TATURA PROBUS CLUB

Our meeting on August 28 was very well attended. Our member behind the badge was Christine Hughan who, complete with slides, showed photos of Tatura State School and told us of her life. She is a delightful woman and we all enjoyed her story.

Roger Lenne of Ardmona was our Guest Speaker. Roger was a volunteer with Angel flight, a charity which caters for people needing assistance to obtain medical care. The Angel flight organisation requires first class pilots who generally supply their own planes, at no cost to the patients. Roger said he has met many interesting people and experienced many funny incidents during his time with Angel flight, 20 years! Roger has been flying for around 35 years and has a 1000m runway on his property. That runway will be used now for take-off and landing his plane, a Comanche Cherokee, for family holidays. Roger said he has thoroughly enjoyed his involvement with such a worthwhile organisation. The members were enthralled by his talk and wish him well in future pursuits. Good on you Roger, well done! He was thanked by Olwyn Milner.

Our luncheon on September 8 was held in Murchison East, at the Railway Hotel with 28 in attendance. We all enjoyed a lovely meal followed by a ‘Tell the Truth’ questionnaire with Geoff McMullen, the winner was Anna Ciavarella with Ev Leahy runner up.
