BALLARAT LUNCHEON 13TH SEPTEMBER 2012

A big thanks to the 61 members and partners who travelled to Ballarat for a wonderful day of feasting and catching up at the splendid George Hotel  in Lydiard Street Ballarat. The coolness of the weather  was more than compensated by the warmth of the staff, the company and excellent lunch and wines provided.

The Melbourne entourage travelled on the  “V”Line 10.07am from Southern Cross Station and enjoyed the beautiful country side to Ballarat arriving at 11.37am

It was most pleasing that twelve of our country members and partners joined in the festivities, namely: John and Nanette Calnin, Leigh Davis, Dennis Gerdtz, Peter Harney, Arnold Masters and Jan Masters, Barry and Shirley Reid, Noel Robertson, Roly and Joan Webster
The train travelers departed Ballarat at 3.08pm arriving Melbourne around 5.00pm

Apologies from:  Wendy Black, John Brown, Cedric Cocksedge, Col Edwards, Nola Forsyth, David Gibb, Ray Gill, Erica Hayden, John Hawkins, Ron Horne, Doug Imrie, Graeme King, Con LaFauci, Joan Nathan, Geoff Perdriau, Peter Saville, John Stevens, Eamon Veaney, Jackie Waite, Roger Watkins, Glenda White, Julie Wilkins, David Schunke, Herman Bettonvil, Alan Pearce, Peter Marriott
