FIRST MEETING HELD IN NEW CLUBROOM!

Early part of the evening was taken up with transferring the club library and assorted odds and ends to the new abode.

Sgt. Bob Shin left on the 25th of April, after spending several weeks with the imagi-natives; Rod Allen may have left for overseas service, if a long period of silence following a significantly phrased letter is any indication.
