking for further information. The manager’s response brought closure to this matter by writing something like “Dear Sir, regarding your letter of the….ult, as far as I know only one Man has ever walked on water. Yours ….”

BIRDIE'S TWITTER

One of our newer members Mike Aranha talking with an old cricket team member from yesteryear, felt it might be plausible to organize a reunion in 2017 of ex Zedders that played in the various sporting teams. ANZ had a proud tradition, in their sporting prowess, with a number of die-hards participating in several sports, via the sponsorship from HQ/Social club and the unforgettable Wagga Weekends. At one stage there were 49 teams, playing for the Zedders in basketball and netball, tournaments, in Metro Melbourne every week. Other sports were rowing, squash, soccer, indoor cricket, boat racing, indoor bowls, lawn bowls at Wagga Wagga.

Neville “Birdie” Pearson agreed it would be wonderful to get a group of the past players of the different sports together .Neville with Brian Christensen, Bill Jackson and others have the support of Albert Park Football Club with whom ANZ Football club merged some years ago and run a past players day of the ANZ Football club each year. Around 20 to 30 attend the reunion. Neville played competition for the ANZ FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, TENNIS, BADMINTON AND SQUASH teams. He was fortunate enough to play in a winning grand Final team in each of the sports. Neville also rowed for ANZ in the annual interbank carnival on the Yarra without success and was a member of the committee/president of some of the clubs.

To gauge the level of interest of members who would like to be involved in the planning of such a reunion contact Mike or Neville on This email address is being protected from spambots.

LETTERS

Graeme Ainscough wrote to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday wishes he received for his 80th birthday. Graeme’s wife June and daughter Carol planned to hold the celebrations on the day of the AFL bye during the football finals and 30 friends and family from Melbourne, country and interstate turned up in fancy dress. It was a great day. June and Graeme then hosted a family dinner for 8 at Bentleigh RSL the sponsors of his beloved Cheltenham Baseball team. Not a good year for the A team however missing the finals for the first time since 2013 although 4 key younger players headed off to USA mid season.

Mike Aranha emailed to report that his birthday card arrived on 26th September , after a long journey, firstly postmarked 18th Sept, followed by a postmark on the back of the envelope dated 21st Sept (his birthday) , in FINLEY, NSW ! There is no doubt Kathy Trace is not at fault. Mike has asked AUS-POST to TRACE the reason for their tardiness. Thanks to Kathy and ANZROC community for the kind thoughts.

Dave Brookman writing from Mornington said he would like to express his appreciation for the Happy Birthday card recently received. He thanked Kathy Trace for her splendid efforts in maintaining records and dispatching cards to reach their destinations on time. Dave’s 93rd birthday was celebrated amongst family and friends with the appropriate refreshments.

Muriel Drummond wrote to thank Kathy Trace and the ANZROC committee for special birthday greetings which were much appreciated. Looking back over the years it is hard to believe that Muriel joined the Bank of Australasia in wartime and was lucky enough to work in the CEO’s office until she retired- starting with A.R.L. Wiltshire. Muriel saw many changes. So many familiar names in the June newsletter and she sends her regards to all.

Ken Fitzgerald wrote to thank Kathy Trace for the kind birthday wishes he received for his 88th birthday. The new card is bright and impressive. Ken says the greetings and wishes are always uplifting as is the monthly newsletter. Things have been fairly quiet over the past 12 months although he reported that a further two great grand children have been added to the Fitzgerald clan. That makes 8 now but only 2 Fitzgerald boys to keep the line going. Ken hopes to catch up with friends and colleagues at the Christmas lunch as he missed the lunch last year.

Teresa Goldsbrough emailed to say she would be returning from Adelaide on the day of the October meeting after visiting her aged mother and attending the ES&A reunion luncheon in Adelaide on 12 Oct. There will be some folk there who she has not seen for some 40+ years. Having a look at the suggested 2017 program Teresa believes it is a good mix of city, suburban venues and understands that the cost of city venues is becoming prohibitive. Thank you for the work the committee put into this club for all our benefit. Stan Halbish wrote to thank Kathy Trace and the Committee for the best wishes he received for his recent birthday.

Frank Hatfield emailed that with Western Bulldogs premiership win they are calling Robert Murphy "the unluckiest man in football". The same could be said about his great friend and ANZROC member Roy Harper. Roy played football for Footscray in the early '50s after transferring from Sandringham. He had a knee injury that kept him out of Footscray's 1954 premiership team. The full story of Roy can be found on the web site www.theNewDaily under their "sport" heading.

Louis Hebrard emailed to thank the Committee for the birthday card. Celebrations started with a great breakfast in beautiful Guernsey. Louis and wife Ann then caught the ferry to Saint Malo, France, where Ann had ordered a special 7 course dinner. It was a very memorable day.

There are more celebrations lined up for his 70th and Louis is looking forward to it all.

Life is good and fortunately he is keeping well.

Lindsay Iliff one of our newest members reports that he likes the ANZROC Newsletter, with some good reading and believe it or not he actually knew some of the folk mentioned in articles and photos. Also tells me he will be overseas travelling South America (Chile; Argentina; Brazil; Peru and Ecuador) and then onto Cuba during the October and November meeting dates.

Larry James emailed his thanks for the birthday card which continues to arrive on time. What a splendid card we get now. Larry’s day was spent opening up ballot papers for one of the voluntary organisations that he works for and after 3 hours it was time for lunch – and a glass of red. This year he spent a holiday in USA riding steam trains and visiting a number of the film studios in Hollywood. Such a great place but it was very hot and also in the midst of the election process. You couldn’t escape it as the various launch nights were covered by up to 8 TV stations on the night. Golden Days Community Radio still keeps Larry very busy and out of trouble and this year he has become more involved with the Theatre Organ Society of Victoria on their concert committee. There’s never a dull moment.

Carol Jukes emailed her thanks to Kathy Trace for her birthday card. Carol had a lovely day celebrating her birthday and another friend’s birthday at “Gingerboy” in the city with some of their friends. Food was delicious and the staff even put candles in their sweets so that they could sing Happy Birthday.

Bruce Kells emailed thanks again for the timely birthday wishes from Kathy Trace on behalf of ANZROC. The day was celebrated quietly with family as it was not a "Special" birthday. Life continues much the same as usual but age seems to be now recognized. Bruce has just relinquished a treasurer’s position, as exANZers seem to get, after 16 years service and his term as secretary of their Owners Corporation ends after 5 years at the next AGM in late October. Bruce continues to be involved on ANZROC meeting days so is looking forward to the Xmas breakup. Thank you so much for the Birthday wishes once again, and he hopes they continue for many years to come.

Ian McRobinson emailed to thank Kathy Trace and President Peter and other committee members for the good wishes received on the occasion of his recent birthday. As mentioned by other retired officers’ receipt of the Card is most welcome as are the good wishes and thoughts that accompany it. The new card design is also a winner. Ian enjoys receiving the News Letter and catching up on the news from other retired former work colleagues. Ian’s major news item for the year is that wife Mel had a heart attack earlier this year whilst Ian was at a night football match. Fortunately she was able to contact other family members who quickly organised an ambulance. The ambos were wonderful, providing immediate medical attention ahead of transporting Mel to Cabrini Hospital where a team had been assembled to commence surgery and heart repair. Thankfully all went well and Mel is now home and on the road to recovery although there is still some residual damage/artery issue which may require further attention. They are full of praise for the medical and nursing staff at Cabrini and believe if anyone has a heart issue that Cabrini is the place to go for assistance.

Maggie Murray writing from Mortlake sent her thanks to Kathy Trace for her birthday card which arrived on time as always.

Jill Paterson emailed to thank Kathy Trace for the very modern birthday card. Jill is not counting them any more. It was so sad to learn of Lawrie Foord’s death. They had some happy memories of times in Ledger Contact at 388 Collins Street which Jill will always remember. Those were the days!

Alan Pearce emailed to extend his thanks to Kathy Trace for her great efforts in handling the birthday greetings to members, and the ANZROC members for their birthday wishes again this year. Kathy does a sterling job and her efforts are greatly appreciate Unfortunately on this occasion, no doubt due to the “the efforts put into improvements to AusPost profits this year”, (as those improvements did not extend to their service), the poor “delivery system” fell apart or our mail contractor went to sleep, and the card did not arrive until some six days after the event. Still better late than never! The huge increase in costs that AusPost placed on its customers in July has done nothing to improve its service, which if anything has gone from bad to worse in a few months. A good lesson in how not to do things!

Bevan Roulston emailed his thanks to Kathy for the birthday card and the Committee for their good work. About to travel to NZ for the eleventh time to visit family including grandchildren.

Peter Russell mailed to convey his thanks to the Committee for their best wishes on Peter’s 80th birthday. He would like to know what special contact Kathy Trace has with Aust. Post to be able to receive cards on the exact day. Peter’s 80th birthday was celebrated with family and many cards received from old friends, both inside and outside the Bank. Life seems to be as busy as ever, he continues to be involved in many activities including Bowls, the RSL, the Royal Naval Association, Probus and a big commitment to the Melbourne Welsh Male Choir! (Yes it is strange for a “Cockney” Londoner to be accepted by the Welsh!) Peter sends best wishes to all of his colleagues in ANZROC and looks forward to catching up with many of them at functions during the year.

Ken Stapleton emailed a note to express his appreciation for the birthday card which arrived nicely the day prior to Ken’s birthday. The occasion was spent with afternoon tea with his daughter and four of the grandchildren then to dinner with friends and a picture show at the Rivoli in Camberwell. The past year has definitely had less than 365 days in it as it has gone so quickly. No major trips this year just a few weeks away up north to warmer conditions. Still playing a bit of golf but not as much as Ken would like (lousy weather has played its part), not as well either (could getting older have something to do with it?). Both Ken and wife Robyn are keeping well (just as well as eight grandchildren keep you on the go). Good to hear about people's activities in the newsletters which he finds most enjoyable. On a sad note though is the number of former staff members known to Ken who have passed away over the 12 months. Some far too young. In this regard he mentions Peter Bromilow who passed away just a few weeks ago. Peter's father was a Manager in the ES&A and Peter followed him into the Bank. Peter resigned from the Bank a number of years ago and resided in Newcastle but some Retired Officers will no doubt remember him.

John Sudholz passes on his thanks to Kathy Trace and the ANZROC Committee for the recent birthday card. So far, 2016 has been another memorable year starting in January when John and wife Noelene undertook an amazing expedition to Antarctica, the Patagonian fjords, the Atacama Desert in northern Chile and the wine regions of Argentina. Then, in April, they took a cruise around Japan to enjoy the stunning cherry blossoms and some fascinating shore excursions.

John and Noelene now look forward to the end of the year and the wedding of one of their granddaughters.

Eamon Veaney emailed his thanks to Kathy Trace and the Committee for the birthday wishes. Eamon had a lovely lunch with partner Anne Wee at one of his favourite Italian restaurants when he was working at ANZ in Queen Street. “Caterina’s cucina e bar” is a timeless place with wonderful food and service.

MATTERS OF INTEREST

NEW MEMBERSHIP MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR ANZROC

From 1 October this year, the way in which ANZROC’s membership records and accounts are managed have changed, with a number of benefits for both members and elected office-bearers.

All records are being transferred to a secure, on-line database which provides many additional management and communication options, including the ability to individually invoice members when subscriptions fall due.

After 1 October this year, individual subscription invoices will be emailed/mailed to members advising the amount due and the preferred methods of payment. Some members are in advance with their subs payments, and they will receive a statement showing the amount that they are in credit. Honorary members (80+ years of age) and Life Members will not receive an Invoice or Statement.

Please do not make any subs payments until you receive your invoice, as the new system will not be running ‘live’ until October.
