Monthly Meeting

Sixty-two RPOA members attended their monthly general meeting at the Police Association’s Fenwick Hall on September 2. Peter Linney entertained with songs from the ’40s through to the current day.

Most popular were those songs made famous by Flannigan and Allen. Those present were reminded of their ages by the number of members who sang along with full knowledge of the lyrics.

And, members’ physical capacities were tested during the afternoon as a result of a breakdown of the Police Association’s lift. Creaking bones were clearly evident.

Using The Police Club

It’s greatly pleasing that RPOA members are supporting the Police Club. The RPOA is consistently booking a table for 17 each meeting day.

RPOA president, Les Morris, will meet Police Association president, Peter Alexander, to strengthen further the ties which already exist between the two organizations.

Annual Dinner

Raelene Holloway - who for the last several annual dinners has arranged name tags and seating - has asked that those going to the dinner book early. This will greatly assist her to arrange this year’s name tags.

Bookings can only be made up to and including October 7.

Committee History

The RPOA’s recently re-elected committee is its longest serving. Two of its outstanding committee members are:

Sick List

With recent warmer weather, fewer members are on the sick list, but the RPOA extends it sympathy to those currently suffering ill-health.
