Great update Mick
Fantastic update mick! Happy xmas and new year all!
Great effort from the ‘top table’
Time to raise some cash!! My fellow federal flyers!
Never knew this was taking place till a was Told in thought there would a been a letter posted out
Why would anyone want the Fed to go to the expense of posting out letters to every member when it was in the Fed AGM Agenda and then the members that turned up for the meeting unanimously supported the managements proposal for us to purchase a new all singing & dancing Geraldy and look into the possible fund raising to help with the purchase of a more suitable lorry to carry the Geraldy, it was also categorically stated and agreed that no members would be asked to contribute towards these costs but all help towards the sale and any other fund raising would be appreciated and all donations would be very welcomed so what’s not to like and support the cause rather have negative comments ?
Great to see all going so well with Geraldy trailer project. Amazing support.! Fingers crossed.!! Management and supporters should be well applauded.!!
amazing hard working secretary how lucky our federation is to have a person like julie
