MEETING PLACE. 147 Liver ,. ool Street HOBART.
GENERAL MEETING. Well chaps, this is the las-b Meeting for 19. 60, so roll
up an . lets have another record attehda-nce. The attendance at this
year's Meetings has bee1 ! very good, so once g;gain, make this a real
good'un. We-have not reached the "Standing Room Only" stage. This
Meeting will be held at the Club Rooms, 147 Liverpool Street on
December. 7 th, Wednesday,, at 2000 hrs. ALL WELCOME.
LECTURE. We will not be having a Lecture this month as is our
"usual practice, but ins:.;ea'd will be having an Auction of surplus
equipment; whioh -has been donated and the proceeds will be for the
Club ^TSHk Sax faz: gs Room Building Fund. So if you have not yet
had a scratch through t'he Junk Box for gear now surplus to your
req^uirements, do' so -now and bring it along to the Meeting for disposal,.
Also bring along some cash, remember t1p.at there will TDQ something there
that you will-need. and i-t is as good a time as any to give yourself a
Christiras present'.. 'Also the funds will l3e eventually in your own
pocket as a Mem'be3" mf the Institute and able to avail yourself of our
new Clu'b Rooms "
While on -the subject of the Club. Room .I\irLd, we had a very
good Field Day, -very ably arranged by our active Fund Raising Committee.
From this effort; we cleared £,7, 10. 0, and I understand that Funds at;
the moment stand at £41. 10. 0, We have received two donations from
Members -bo date so there is (we hope) some more to come from this source,
PLEASE DO IT NOW, The sooner we get some cash, the sooner we can start
earning a bit of ZKESSIE interest and swell the funds a bit more. Our
target is, as ho:doubt you remember, £2500 so there is room yet to
swell it a bit more.
CABBRET EVENING DECEMBER 16r. !'H 1960. The Fund Raising Committee has
