Clubroom Opening17 February 2007 |
Despite the heat wave conditions, a good cross section of members and former members of the club, as well as a number of invited guests were present at the official opening of the upstairs section of the clubrooms on Saturday 17th February 2007.
Long serving Life Member, Joan Hines cut the ribbon to officially open the rooms after Club President, Graeme Olden outlined the long process involved in redeveloping the clubrooms.
The main upstairs room has been named the Graeme Olden Room as a fitting tribute to the work done by Graeme as President of the club for more than 10 years.
Anyone who was there to hear the saga of the clubrooms development would appreciate the amount of work Graeme has done for the benefit of the club.
