A great meeting last night, which was very well attended by Club members.

It could have been the prospect of getting a feed of Bot’s famous Italian Beef Stew, or the prospect of going home with the lucky member door prize.

But two things were sure, everyone went away full, and winners were grinners with Life Member David Murray (aka Beak) being drawn at random and Beak was in attendance so he receive the jackpot lucky member door prize, well done Beak.

The other winner for the night was member Phil who received the the “Pig’s Ear Award” from its previous 1 day custodian Bernie Simmons.

Phil warmly received the Pigs Ear which was awarded to him for a slight indiscretion while on this weeks Monday Red plate ride, After receiving the award Phil passed on some sage advise about his indiscretion to the members present.

No doubt Phil will already be on the lookout for the next lucky recipient of “Pigs Ear Award”, stay tuned.
