Raise a glass to toast Ross wishing him a very happy 90th birthday. Ross has been a wonderful member of our club for 25 years and for 17 of those years run a popular Night Owls competition. When I first became a member Ross welcomed and encouraged me, which I appreciated.
Congratulations to the team that competed in Bronze North. They finished on top after the minor rounds and went on to win the grand final against Willunga at Hawthorn on April 14. Thank you to our band of loyal supporters who braved a very cold night.
