I would like to begin by saying it has been a privilege and honour to have served as APEX Mooroopna president for a second straight year. It does however sadden me that through no luck of trying, we members of APEX Mooroopna were unable to attract any new Apexians during the year.
But on the bright side we have had a variety of achievements throughout the year including a successful spinning wheel, with the microphone lasting the whole night. We sponsored five children to compete in Auskick at Mooroopna, special mention must go to Kim for driving these kids each and every Saturday morning to and from the ground. We have also given a variety of donations and our time to many events around Mooroopna and the surrounding community.
There was a variety of social events held throughout the year but my favourite this year has to be the Father/child weekend. I believe its something our kids can remember for many years. But I did learn never to ask an Apexian to tip on a horse, how hard is it to tip a horse to come third?
I would like to thank all members of the club for their contributions, fellowship and support. In particular I extend my gratitude to Kim Banfield – Treasure, Michael D’amour – Vice president and Kevin – IT consultant and club all-rounder. I must make special mention of Michael for his wonderful effort in not handing the books over to the incoming treasure till April this year.
Once again thanks TEAM for a fabulous year and our many meetings at the Royal mail hotel. But I must say I have never seen a publican disappear into thin air so quickly.
Yours in Apex
Will Hemming
President – Mooroopna Apex Club
