VALE - JOSE GIAQUINTA
We must record with regrets the passing of long term Club member Jose Giaquinta on 13th August after a period of illness during which he still strove to join in Club activities. Ever the keen angler in most of our outings, always happy, and a lovely gentleman in life. Our thoughts are with Martha and his family at this sad time. Jose's funeral was held on Friday 16th August.

Passing of Nell Hunter
|
Sadly we must record the passing of Nell Hunter on Friday 10th August last having reached the grand age of ninety.
Many members would have met Nell at Club social functions accompanying her fishionado son, and she in turn was always happy to meet with faces both new and old. Our sincere condolences to Mal and the extended Hunter family. |

CLUB HISTORIAN
As a follow up from the Members Night clean up and clean out of our storeroom at Murrumbeena Park Hall, with the membership numbers dropping down and the existing members amongst our elders suffering both short and long term memory malfunctions, the Committee has asked Celia Tabone if she take on the task of Club Historian.
There must be many great stories and details of our Club's activities and memberships from a time long past, and they are the history of our Club which should not be allowed to be forgotten.
Celia will have access to all our old records, minuted details and photographs, but she would also appreciate any items of interest regarding the Club history which may be in the hands of members. Anything you may have could be forwarded via the Club's email address. (oakdale@oakdaleac.org.au)

CLUB NIGHT - 29th NOVEMBER 2017

Many of us attended our final Club Night for 2017 and we had an 'e' night. Educational, entertaining, enjoyable, excellent, ever-knowledgable, Leanne from St.John Ambulance gave us a thorough presentation on Medical Emergency Planning associated with the operation and use of our new defibrillator, together with clear instruction on dealing with emergencies and the correct CPR procedures. We all learnt something, but not sure whether Leanne's live model in John Van Vliet saw all of the instruction. As most will know, we applied for and obtained funding from Fisheries Victoria for the purchase of a defibrillator. The device has been installed in our storeroom at Murrumbeena Park, and available to be taken on Club outings as and when deemed appropriate. Hopefully we will not have the need to use the machine.......ever. |
