Noticeboard
Message from the Secretary
We love to have children in our club and to see them enjoying themselves.
Unfortunately we have had some minor accidents lately because of kids running
around on or near the dance floor, kitchen and bar in the Edelweißhalle.
Please keep an eye on your children and explain to them the dangers of getting
in the way of serving staff and bar staff as this is an occupational health and
safety issue for our staff and volunteers.
Thanks in anticipation
Pamela Millar
Bar price Changes

discounts on most drinks from

Bericht der Präsidentin
Am 19. Mai hatten wir unser Abschiedsessen des Vorstandes in der Edelweißhalle.
An diesem Abend verabschiedeten wir auch Wolfgang und Klaus Leonhardt als
Moderatoren unseres RDC Radios. Über 19 Jahre haben diese beiden Herren uns
mit Musik, Kultur und vielen Neuigkeiten
aus Deutschland unterhalten. In dieser Zeit
haben sie ca. 470 Sendungen hervorragend
moderiert. Wir möchten uns dafür noch
einmal herzlich bedanken. Gleichzeitig
begrüßen wir Günter Lorenz als neuer
Moderator des Radios. Er bringt einen ganz
neuen Stil in die Sendung.
Im 27. Mai war unsere diesjährige Mitgliederversammlung. Unser Vorstand
besteht weiterhin aus den gleichen Personen. Der einzige Wechsel ist, Hans
Nimmerrichter, hörte auf. An seiner Stelle hat Susan Muir die Position als Vize
Präsident übernommen. Wir alle werden auch dieses Jahr unser Bestes zum
Wohle des Clubs geben.
Am 18. August haben wir unsere beliebte Alpengaudi von der Edelweißtanzgruppe.
Ziehen Sie Ihre Tanzschuhe an und kommen Sie zum Club. Es wird ein
unterhaltsamer Abend werden, mit den Glockenspielern und den Tänzen der
Tanzgruppe. Jeden Sonntag öffnet der Club um 16 Uhr und von 17 bis 18 Uhr
ist “Happy Hour”. Kommen Sie zum Club Sie jetzt im Winter einen warmen
Glühwein trinken. Sie sind ein wichtiger Teil des Rhein Donau Clubs und wir
brauchen Ihre Unterstützung.
Wir sind in großer Vorbereitung für den 60. Clubgeburtstag, den wir am
15.September feiern werden. Es wird ein großer, unterhaltsamer Abend, den wir
mit Ihnen, den Mitgliedern, feiern wollen.Am 16.September veranstalten wir
dann einen Familientag, zu dem der Club alle Mitglieder, deren Familien und
Freunde recht herzlich einlädt.
Für dieses Wochenende sind helfende Hände immer Willkommen.

President’s Report
On the 19th May we had our final committee
dinner in the Edelweiss Hall. During this evening
we farewelled Wolfgang and Klaus Leonhardt as
presenters of our RDC Radio program. These two
gentlemen have entertained us with music, culture
and news from Germany for over 19 years. In this
time, they have presented approximately 470
excellent programs. We would like to thank them
very much once again for this dedicated work. At
the same time, we welcome Günter Lorenz as the
new announcer for the radio. He is bringing us a very different style of program.
On the 27th May we held our 2018 Annual General Meeting. Our committee
still has the same membership as last year, with one small change, in that Hans
Nimmerrichter has stepped down. Susan Muir has taken over his position as Vice
President as well as continuing in the role of Vice Treasurer. This year we will all
continue to do our best for the well-being of the Club.
On the 18th August the Edelweiss Dance Group will present our beloved
Alpengaudi. Put on your dancing shoes and come to the Club on this evening.
It will be a most entertaining evening with the bell ringers and the dances of
the dance group. Every Sunday the Club is open from four o’clock and “Happy
Hour” is from five to six. Come along and enjoy, now in winter, a warming
Glühwein. You are an important part of the Rhein Donau Club and we need your
support.
We are in full swing with preparations for the Club’s 60th Anniversary, which will
be celebrated on Saturday 15th September. This will be a fun and entertaining
evening that we want to celebrate with you, our members.Then on Sunday 16th
September we are planning a Family Day, to which the Club cordially invites all
members, their families and friends.Helping hands on this day would be most
welcome.

Christmas in July
This year we had our first Christmas in July at the Club. The Edelweiss Hall was
magically transformed into a Winter Wonderland with fairy lights and tinsel
providing an enchanting atmosphere.
Nearly 100 members and their guests enjoyed this delightful evening with
music provided by Jacques and his Jolly Good Fellas. There was a special guest
performance by the ‘Sweet Nutcrackers’ and Santa also paid a visit. Armanda
cooked up a feast with roast Turkey and Christmas Ham and Ursula made sure
that there was plenty of Glühwein for everyone.
Thanks to Debbie and her team from the Table Tennis Group for putting on such
a splendid night. Let’s make it an annual event.

News from our Members
from the editor:
URSULA AND DIETER PFLAUMBAUM COMING HOME TO PERTH BY SEA
Ursula and Dieter Pflaumbaum fulfilled their dream sailing their boat from
Europe to Fremantle. They started on August 27, 2017 from Genova, Italy sailing
their boat along the Italian coast all the way via the Street of Gibraltar, across
the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal, across the Pacific, Galápagos Islands,
Marquesas Islands, the Tuamotus, Society Islands including Tahiti and Bora Bora,
via Niue, Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu to Mackay as the first landfall in Australia. The
ETA in Fremantle will be in September 2018, subject to weather conditions.
To make the organization of the voyage easier and safer they joined the ARC+
Rally across the Atlantic (with 78 boats) from Las Palmas to Rodney Bay, St.
Lucia in the Caribbean. The Arc+ Rally included a stop-over in Cape Verde,
where they enjoyed the local hospitality for a few days, rather than just going
straight across. The passage across the Atlantic was a mixed experience with one
day having nearly no wind, which allowed them to take the sails down and go
for a swim in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The next days entailed strong
squalls with up to 33 kn of wind and heavy rain. They managed the crossing in
15.5 days and achieved the 6th place in their class of the Arc+ Rally.
After celebrating a tropical kind of Christmas, and enjoying some cruising in
the Caribbean Sea, they joined the WorldARC Rally with 35 other yachts. They
experienced the exciting coffee culture of Columbia from growing to roasting
to drinking, which as coffee lovers was very unique. From Santa Marta the rally
continued to San Blas, Panama. They met such interesting local, very friendly
Indians selling fresh fish, lobsters and handicraft, allowing for some rather
extraordinary lobster dinners. Going through the Panama Canal in a three boats’
package was a personal highlight for them, which they will not forget, due to the
history of this unique construction. The next leg of the Rally started in Panama
City to Las Perlas Islands and opened a new chapter of the trip: the Pacific. They
10finished this rally leg in 2nd place. Galapagos Islands with its unbelievable sea
life was incredible. You meet the sea lions on the street or on park benches.
The long-distance leg between Galapagos and Marquesas Islands of 3000 nm
was a new challenge dominated by strong winds, many squalls and lots of rain.
It was rather different from crossing the Atlantic. They arrived after 17.5 days
and came 3rd in the rally. They then cruised six weeks through the amazing
Southern Ocean from the Marquesas Islands to the Tuamotu Archipelago. It was
always a navigational challenge to go through the passages into the lagoons,
as charts were not always reliable, they were told and turned out to be correct.
Another highlight was the visit at a local pearl farm in Ahe. This little pearl farm
on an island so secluded, which at first sight seemed uninhabited but turned
rather literally into one of the Pearl’s of the trip. The Society Islands were very
charming, with the main city Papeete, Tahiti and the last stop in Bora Bora, a
place every sailor should see. These islands have a natural beauty and the crystal
clear water was breathtaking. One was able to see the entire kiel of the boat
from the surface. The next rally from Bora Bora via Suwarrow and Niue to Tonga
was the most difficult passage, they experienced so far. Not only was it one of
the more exciting starts of the WorldArc Rally, but within only a week they hit
2 major storms with 50 kn winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms. However, they
still managed to come 1st in their division on this leg. They were very excited
about this, as one can imagine. Sailing through the beautiful islands of Fiji, the
area was certainly proving to be even more glorious paradise, they did not think
possible. The rally from Fiji to Vanuatu was won in their class. They now made
landfall in Australia, Mackay and are on the way via Darwin to Fremantle where
they look forward to meeting all their friends.

“Ein russischer Sommer”
Ein russischer Sommer ist die Verfilmung eines biografischen Romans des US-
amerikanischen Schriftstellers Jay Parini über das letzte Lebensjahr Leo Tolstois.
Russland, 1910: In seinem letzten Lebensjahr verbringt Leo Tolstoi seinen
Sommer mit seiner Frau Sofia und einigen der gemeinsamen Kinder auf ihrem
Landgut Jasnaja Poljana. Als Sofia erfährt, dass Tolstoi die Rechte an seinem Werk
dem russischen Volk vermachen möchte, beginnt ein hochemotionaler Konflikt
zwischen beiden: Die temperamentvolle Sofia sieht sich und die Kinder als die
rechtmäßigen Erben und Verwalter von Tolstois Werk und versucht mit allen
Mitteln, ihn von seinem utopistischen Plan abzubringen und die Zukunft der
Familie zu sichern. Der geradezu fanatische „Tolstoianer“ und Adlatus Wladimir
Tschertkow wiederum bestärkt Tolstois Idealismus.

“Pippi Langstrumpf”
Pippilotta Viktualia Rollagardina Pfefferminza Efraimstochter Langstrumpf, kurz
Pippi, ist ein neunjähriges Mädchen, welches sich von den anderen Kindern
in ihrem Alter unterscheidet. Sie hebt sich nicht
nur äußerlich durch ihre roten Haare, die in zwei
geflochtenen Zöpfen von ihrem Kopf abstehen, die
zu großen Schuhe und selbst genähte Kleidung von
den anderen Kindern ab, sondern auch im Hinblick
auf ihr Verhalten. Sie ist übermenschlich stark, und
dazu noch reich. Pippi freundet sich mit den braven
Nachbarskindern Tommy und Annika an, die als
Gegensatz zu ihr stehen. Durch Pippis Ideen und
Abenteuer, die sich dadurch erleben, haben die drei
Kinder sehr viel Spaß.
Viel Spass beim Video Nachmittag!

16Table Tennis Club
Our table tennis group is going well and each Tuesday night we have a good
number of members attending and enjoying the facilities and the table tennis
games. New members are welcome and casual members can attend at $5 per
session. Joyce Williams is passing on her table tennis skills to one of our young
club members so if any other young people would like to have a half hour
tutorial on a Tuesday night please let Joyce Williams or David Ramsay know on
the phone numbers mentioned below.
The Rhein Donau Christmas In July function on 7th July was a great night.
Our group offered to help run the event and we decided to organise some light
entertainment. So I would like to thank our volunteers, fondly known as the
Sweet Nutcrackers, David Ramsay, Paul Robson, Dave Smith and Brian Muir for
giving up a fair bit of their time and energy in the rehearsals. They did a great
job on the night and looked pretty cute in their tutu’s! Thanks for the donation
of wine for the door prizes, plus the Christmas cakes supplied by happy cakes.
And thanks to Reinhard for donating the home made linzer torte. Friday night
November 2nd will be our table tennis annual quiz night so please keep the
date in mind. The quiz night last year went off well but we would love a better
turnout this year. All club members are welcome. Our group was so sorry to
learn of the passing of one of our favourite members, Roland Bedrich. He was
a much loved and valued member of our tabletennis group and will be sadly
missed. Our condolences to Kirsti and familyon their sad loss. Roland has a
large extended family and the tributes at his funeral showed how cherished and
respected he was.
My husband and I are off on our European adventure in July/August this year.
It will be our first ever trip to Europe so it is pretty exciting. If there
are any enquiries please contact Joyce Williams on 93164790 or David Ramsay
on 0419695234.

17Neederlandia - The Dutch Club WA
What’s this MAAS & WAAL DRINKS?
Not long ago I had a chat with a lady in the Rhein Donau Club, of which I am
a member myself.This lady asked at some point what this Maas & Waal Drinks
entailed, and “what was this name all about?” A very good question that I hope
many of you would like to see answered.
Many years ago when Neerlandia resided at Cambridge Street in Wembley, our
Committee decided that it would be a good idea to occasionally open the Club
for non-members: Dutch people and their families and anyone who had an
affiliation with the Netherlands or was generally interested in the country and
its people.
The idea was that non-members could drop in for a drink and some traditional
finger food while looking around and getting a feel for the Club. And so, about
9 years ago, Neerlandia introduced itself to the general public with a monthly
event called “End of Month Drinks”. Each last Friday of the month for ten months
a year, Neerlandia would open its doors from 5 – 9pm. This PR initiative grew
from a small group of loyal members gathering in the lounge to a magnificent
gathering of old and young filling both the lounge and the big hall.
The End of Month Drinks became not only a great place to meet friends, to make
new ones and to be introduced to Perth if you were a new comer to the city, this
event was also a great way for Neerlandia to introduce itself in a relaxed way
with the purpose of getting new members – and Neerlandia succeeded in just
that: increased membership.
A Club without members has no future so it was essential for Neerlandia to keep
the End of Month Drinks alive when we moved to the Rhein Donau Club.
We realised that the dynamics of End of Month Drinks would be totally different
in our new environment, we also realised that we most probably would lose
18regular visitors as the Club was now located South of the river. With that
realisation came the idea to change the name of the event. We looked for a name
that rolled of the tongue, which was easy to remember and which also referred
to the current location of the Dutch Club and its cooperation with The Rhein
Donau Club. Rhein and Donau are two big rivers flowing through Germany
and Maas and Waal are two big rivers flowing through the Netherlands. And
so we changed the name of our biggest social event to Maas & Waal Drinks: a
reference to the home country and a token of similarity with our landlord.
The formula of the former End of Month Drinks is still the same: creating a
relaxed environment for members and (their) guests to start the weekend, to
make new friends and for the Dutch Club to introduce itself to non-members.
Maas & Waal Drinks focusses on families as in there are toys available for the
kids to play with whilst in a separate room from 7 pm onwards, board games are
played for and with children in a variety of age groups.
The kitchen opens at 6pm to give patrons a chance to eat before the children start
their play and the parents can chat. Sounds good, doesn’t it? If you are new to
Maas & Waal Drinks, please bring some friends or introduce yourselves to Eric,
Neerlandia’s Presidents or his daughters Nikita and Chloe, who are enthusiastic
hostesses. You will find them at or around table 9. Often you will also find a core
group at table 1; they too, will welcome you warmly.
With your participation on those nights, you not only do yourselves a favour,
you also support Rhein Donau Club and Dutch Club Neerlandia with their
endeavour to carry on bringing their cultural heritage to Perth, not just for now
but for the future too.
We are all looking forward to meeting you.

19WA Mandolin Orchestra
The concert mentioned in the last edition held on the 16th of June at the Calloway
Auditorium at the UWA was a resounding success. Our co-performers the guitar
ensemble “Guitarstrophe“ brought variety and youth to the concert. There is talk
of repeating our collaboration in
the future.
Speaking of the future, WAMO’s
next outing will be a concert
at the Kalamunda Performing
Arts Centre at 4pm on Saturday,
September the 8th. Two soloists
touring in WA at the time will join
us for for this performance.
Duncan Gardiner a Brisbane based guitarist/composer and educator, will join
the Orchestra soloing on a Spanish Concerto.
Masataka Hori a leading Japanese mandolin soloist will contribute in a Vivaldi
Concerto. These two fine musicians will also be performing duets together.
Robert Schulz is in early talks with a major mandolin orchestra in Japan to
organize a tour
there in 2020. If WAMO can’t supply the numbers needed they are usually
bolstered by eager members
from several of the Eastern
States Orchestras.
See you in Kalamunda.

Dear friends,
For those of you who attended our Vienna night - we hope you enjoyed the
evening.
We welcome our patron’s ideas to help and make this event bigger and better
in the future.
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Greetings to all our friends who could not be present.
Auf Wiedersehen, Servus, Ciao, Fritzi Waters
Das kann dauern
Von einer kleinen Menge abgesehen, die verbrannt worden ist, hat sich der
gesamte Kunststoff, der bisher weltweit produziert wurde, erhalten. Es dürfte
sich überschlagend um etwa 1,6 Milliarden Tonnen handeln, differierend
durch Zugabe von Weichmachern, Lichtstabilisatoren, Füllmaterial, Festiger,
Trübungsmittel, Farben. Wahrscheinlich haben unterschiedliche Kunststoffe eine
unterschiedliche Lebensdauer, aber verschwunden ist bisher keiner von ihnen!
Auf Mülldeponien vergraben, sind Kunststoffe von Licht, Wasser und Sauerstoff
geschützt, am Meeresgrund werden sie von Sedimenten bedeckt und durch
Sauerstoffmangel und Kälte konserviert. Experten schätzen, dass es zwischen
10,000 und 100,000 Jahre dauern wird, bis Mikroorganismen einen Stamm
hervorgebracht haben, der die biochemischen Mechanismen zum Abbau der
Polymere entwickelt hat. In größeren Zeiträumen werden auch geologische
Geschehnisse dafür sorgen, dass sich die Stoffe verändern.
21Edelweiss Dancegroup
Hello members!
The Dance Group has had a busy few months since our dance in May. Since
the children performed so admirably at the Mai Dance, the group is progressing
into more difficult dances. Some of the boys are joining the senior dancers to
learn the art of schuplattler, and the younger girls are starting to practice with the
ladies on the bells. We have very talented and enthusiastic children in the group
and are excited to see how they mature as dancers.
This time of year the group is focussed on learning new dances, and reviving old
ones to share at our next group dance, the Alpengaudi, the clubs Oktoberfest,
and also Volkstanzfest, our biennial celebration with dance groups from all over
Australia. We plan to perform dances that we have not done for over 15 years,
so it is definitely worth coming to some of our events to see what is happening!
Alpengaudi will be on the 18th August this year. We have a fun night of dancing,
games and music in plan for everyone! In the spirit of making the club more
accessible to a wider audience, ticket sales for this dance will be available
online at http://bit.ly/Alpengaudi2018 exactly the same way that you make your
Oktoberfest ticket purchases. If you have any issues, please contact the club
office.
The group practices on Sunday
afternoons. If you are interested in
joining the group, please contact
us via our group leader Daniel-
details are found in the back of
this newsletter.
See you on the dance floor,
Rebecca, EDG Secretary

23Eagle Eye Air Pistol Group
Things started off in 2017 with not much change then in November along came
4 visitors from the Whiteman Park Pistol Club all members of WAPA (West
Australian Pistol Association Inc) asking us how could they help?
Possibilities of increased membership, Junior Shooters and Women Shooters
creating a family atmosphere, needed to change the day of the week to when
the Rhein-Donau kitchen was serving meals in Karl’s Bar that meant changing
times to use the range in the Sports Hall.
The wheels were set in motion by applying to the Committee of the Rhein-
Donau Club Inc for permission to alter our day and shoot every week if possible.
February 2018 Murray Bow, Joanne Muir, Mike Guistiniano, Carolyn Guistiniano,
Phil Kroczek attended the range and on 2nd March joined the Pistol Group.
Then came Mikayla Hatten a Junior shooter, Simon Bow and in June, Alf and
Merilyn Rosenauer from the Cockburn Pistol Club brought the membership from
5 to 14.
On the weekend of the 28th-29th WAPA held its Conference and AGM for 2018
in the Sport Hall. Venue and meeting well accepted by all. On May 28th National
Come & Try May Shooting all disciplines organised by Shooting Australia in
partnership with National Rifle Association Australia and Target Rifle Australia
24Ltd was the allocated day for our pistol group to host the event. Laser Pistols
were on hand and were popular with all ages from the age of 5 upwards. They
are used to introduce pistol shooting and are taken to schools and pony clubs
because there aren’t any projectiles involved. There were 13 shooters registered
on the day hope for more members. This notice was not available to appear in
the June-July issue of the magazine because too late in the month.
Congratulations to the shooters who competed in the competitions in Geraldton
and Boyup Brook. Mikayla won a trophy at each venue and Jo won Women’s
Air Pistol at Boyup Brook.
I am sure there will be many more competing in the future from the Air Pistol
group. Junior Shooters keep an eye on them they are the foundation of the
future champions I am sure not only National but also International under the
experienced coaching of Mike Guistiniano and Murray Bow.
Of course don’t forget the up and coming Women Shooters.
The new Committee members for 2018/2019 of the Eagle Eye Pistol Group are
President/Group Leader:- Phil Kroczek, Secretary:- Angus Selman,
Treasurer:- Murray Bow, Scorer/Handicapper: Jo Muir, 3 Committee Persons:-
Mike Guistiniano, Carolyn Guistiniano, Alf Rosenauer
Retiring Group leader George Abfalter and Secy/Treasurer Cherry Alford and the
outgoing Committee wish all the members of the Air Pistol Group the very best
for the future this year is going to be a busy one. Enjoy the camaraderie that we
have experienced over the years.
Finally but not least thank you to the Air Pistol Group for awarding me Life
Membership I have enjoyed being a member.
Looking forward to seeing the members building the Group and achieving their
goals.

Well on our way, most repairs done, and the new project well on its way. The
biggest problem is how do we get the smaller/shorter people get to see it all?
The electric/train running groups have again added to increasing the number of
trains running concurrently, which should now be well in excess of 20.
We are look forward to having many people visiting us again, and, perhaps,
