September 13th meeting

Today we had a good roll up of members and our guest speaker was  our own member MICK RYAN (retired Fireman) . 
Mick came dressed in his old uniform and bought along a lot of show and tell goodies to show and tell us about. 
 WELL DONE MICK, and the uniform  still fitted you,
                             very impressive !!!!
 Mick  gave a smoke alarm away to a lucky member whose name was drawn during the lucky door prize drawing.. 
Mick told us a lot of tips and gave a lot of good advise, hopefully, we will all be safer in and around our homes now, 
                                     Thanks Mick.. 
Vice president Carolin bought along her dad's old fire helmet to add to the talk Mick gave (see pics below)  ....
Please don't forget to change your batteries in your smoke alarms every year (YES, even the hard-wired ones have a backup battery). If you can't do it yourself (AND SENIORS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CLIMBING LADDERS) ,  please contact your local fire station and they will send a couple of young and handsome men to do that for you. 
You will then go on their list to have regular battery checks. 


Mareea HOOK   received her O.B.E. today, presented to her by Pres DON, Wow these O.B.E. recipients are looking younger all the time . 
Well done Mareea, you don't look like you should have this O.B.E. 
                     See photos below of the meeting....
