Club Meeting 16 January 2013

Guest Speaker – Colin Darts. Colin is currently the President of Albury RSL, Junior Vice President of Albury Legacy and a board member of the SS&A club. (Perhaps that is why we had complimentary cake on the tables this week). He is also a neighbour of the Hodges and commented what a great bloke our late member Alan was. Originally from the UK came to Australia in 1965 under the Big Brother Programme. In 1967 he joined the Army and did his electronics training at Bandiana. Colin gave a very interesting address covering his time in PNG with the Survey corps and the Vietnam war where he served for a year 70-­‐71. Being the 50th anniversary of that war he gave an overview of the events and casualty figures in which 60000 Australians were involved. He also gave an overview of Legacy’s work and the changes that are happening with time.
