This is the last of my newsletters for 2015 and our last general meeting for this year. Next month we will meet on Tuesday,15th December for our Christmas Lunch and at our meeting today we need to finalize attendance details. Make a note in your diary that our first meeting in 2016 will be on the 19th of January.
The year seems to have flown by and the March 2016 AGM is just around the corner! Have you thought about your contribution to the running of this club by standing for a committee position at the AGM?
The trip to the HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) Museum at Albion Park was well attended, with everyone enjoying the experience. For those who missed the visit, the museum does open regularly for visitors. Next week we will visit the lovely Japanese Garden at East Gosford, with lunch at the Gosford Sailing Club by the water.
Here at Northbridge, a new arrangement for lunch has been requested by Doreen and her team: Please be seated at your table and your order will be taken (instead of standing in line and ordering at the bar).
For those of you not coming to our Christmas Lunch, may I wish you and your families a Very Happy Christmas and Great Happy and Healthy 2016!
Membership report: Our membership remains at 57 (34 women and 23 men).
Many Happy Returns of the Day for your November birthday: Geoffrey C 07, Clive W 09, Linda A 11, Marie A 15, Mary Ann I 21, Peter B 26, Evelyn K 26, and Jenny L 28.

A Request from Our Treasurer, Susan M :
Can you help please? I collect postage stamps!
I would be grateful if you could save your used stamps and bring them to our Probus meetings.
You can either leave the stamp on the envelope or cut it off, leaving a good border around the stamp so as not to damage the precious perforations. Many thanks.
Note: All our Probus meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of every month. The next meeting will be held on 19 January 2016. The committee meetings are conducted in the Northbridge Golf Club, usually on the first Tuesday of the month. Members are welcome to observe.
