warm welcome to Tony Joyce and his wife Lyn,

Principal of Yarloop Primary School in 1910.
A farmer for 10 years, John then
went into the timber industry and started Jarrahco.
John is starting to wind
down in preparation for retirement
and will enjoy spending more time with Layla
as they indulge in camping, fishing, and diving in exotic places.
Welcome to you all.

Induction of Amy Bayliss
It
was a pleasure to present outgoing Secretary, John Erkins,
with a well
deserved Paul Harris Fellowship.
We'd organised it before John took a few
weeks break
from the Club and "sprang" it on him at home
watched
by a number of Club members.
John was suitably surprised and delighted.
The award is well and truly deserved especially
to recognise
John's outstanding commitment and contribution
in his six years as Club
Secretary.
