Reports

 
Brian - the show is on the pavilion letter in the mail box
We have to surrender the the pavilion for the show.  
Ist week in July cuttle fish stay overnight in the pavilion.  Need a working bee before then, probably on got next Sunday need to vacuum the carpet for them 28 people 
Bedford Brian talked to the meeting about the gardening shed and the email we have had from Barry.

Highlights

This is one of the areas I cannot remember.
Brian - A younger woman gave Brian her phone number today.  Lowlight leaving the newspaper now wwe think we have dementia
Brian - half way through cutting the hedge which he has let go for a few years.  The one with the red flowers now he only has half to go.  
Keith - Thursday a week ago realised he was only one step away from the King.  Maybe they could have a room for the night to watch the football.
Cassandra update on my driving  was challenged by a three point turn.  
Perry - flashback that he had.  When he got his first ford  falcoln when he was doing a three point turn and he was not very happy  hoping he would go away.  Now the highlight.  Went to Adelaide to see their son his 29th birthday.   Walks  ended up going into the Adelaide Goal.  On the three of them in the place , if you don’t like spooky don’t go there.  
‘Shelleyl - late 1990s don’t suffer from road rage, he just missed her she last out  reacted much the same as Perry.  It was Father Hacket . Donning sick people. 
Leanne - going to port lincoln was very good,   Did a presentation wond 4 bottles of wine.
 
For some of us the highlight was the van being out at the week-end.  Keith told us he was having dinner with the SA Governor General, her Excellency, the Honourable Frances Adamson AC.  I will pick up the rest and post them in the next bulletin
There is no chance I will remember the sergeant session🤪 But let me just say that Larisa did a great job.
 

Speaker tonight
Perry Eden

His life

Perry, in his unique and inimitable way gave us a wonderful rundown of his life from his birth, where he was born, where he and his parents moved to.  How surprised he was when he got a baby sister.  In those days it was not discussed as a family, and when Fiona arrived, Perry was happy but wondered just how that happened. 😏
Perry had a very interesting study and work life, he took us through his university days and all the places he worked.  Ending up back here in Whyalla.
then cam the part we were all waiting for - well the girls were - how he met Natalia.  From a conversation in a supermarket to his travels to Russia, well Siberia, where he met Nata and her family.  He was determined he was not leaving Russia without Marrying her. That was an amazing task in itself, with all the legalities of it.  It all came to fruition and Perry came back to Whyalla to prepare for his bride coming.  I remember at the time his friends in the Rotary club of Whyalla, were all very excited for him and looking forward to meeting Nata and Sergei.  It all happened, we met Nata and her son and we could see Perry was very happy.  As they say in the fairytales 'and they all lived happily every after'
Above is a photo graph of Perry and his family at Perry's Changeover.
 

Reminders

  • Changeover celebration on Saturday 29 June 
  • First week in July the Tumby Bay Combined School will utilise the Pavilion. Need a working bee for it - time on Sunday 1pm in the afternoon.  Brian to send a reminder.
