Introduction
The numbers for this month’s Meet & Greet were down on our usual turnout. We only had 23 attendees, but all who attended enjoyed themselves as per usual. We were also pleased to be joined by a non-Greenie – Phil (Stretch) Stewart. Phil was an ex-cook/Coxswain/Docky Copper. I was a bit worried that he knew too many of the Greenies, so I’m wondering what they might have got up to in the past And as always, the galley turned on an excellent mixed grill for us.
Apologies outweighed attendees this time around. 27 in all. A mixture of reason – the start of the bowls season, travel (interstate and overseas), the DE reunion in Frankston and unfortunately ill health for an ever increasing number of our shipmates.
And before you ask. The Port Adelaide Naval Association was having a quiz night on Saturday night after our meeting and that’s the reason for all the blow up guitars!!
