PMAV Central Branch Change Of Venue

As from the 17th Feb. next year the Central Branch will be meeting at the Maryborough Highland Society, 35 High Street on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We have been meeting at the National Hotel in Clunes but that now has stopped.  At our new venue there is a chance of having a "great" 2 course meal for $20, starting at 6pm then the meeting at 7pm. Anyone that has ever had a meal at the Highland Clud will know what I mean about "Great". All PMAV members and guests are welcome. The Club has offered us a room for our meetings. If your interested their are pokies there as well if you are that way inclined and would like to have a flutter after the meeting.

We hope this will be more benefical for people living closer to Maryborough and the surrounding areas and create a bigger interest in the Central Branch.

I've bumped this up just as a reminder of our meeting on the 17th of this month. "ALL WELCOME"

Having won the Highland Society voucher during the Bash, and now having had lunch there, I wholeheartedly agree with Wombat's comments about the food.

Thank's Lindt for that mate. Yes the food is good and only $20.00 for a two course meal on Wednesday nights is very good value for money.

Hi all.

Sorry for not getting back to you all earlier in regards on how our meeting went, but I had to get wife down to the Royal Melb. Hospital ASAP as she was diagnosed with having a aneurism a few days earlier and was starting to have dizzy spells. She is now out of hospital but not completely out of danger as yet. But with plenty of rest and a bit of life changing activities wifie will get better in time. Because of this I was not able to attend the meeting, but Leanne Kamp came to the party and Chaired the meeting. "Thank you Leanne"

Thanks also to Ken Smith for taking the minutes. "Well done mate & Thank You"

I'm more than happy to be excepted as your President. Thank you.
I would also like to welcome the rest of our committee and thank them for coming on board. I know with all of us working together the Central Branch will grow into to a great branch that we all will be proud off.

This is our 1st lot of minutes with the new format.
