APEX UPDATE December 2008
Hello there. Big news from the Apex Club of Dayboro is the resolution of our troubles with the authorities and we are now back and operating as an incorporated body – just as well as the Directory invoices were being printed. Seemingly our glacial response times exhausted the intransigence of the bureaucrats and they capitulated. Thank you to all the advertisers who’ve committed to the new Directory, it has been “put to bed” and the colour blind crew have selected a pale blue as most appropriate to accompany Mr Nigel Platt’s fine etching.
The new committee have taken their seats and are feeling their way like blind mice in a maze:
Stefan Hansson as “El Presidente”, Mark Hazell as “The Money Man” and myself as the “Humble Scribe” or “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ride again”
Observant members of the community would have noticed the bizarre selection of humanity that congregated at the ECU to attend the Brisbane South Coast District Convention and the later Changeover Dinner at the Rendezvous. Thank you to Deb, Dave and PC Robinson for your understanding and accommodation. Both events ran their erratic course, the underwhelming convention balanced by the awesome changeover dinner catered by the Apex Brides –big thank you to Mam Ohman. To bring proceedings to a close Peter the Painter saw fit to enlighten the State President’s wife as to her personal failings – four times. The repercussions from this exchange have been curtailed by the State President’s resignation but that just leaves him more time for considered revenge and knife sharpening.
Apex Dayboro have finally made good on their promise to create a ramp at the school, eschewing the opportunities offered by the cooler seasons to perform this task in the heat of summer. Anyway it looks good and we’ve now got access for an ambulance gurney to the Administration Block.
Watch this space for more random concreting and acts of locally focussed generosity.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Yours in Apex
Mark Rushton
Secretary
