LOWER MURRAY CHRISTMAS BREAK UP
The
Lower Murray
Philatelic Society
finished the year
with a Christmas
Break up at the
Imperial
Chopsticks
Chinese Restaurant in Murray Bridge (our
clubs patrons). The Annual Trophies were
presented by SAPC President Jenny Roland and this year adult members
were presented with medallions and the junior members with trophies.
2019 was a busy year for a number
of our members in the organization side of
club activities, administrations etc. With an
increasing number of members, the society
has found itself in need of finding a larger
room to
meet, and
with thanks
the society,
was able, through the local council to find a
building to share with other groups.
We thanked two retiring members for
their effort over the many years of service as
Alan Stone and
Robert Phaup
have decided
to step down from all formal activities to allow
newer members to take the helm of the
society. Alan has been the President for the
society for over thirty years and was involved
with reforming the society in 1979.
This year marks the 40th year.
