From the President,

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Betty Graham, wife of long term member, Bruce Graham. A memorial service will be held on the 5th July at the Roselea Community Centre starting at 12noon.

I attended along with other club members the PSPL Information and Partner day. Topics covered included PSPL services and guidelines, club leadership, membership growth and retention, promotional material available and what makes a successful club. Presentations were also made by Trade Travel, specialising in overseas travel and Oncourse Tours about both local and international tours. Breakout groups also occurred to discuss common issues and concerns. Some useful contacts were made to help in garnishing ideas for outings and speakers.

A survey has been circulated for completion. Its objective is to cover a wide range of issues and get a much better picture of preferences for outings and interest groups. I would hope that findings will be available by the August meeting.

Peter Evans

President
