MOCCO’S MUSINGS

Musings definition – a period of reflections or thought.

We are fast approaching Christmas and the New Year and early in 2025 we have our Annual General Meeting and election of office bearers. It is pleasing to note that many committee members have indicated a willingness to continue in their present roles.

However, some will be retiring. At this stage we need nominations for Vice President, Treasurer and Tours and Outings Coordinator. It is vital for the continuing success of our club that these positions are filled. Please give this request serious consideration.

VP Mike Hartnell will soon be sending out a comprehensive survey to all members relating to all facets of the operation of our club. We look forward to a good response.

Well done to Past President Ros Thompson for organising a morning tea and tour at Gleneaon Village which has resulted in a $500 donation to our club.

Our annual Christmas lunch at Monash Country Club will be the last social event of the year.

Monash Golf Club, named after John Monash, a famous Australian General of World War 1, has an interesting history. Sydney’s Jewish community were avid golfers but in the aftermath of World War 2 the situation changed and Jewish golfers were banned from joining many Sydney golf clubs. So in 1947 land was acquired above Narrabeen and Sydney’s Jewish community constructed their own golf course and club house. Today anyone can join this prestigious club. It is open to all although until recently pork was not on the menu. I don’t know what our social organiser, Marg Lovett, will be dishing up at our Christmas luncheon but I’m sure it will be delicious.

Cheers
President Peter – President
