A number of folk have expressed interest in individual and Group lobbying/campaigning in the lead up to the Federal election. Although the date of Election Day is unknown, it is coming! The general feeling is that there is still much to do to alert the Liberal and Labor parties, in particular, of what is important to the electorate, and what we are asking them to do, to ensure our interests are represented and acted upon. At our May meeting we will have an opportunity to share ideas briefly and formulate a simple but effective plan to continue the momentum. Please bring some ideas along.

With the end of daylight saving and a chill in the air, you can perhaps begin to imagine wanting to warm up with a glass of mulled wine and the sit down with a group of friends to a turkey and plum pudding dinner.  Well, you will have a chance to do just that on Saturday 26th June as you participate in one of our major annual fund-raising events. (The venue will most likely be the very new Eltham Bowling Clubrooms). So mark the date in your diary and begin to organise a table of 8. At the May meeting we will be calling for volunteers to form a small planning group, a kitchen team, and to cook a pudding. Ruth Seidler
