An enjoyable golf day attended by 20 golfers and 2 spectators. Great weather and good company. Thanks to Ken Pattison for organising the day and to Cheltenham Golf Club for their excellent facilities. The lunch was great value for $20 per head. Congratulations to John Inglis for winning the Men's Comp with 37 points and to Barb Weston winning the Ladies comp. jim Karabatsos won nearest the pin with Jan Walklate the nearest for the ladies. The next anzroc golf day will be at Torquay in March 2019.

We packed out the back room at Jokers with 51 members and partners attending our lunch. It was great to see a lot of attendees from the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Peninsula as well as the travellers from Melbourne who came by train and car.

Thanks to Joan Nathan who took all the bookings and organised reserved seats on the train.

The venue handled the meals very well and overall it was a very smooth operation.

It looked like everyone had a good time and enjoyed catching up with colleagues some of whom hadn't been seen for a while.

From John Brown - ANZROC Membership Officer

Jan and I were very sorry to hear that Bob Stone had passed away as we both worked with Bob at 351 Collins St branch in the early 1960s. This photo of branch staff, messengers, drivers and cleaners was taken around 1961. Bob is the one with the little forelock third row from the top, almost directly under the clock.

Our ANZROC member Barry Reid received a phone call from Bob Stone’s daughter Leanne informing him that sadly her Dad aged 84 years had passed away peacefully in his sleep early on Friday morning 7/9/2018.

Bob’s funeral service is to be held in the chapel of William Sheahan Funerals, in High Street, Drysdale, on next Wednesday, being the 12th of September,2018 at 11 A.M.

Our condolences are extended to Bob's family
