CALAMITY!
The Malaya Restuarant closed on Friday, the 27th September. The Malaya has been home to the North Sydney mining and exploration fraternity for 28 years and the 1pm Friday lunches will be no more......until Neryl, Trudy and Bill get something new going.
The core group (MIGNS*) was there, as usual, for Lunch at 1pm and then for the finale - Dinner at 7pm. Pictures were taken & will appear here. We have the turtles....
*MIGNS - Mineral Industry Group North Sydney, a close relative and affiliate of the St.Barbara's Day collective whose members are equally distraught.


ANNOUNCING THE BIRTH OF 'MEGWA'
AIG Western Australia has recently given birth to a daughter - Megwa!
Megwa - "Minerals & Exploration Group West Australia"
Note: Late news item - Private investigations into the identity of the father failed to find one and a rumor is circulating that despite the recent Federal Parliament decisions on theraputic cloning, the child is actually a clone of SMEDG. The fact that a previous SMEDG committee member has moved to Perth and is now on the new committee there is considered by Federal Police to be 'suspicious'.
The Christening ceremony is to be held on Tuesday 17th September at Kings Park Tennis Club at 5:30 for 6:00pm (sounds suspiciously familiar doesn't it) where John Davis and Ian Morrison will talk on 'The Jaguar Discovery, South of Teutonic Bore'
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL INVOLVED - It's about time!
