The existing Committee was elected again for the coming year and we also had the pleasure of the Rev Ron MacDonald accepting the position of Honorary Padre for the Assn. It has been some years since we had an Honorary Chaplain. Ray’s details can be found on P.16. Ray is the live in caretaker for the Salvation Army Brisbane HQ.
The AGM was followed by a BBQ luncheon provided by the Assn and cooked by brothers Peter and Andrew Rogers (grandchildren of NGVR veteran ‘Horrie’ Harris).
Overall a very enjoyable function.
