We had a very quiet meeting on Monday due to several members being on holidays.
However, as it was Club Assembly, Secretary Maureen reported on the Board Meeting

Community Co-Chair Alan Bishop provided an update on the Snow Train, which will be
arriving this Saturday, 1st August. The train will stop at Moe where passengers will disembark
to board buses heading to Mount Baw Baw and Walhalla. On their return later in the day,
our members will be set up and ready to serve tea and coffee before passenger's board the
train for their journey back to Melbourne.
