The Formation of the Frosterley Club (continued)

We had to make a very minor variation for the September meeting as Melbourne Show Day is traditionally on the last Thursday of the month of September.

Attachment G relates to the September meeting and contains a list of members accepted by 1st September 1976.

The October meeting, also successful and also at the Carlton Bowling Club, was reported on by Bob Crowder who also announced in his letter of the 8th November that the November meeting would be held on the 25th. This was Bob's last appearance in print as Secretary because he was shortly afterwards to take up an Executive Training course with the Public Service Board. He arranged for one of his assistants to act as Secretary for the next two years. This was A Douglass who did an extremely good job (see Attachment H). Attachment I records the first occasion when the meeting of the Frosterley Club coincided with that of the Social Club on the occasion of the retirement of two long-serving officers of the Bureau. These were Allen Bath and Brian Purcell.
