August 2001 Volume 82 Number 8 "serving the protectors"
By Ray Williams Assistant Secretary

AGM

Forty-three Retired Police Officers Association members attended their annual general meeting at Fenwick Hall on July 5, despite inclement weather.

Reports were received from Les Morris (president), Ken Phillips (treasurer) and Tom Zacher (welfare officer).

That nominations for positions on the RPOA committee were not forthcoming from the floor was disappointing. Members re-elected unopposed were: Les Morris (president), Lex Teague (vice-president), Shirley Phillips (secretary), Ken Phillips (treasurer), Ray Williams (assistant secretary), Tom Zacher (welfare officer).

Members who remain as committee members are: Colin Beames, Joyce Beames, Allan Dwyer, Maureen Dwyer, Rob Thompson and Rae Holloway.

Country visit

The luncheon for country members held at Victor Harbor was a great success. Fifty-three members and wives attended and praised this ongoing event, which country members no doubt appreciate.

Vale 2000-2001

The RPOA extends its sympathy to the families of 25 members who died during the past financial year. Those members were:
John Menz, Pat Hurley, Rex Geue, Frank Berry, Frank Bone, Allan Wilkins, Ray Withers, Ron (Taffy) Newman, Kevin Hill, Hartley Harding, Don Anderson, Ted Obst, Lloyd Gurney, Hazel Millowick, Graham Daly, Brian Lyons, Brian Nottle, Roy Bone, Mick O’Donoghue, Barbara O’Dea, Margaret Kennedy, Pat Easson, Robert Geary, Arthur Whitford, Russell Hayton.

Treasurer’s report

At the end of the financial year 1999-2000, the balance in the S.1 account stood at $4,825.30.

At the end of the 1999-2000 financial year, the term deposit held $6,500. Interest received was $390 less 25¢ tax leaving a balance of $6,889.75, which has been reinvested.
