Many thanks to all the Vets who completed the 3-question survey taken by Jill Serra on Tuesday the 28th. Results indicate that 75% of our Vets visit the Vets webpage on a weekly or monthly basis. Therefore, we will continue to administer our webpage to provide as much up-to-date photos, results and information as possible, using the webpage to communicate with our members for all Vets golfing matters. All the people questioned indicated they read the quarterly publication Voice of the Vets in one format or another. With regards to the Vets shirts, over 60% of those who indicated a preference wanted to stay with the traditional green shirts instead of adopting the new Club shirts. The Vets Committee has gained some useful information from this survey and we will continue to talk to our members to enable us to serve you better as a Committee.

Wednesday in Mundubbera : Looks like Ross Sturwohld went tearing out the blocks and partied a little too hard on the red wine on the tour party’s first night in Gayndah and Chris Bloem paced herself nicely. Wednesday in Mundubbera sees a role reversal with Chris enjoying a nice glass of ice cold Chardy while Ross is relegated to coffee. Hare and the tortoise Ross, hare and the tortoise !! It was deja vu on the golf course with both Kathy McDonnell and John Bloem, with a new lease of life after his return from injury, again taking home the prizes plus a 41 point win by John Archibald. Not sure how skint they are in Mundubbera but John looks like he won a recycled plastic bag in the photo I was sent. I’m sure his round was worth more than that. Landscape photos please Jill!! Remember the rest of you, golf comes first beer comes later!!!

Tuesday in Gayndah : Our Vets took off on their annual pilgrimage to Gayndah and Mundubbera this week, and according to Peter Landon that meant they would all be talking Braille by the end of each evening. Well, at least they are enjoying themselves – so is Adrian, honest!! We even sent along our own website Vets photographer to capture those precious moments. The first day at Gayndah on Tuesday was a hot one, plenty of cold refreshments required afterwards. Wednesday sees our touring gang move on to Mundubbera for another golfing feast. Somehow Chippy won the longest drive, it must have been on a dog leg right. Well done to Kath and John who managed to pick up winners prizes.

Of course this is our Ex President Don and Ex Ladies Captain Pat – not aged a day Pat. Thanks for sharing your wedding photo with us.
