A farewell note from the editor

As many of you know, I will be stepping down as President at the upcoming AGM. 

  I will also be handing over the club communications to the new committee. Therefore, after more than 45 editions, this will be my last newsletter.  I hope you found the newsletters easy to read and informative. The newsletters will continue with a new editor so keep an eye on your inbox. 

It has been a pleasure being on the committee over the past 5 years.  I would like to express my gratitude to the committee members. They have shown great commitment to our club and have been an effective and fun team to work with.

Thanks to all members for their support, particularly over these past two years when I have been President. 

I wish club members and especially the incoming committee all the best, 

warm regards, Coleen.

Thanks to Leigh and Andy for hosting a fabulous Music Fun Night. Lots of quizzes, games and challenges. And LOTS of singing by members.

We even had a band, our own Pistee Boys & Girl a.k.a. Greg Andy and Bernie who really rocked it! 

 
Triples tournament was a big day for the club

We hosted a very successful Triples Tournament in August. There were 24 teams battling it out in perfect conditions. Congrats to Tammie Ben and Chris from StKilda (pictured), who achieved 3rd place and were our highest performing team.

As a club hosted event, it was also an effective fundraiser.

Thanks to our volunteers we had delicious food for sale, the pistes looked wonderful and the tournament ran smoothly. 

Without their help, hosting tournaments would not be possible.

 

 
Jolly Roger Friendly Competition with Mt Macedon
Jolly Roger
The annual Jolly Roger against Mt Macedon was a fun day with friendly camaraderie among all players. We got off to a good start with bacon and egg rolls for brekky (thanks Wayne). 
 
CPC won the trophy, but Mt Macedon were great competitors and excellent sports! The individual top scorer was Rex, closely followed by Robert P. Congratulations. We all had a truly enjoyable day, so everyone was a winner.

Thanks  to organiser and scorer Ken, Kathy for planning the catering, and everyone who helped out. 
 
An interesting side note is that our own Paul Williams developed the scoring software used at the tournament. Mt Macedon were so impressed they requested a copy.
