A hot one for this year’s South Coast Xmas party at The Pelican Restaurant on the shores of St Georges Basin, with awards and prizes galore!

Keith Monaghan praised the South Coast Chapter Convenors, both past and present, and all of our members for their enthusiasm and participation in the club and its activities during the past 5 years.

And wait, there's more, more prizes….
