Congratulations

To all our new Executive and Committee members. Great to see some new faces stepping up. I offer my full support in any way I can. Please call on me if you have a task you think I can fulfil.

A hearty 'Thank You' for all the hours, hard work and head banging over the years, to the outgoing committee.

Congratulations to the new committee and many thanks for the hard work put in over the past years by the old committee.

Hope Noel got an EPIRB and not an EPERB, Matt . . . (where is that tinnie??)

Good on Hal and Brenda for getting on board. I'm sure you both know we are all supportive.

Cheers, Marty

Many thanks to the outgoing committee and congratulations and good luck to the new committee.

A picture springs to mind of Manfred wearing Neville's new hat at Tamworth, pulling a vodka face - yep, most unpresidential - but fun! Not to mention the dispute resolution skills hey Manfred Enjoy the next phase Mannie.

Thank you all for the welcome. Just sent through the President's report to the newsletter which certainly gives thanks to Manfred and to all those who have (and hopefully will continue) contributed to the running of all the many aspects of the ABPA.

I look forward to working in co-operation with you all and to this end would welcome ideas and suggestions (not rude ones ).

My good wishes to the incoming committee too. And my thanks to the outgoing one. It's a big job & we are fortunate in having such dedicated folk 'keeping us afloat.'
