Each week, Alan Joyce delivers about a dozen copies of this newsletter to a distribution point at Faggs Mitre 10 Hardware in Geelong. Many club bulletins are shared in this way as members collect and drop off bulletins and this is how we find various bulletins on our table at our meetings. Thanks Alan for doing this job for a number of years.
