From the President,

It was with great sadness that several members attended a service of thanksgiving for the life of Graham Henderson last month. Graham was a much loved long term member and will be greatly missed.

This month I will be attending a Probus Information and partner day. The days are arranged by PSPL and are designed to give valuable insights into membership retention, leadership, succession planning, club promotion and publicity. A full report will be provided at the July meeting.

Work continues on the adoption of a new constitution based on the PSPL recommended format.

The May outing to the Art Gallery of NSW was cancelled due to a lack of numbers. The interest in attending the June outing to Doyle’s is below expectations. If this trend continues then the success of future outings is in jeopardy.

I really need to know the style of outings that would be attractive and any price sensitivities. Day bus tours are expensive and would mean costs in excess of $120 per person. Would outings of this nature and cost be supported by you? Any comments and thoughts would be most welcome.

Regards

Peter Evans
