Welcome to our Newsletter for May and June.

Well, another HFF year is reaching its conclusion – with our AGM scheduled for Sunday 23rd July. The invite has been sent by Secretary Ron and, as you will have seen, the meeting will be held at the Newport Lifestyle Village (where we have our Christmas Party).

After the formalities are over, the club will provide a free luncheon for attendees. As such, for catering purposes, it is important to let Robin know by the 17th July if you will be attending.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the meeting, as on that day we will be at sea somewhere between Broome and Mitchells Plateau. This was a cruise we book nearly four years ago, but it had to be rescheduled on three occasions — two due to COVID lockdowns in WA, and last year due to serious health issues with our young grandson. So mid-July this year was the only time we were able to rebook.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the HFF committee and our co-club captains for their work and assistance through out the year. I know I have enjoyed the year, and despite some outings having to be cancelled due to the weather, I hope that people have enjoyed the club’s meetings and various activities during the past twelve months.

I am also pleased to say that recently we have welcomed some new, and former members to the club. So a very warm welcome to Paul Saunders & Sandy Sherd, and, of course, a big welcome back goes to Alan and Trish Rogers; it is so good to see you both again.

Nomination can still be made for club positions so please have a think about whether you would like to make a contribution to the success of our club by taking on one of the administrative roles. I look forward to seeing you on a river somewhere!

David
