APEX UPDATE Sept 08

Ahoy there.

Captain Rushton of the Yellow submarine bringing you all the news from your local Apex Club.  Still running deep and silent, under fire from the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney General for some minor paperwork lapses – but we’re getting there.

DIRECTORY TIME

Directory time again as you can see from the advert below. 

A couple of changes to this year’s edition will be an experiment in trying to put the Directory contents “on line” and the promise of fully traceable electronic banking. 

Don’t worry, you’ll still receive the bound booklet complete with gaudy art work but, as an added extra, the electronic generation will be able to scour the listings and count the number of Sellins in a number of key strokes …

Hopefully the availability of electronic banking will enable earlier compilation of the Directory and limit the chasing of late payments.  Miss the cut-off date at your own peril!  We wish all our valued advertisers a prosperous year and look forward to our continued mutually beneficial relationship.

DAYBORO DAY

Dayboro Day Boat Race bigger and better than ever though obviously we’ll need another boat and a set of rules if we are to avoid the wrath of Mrs Hansen.  The submarine was eventually scuppered in Stefan and Jackie’s garden to provide housing for their growing guinea pig herd.

DAYBORO SHOW

Dayboro Show was well attended with the boys helping out on the gates as well as rebuilding the entry to the produce pavilion.  Apologies to anyone who thought they’d get in for free through Tullamore Park but the show committee are ahead of you.  The face of the Chocolate Cake competition reckons he was done in the baking but as a home brew exhibitor I could find no fault in the judging.

MEMBERSHIP MOMENTS

The crew has been extended by two additional members Mark Patterson and John Ohman:  “Patto” and “Socco” respectively, just in time to replace John Schuhmann who is expecting to retire from active duty in the near future.  That’s what he thinks …

Congratulations go to member Mark Hazell, on the birth of twins Sienna and Jasper, I saw him 6 days after the birth and he’d gained at least 6 years, what he’ll look like by Christmas is worrying.

Watch out for rowdiness on Williams St on the 20th of September when the Apex Club of Dayboro hosts the District Convention at the council offices and then stages their Changeover Dinner at the Rendezvous Café later in the day – you have been warned.
