A report on the RFCA AGM weekend
March 22, 2006 // 3 Comments
A great weekend followed by an extreme cyclone. The motel where everyone stayed on Saturday night lost its roof in the early hours of Monday morning. Several RFCA members were moved to the evacuation centre.
A wonderful field trip to the Salleras farm on Saturday morning at El Arish provided lots of information. Peter took us in a convoy of utes around his property to view and taste durians, rollinias, rambutans, mangosteens and assorted Borneo fruits. Everyone who attended that day will be wondering how the farm has faired after the cyclone.
Lunch at the El Arish community hall was organised by Maria Williamson with her band of helpers. A great effort with loads of interesting food made from local produce, accompanied by assorted fruit wines from Shannonvale Winery (Tony and Trudi are RFCA members).
The Annual General Meeting was held at 3.00pm and the Mosman Branch Executive were reconfirmed as the executive for the National Executive Council. Reports and Minutes will be posted to this site as they come available.
The Feast of the Senses was held in the main street of Innisfail on Sunday morning, with the cyclone becoming a shadow over the event. The range of stalls was fantastic, and the blue sky and sunny weather made it hard to believe that cyclone larry was hatching out at sea.
