RV GROUP REPORT

OK, we’re back on the mainland after an awesome 2
months/9,000Kms in Tassie, where we enjoyed meeting up
with new Tasmania Co-ordinators Gary (in Hobart) and Mike (in
Launceston). They’re doing a mighty job of getting their state up
and running, already hosting 3 rallies despite forming the group
just 6 months ago. Well done, guys!
We also caught up with Victorian Co-ordinators Janice and Fred
along the way, but missed Webmaster Richard and Marilyn in
our rush to get home, regather, and head to Curra (QLD) to visit
past National Coordinator Ken and Doreen Tacon. Ken is still
soldiering along pretty well a lot of the time, and in fact followed The national AGM rally at Mudgee (NSW) approaches, and will
