Presidents Message - " From all the positive feedback I have received, it appears that Memorial Day 2001 at Springwood, at which was the usual large attendance, was again a huge success. For those members who were unable to attend, the theme of the Guest of Honour, Air Marshal David Evans, when he spoke during the Memorial Service was "Never be apologetic". Memorial Day 2002 will be held, God willing, on August 18. The Guest of Honour and guest speaker on that occasion will be Admiral Chris Barrie AC RAN who is currently Chief of the Australian Defence Force. Make sure you jot the date down in your diary."
