Im excited - This is the first year of me not arranging an ANZAC Day Dawn Service, Veterans March and Civic Ceremony in Port Pirie for 7 long years.
Ive handballed the RSL Secretarys job over to another chippy as it happens - Andrew 'Lofty' Hynes... some may know him Looks like a giant Gandalf and spent time up in Darwin. I believe Lofty may have been up at DNB in the late 80s whilst I was the Buffer up there. Think he looked after the Arrow Bar for a while. Please say hi to him for me.

Im off to the USA on Thursday to see my son daughter and my grandchildren.  I have to say Im as excited as a dog with two dicks having not seen 3 of them since 2019. First stop Florida for just over a week and then onto Ohio for just under two. The US government shutdown has me a tad nervous with internal flights in total chaos.

Hopefully the bozos in Washington will get their act together before Thursday, Fraddy. Safe travels.
