Bill VK4ZD continues to make his mark on his new club Gatton & Lockyer
Valley,
having been put in charge of Fund Raising. Henk's District had raised
$250K for
Altzheimers Relief, doubled by the local authority. Klaus hopes to
visit Australia
in September, touring up to Gatton at least. Bill CV was warning about
kangaroos
versus cars Bill ZD mentioned 3 or 4 'roos jumping outside their
windows, "making
themselves at home" Bill CV might go up to Gatton and meet Klaus
there. After all
it's only a thousand miles or so and CV is only 91 !
