PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear Member, With the financial year now at an end, it is again time for those of our members who have to pay tax to file the necessary papers, and I hope all will receive refunds.

Our financial year also ended on 30th June and early indications point to another solid year’s trading from our Club. As I have stated in numerous reports the end result comes down to many factors, including good management from C.E.O. Chris McCarthy and his team and most importantly you the member for your continued support.

I am pleased to report at last that the carpark opposite the Club has now been resealed and linemarked. This carpark is under the control of Rail Corp and we have been in constant correspondence with them for nearly four years regarding an upgrade for commuters and club users alike.

While it has been a long time coming the end result is a first class job.

The “Hawks” Development Application is still with Council at the time of writing and hopefully will be finalised very soon.

The Sportsmen Lunch for the Adam Gardiner Fund was a great success. The event made nearly $12,000, which goes to the running of the Amyloidosis Clinic at Westmead Hospital. Our Club is honoured to be the major sponsor of this Fund which supports the work of specialists in the battle against Amyloidosis (a rare blood disorder which affects the proteins in the body).

I would like to acknowledge the efforts of staff members Hanz Mendez, Chris Kalligas, Karen Stansfield, Juan Gonzalez, Samantha Ishizuka and Marshlynn Williams who, by their quick action helped revive a club member who suffered a heart attack in the Club recently. Medical staff that later treated the member praised their work and stated that in their opinion, their actions saved the man’s life. It is good to know that the club has well-trained, dedicated staff on hand to assist in an emergency. Well done to all those staff involved.

In conclusion, on behalf of the board, management and staff may I again sincerely thank all members who support our Club, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the facilities we provide.

Keith Aggett.

President

With over 25 years’ dedicated service to club members caterer Sidney Ho’s Palm Court Bistro has been a longserving dining institution at Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club.

The Bistro has certainly seen some changes during that time but continues to evolve as a prominent dining destination in the local area – the weekend queues vouch for that!

Sidney’s staff have a great sense of teamwork and strive to make everyone’s experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With a wide range of menu choices and over 150 dishes from which to choose The Palm Court Bistro delivers versatile and appetising favourites from Asian to vegetarian, seafood, grills, carvery, chef specials, salads, desserts and a delicious menu for children, priced from a very reasonable $7.50.

There’s also a Daily Dessert Special served with the awardwinning Giotto Gelato. This locally made gelato has won several gold medals and certificates of distinction. Whether you’re a lover of chocolate, a fan of the exotic, or simply open to a subtle surprise, Giotto Gelato will not fail to please.

There are two children’s play rooms directly adjacent to the Bistro so when the kids have finished their fish and chips or nuggets they can occupy themselves in a safe environment while you kick back and enjoy the atmosphere.

We cater for all tastes and budgets and want to make your visit to the Palm Court Bistro a memorable dining experience.

So the next time you are looking to dine out in the local area come and join us at the Palm Court Bistro.

The team looks forward to serving you!

CAMERA CLUB We have been busy and involved with many and interesting photographic activities. For many members, the presentation of the photographic areas of Photojournalism, Photographic Portfolios and Night Photography was a new experience. We were fortunate to have excellent presenters who were able to guide and explore these fields of photography for us. Night photography was a very hands on experience down at the Quay and the Rocks. The field of Photojournalism was presented to us by a professional photojournalist.

Members then went off to put into practice the guidance they had been given. Our photojournalist then came back to view and judge our images. This proved to be a most worthwhile experience for us all. Photographs were presented that even we were surprised with.

Members are finding the Photographic Portfolio a challenge, but again, with guidance and support of one who knows and is happy and able to share their expertise, the journey is a most rewarding one. We have discovered that there are so many ways to explore and enrich our photography. Come and join us and be part of these opportunities. At our presentation evenings, digital evenings, committee meetings and competition nights we are so very well looked after by the Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club with tea, coffee and biscuits. If you are disappointed with the judge’s decision regarding your wonderful photography, you can always share a cup of coffee with good friends. You can find out more about our club and its’ activities at: www.pbase.com/relccc. John Maynard CHESS CLUB The Club Championship Preliminary round-robin tournament is substantially complete, with the following players progressing to the round robin finals tournament in October and November: Group A – Arthur Huynh and Rob Watson; Group B – Donato Mallari and Paul Gluvchinsky; Group C – Lorenzo Escalante and Brenton Yum. Handicap winners in each division were: Group A – Kevin Chan; Group B – Fiona Shen and Yifu Wu; Group C – Kevin Shen. We have three teams in the interclub competition. After 7 rounds (with three to go), the U1700 team is in 5th place, while our two teams in the U1500 division are in 3rd and 4th place.

As always, new players of any standard are welcome on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. Visit our website at www. rydeeastwoodchessclub.blogspot.com. Contact Les Mikolajczyk (0412 970 059), Rob Watson (0408 463 759) or Greig Edwards (9858 3731 or 0416 248 223).

EUCHRE CLUB An invitation is extended to all Euchre Players to come along on Wednesday evenings at 7.20pm to enjoy a game of cards and friendship. Games commence at 7.30pm, 16 games are played with prizes for 1st and 2nd for both men and ladies. At the conclusion of the evening a light supper is enjoyed by many of our members.

Aces up! Pierina Dick Publicity Officer THE FISHING CLUB Winter is now upon and the Autumn fishing months gave us a mixed bag. The May outing had good weather and plenty of fish, 75 in fact, weighing 36kg. Also a record number of 13 pig fish were caught. Garry Le had the heaviest bag with 7.1kg and Winny had the biggest fish, a 1.1kg Morwong. Our June outing had a change of weather, 3 metre swells and cold and wet underfoot.

Only 23 fish were caught for a total weight of 11.3kg.

Two of our seasick members, Peter and Daniel, did well.

Daniel caught the heaviest bag of 2.2kg while Peter caught the most morwongs, two in total. The AGM will be held on Thursday 17th July 2014 at 8pm. Membership

GOLF CLUB Windsor hosted the first round of matchplay with congratulations to those progressing to round 2. The event of the day was stableford: congratulations to Robert Wood (A grade) and Alan Dale (B grade).

Runners-up on the day were John Nilan (A grade) and Yuri Popov (B grade). The Maris/Busher Cup versus North Ryde was held at Massey Park and congratulations to Ryde-Eastwood Social Golf Club on retaining the trophy. Fox Hills was a medal round and on the podium we had Henry Urbanski (A Grade) and Keith Chan (B Grade). Runner-up prizes were awarded to Tony Tedesco and Eric Tsui. The Springs hosted Round 2 of matchplay with congratulations going to the final 4. Medals at The Springs were awarded to Ulla Wood (A Grade) and Eric Tsui (B Grade). Runners Up on the day were Robert Wood (A Grade), a family affair for the Woodies and Natalia P (B Grade). Macarthur Grange hosted round 3 of the Stableford Trophy which opened up the field for many as our leader had a major crash. Congratulations on the day to Jeff Akers, our winner, and runner up Tony Tedesco. The final round of the Stableford Trophy was battled out at Glenmore Park. Congratulations to Rick Beves who went in with a one shot lead and held onto it from Valery P. I think the Golf Course was the eventual winner as only one person improved their overall ranking! On the day our winner was Ulla Wood on count back from Yuri Popov.

SENIORS CLUB It is with great sadness that one of our Committee Members, Wal Harrison, passed away on Thursday 3rd July. Wal had been on the Committee since its inception and was loved by everyone who came to know him so well. Our condolences go to Joan and family. We are now half way through the year with exceptionally warm and dry weather to add to the enjoyment of our bus trips and monthly walks. We had a very interesting tour in May with our guide taking us around Middle Harbour. Some of our members had not been there for many years while others had never been to that part of Sydney. In June we had a bus tour around the Old Prince Henry Hospital and spent time in the Nursing and Medical Museum where we had a very informative talk from four nurses (now retired ) who spoke of their time in the hospital and the doctors’ inventions and academic achievements. What a wonderful place the museum is, filled with extremely old medical instruments including an iron lung in which a lady spent thirty years of her life, old wheelchairs, a dentist’s chair together with instruments used fifty years ago. There was a huge

collection of nurses uniforms through the years and didn’t they look smart. We had a further tour of the non-denominational Commemorative Chapel for the nurses that had worked at Prince Henry Hospital with the most beautiful stained glass windows. Afterwards we had a delightful lunch at the Yarra Bay Sailing club.

We held our annual Christmas in July lunch at Waterview Restaurant, Berowra Waters, and were blessed with beautiful weather, good company and the venue

overlooking the water Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the great entertainment by Joey Fimmano who sang, played the keyboard and piano accordion – what a great artist! An excellent day out was had by all.

We have more trips planned for the next few months and members from Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club who wish to join us on our bus trips are most welcome. A card game of Solo is played every Thursday at 1.30pm for our REL Senior’s Club members. Our annual fee to join the REL Seniors Club is $5 and we meet on the first and third Thursday of each month at 11am. For more information please contact Marie Weston, Secretary, on 9638 7419.

SQUASH CLUB At the time of writing we are just entering the final round of the Autumn competition. As I mentioned in the last report, we have 3 teams competing (Division 6, Division 7, Division 10). The positions are very similar to last report, with one exception - well done Div 7, equal 3rd!! A great comp by all players. Division 6 (1st) Division 7 (Equal 3rd) Division 10 (5th). Just a quick reminder to all players that this year the internal Club Championship round robin will be played at the completion of the Autumn competition, so get your games played. This is held once a year and is a great chance to play against better players, so get involved.

This is a great opportunity to ‘SHINE’ and win a great prize. Good luck to all who have entered. Let’s see if we can have few upsets this year. Finally, thanks to the Leagues Club for its ongoing support of the Squash Club, which is very much appreciated by all the players.

Remember, we are always looking for squash players, so if you are interested please contact Ernie Speed on 9807 3348. Just a quote: ‘Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.’

TRAVELLING BOWLS CLUB Our last trip was to Umina Bowling Club in June where we had a lovely time and the bowlers thoroughly enjoyed the day. We also had six non-players who also enjoyed the bus trip and the outing and our numbers were up.

Due to unforseen circumstances the scheduled outing on 27th July 2014 to Towradgi has been cancelled. On Sunday 14th September we are off to Avoca Beach Bowling Club. Hopefully the weather will warm up and we can have a great day in the sun and on the greens.

Dress code is bowls uniform. Then on Sunday 9th November 2014 it’s off to Ettalong Beach Bowling Club we go, our last trip for the year, so please come along and join us and support the Travelling Bowlers - the more the merrier! For any information please contact Marie Crawley on 9684 1023 or Brenda Paterson on 8819 9650 or Maria Armstrong on 9878 5656. Happy Bowling!

TRAVEL CLUB The Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 2pm. We are always looking for new members to join our friendly group. Membership is only $5.00. For further information please contact Yvonne Steel on 9878 1164 or Helen Tuckwell on 9809 4335.
