Chinese Restaurant in Murray Bridge (our
clubs patrons). The Annual Trophies were
presented by SAPC President Jenny Roland and this year adult members
were presented with medallions and the junior members with trophies.
                                            2019 was a busy year for a number
                                     of our members in the organization side of
                                     club activities, administrations etc. With an
                                     increasing number of members, the society
                                     has found itself in need of finding a larger
                                     room       to
                                     meet, and
                                     with thanks
                                     the society,
was able, through the local council to find a
building to share with other groups.
         We thanked two retiring members for
their effort over the many years of service as
                                 Alan Stone and
                                 Robert Phaup
                                 have decided
                                 to step down from all formal activities to allow
                                 newer members to take the helm of the
                                 society. Alan has been the President for the
                                 society for over thirty years and was involved
                                 with reforming the society in 1979.
                                         This year marks the 40th year.
