Hi All,

Our last get together was in November 2024. Seems like a long time ago.

So, I thought this would be a good excuse to get together again.

So, again, I have selected a random date of Wednesday 23 July 2025. At North Ryde RSL at 12:30 pm. Peter Alway has booked the same table for us.

Please let me know if you can/cannot attend. If you know of others that might like to come along, please pass this email on to them and ask that they email me.

You may receive this email from either bobcook1@optusnet.com.au or my alternate email bob.cook.ukulele@gmail.com as well; they are all the same details.

That’s how things go these days sending email via Optus.

Regards,

Bob Cook
