Club Trading
Attendances have been good and our net profit at this stage is ahead of the March Quarter 2008. Aprils performance has lifted and profit should increase this month. At March 31 our ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities is 2:47:1 And of Current Assets to Total Liabilities 1:72:1 The uplift in trading figures are attributed to the strategies of the Board and operation by Management.

Renovations
Renovations are a continuous operation in a club like ours, with our 65th Birthday Celebrations almost upon us, we are hoping to have the changes in the décor of the Cocktail Bar completed within 3-4 weeks which will greatly improve this area.

Vale
We regret to announce the death of Phil Hamilton-Foster, Stalwart of the Sub Branch and long time Memorial Club Member. Past Senior Vice President of the Memorial Club, Geoff Davis passed away suddenly. Geoff served on the Board for several years and was a great force in the Men's Bowling Club, winning all Club Championship Events in the one year.

Anzac Day is regarded as our most important day of the year and is strongly supported by the community, our Politician's and Shire Councillors. This year was no exception. Scott Morrison doing the Kokoda Walk, sent an apology and we were delighted to have Malcom Kerr MP, Kevin Schrieber, George Capsis and Carol Provan, Sutherland Shire Councillors with us. An estimated crowd of approx 4,000 people attended the Dawn Service in Monro Park and showed great respect to our fallen hero's during the service. Members were served 321 breakfasts and 327 lunches, two up raised $714.20 for Legacy. A good day.

Sub Clubs
I have attended a number of Sub Club Functions with Patricia recently and I am pleased to report that under the guidance of Peter Scott, President of the Affiliated Organisations Council, Allan Cameron Vice President and their committee members that all Sub Clubs are in great shape. To you older members - The President of the Mens Bowling Club - Harry Browne - has invited you to come down on a Saturday afternoon, sit in the sun, buy some refreshments and watch his skilled men perform on the sward.

Once again, this is your club - Use It !!!

Terry Crowe, President
