Reconstructed 2009 Calendar

A calendar was issued by the secretary early 2009.  However cancellations early in the year and the loss of data by malware corruption of the secretary's computer by years end, means I've to reconstruct the 2009 calendar.  I only know of another instance where a person with recognition on the Right of politics lost his entire p.c. due to hacker corruption.  Regrettably this person with profile -- Yes(!), by the National Media(sic) -- as I understand failed to backup, this also was secretary Don's undoing.  So what follows is supported by amended issues of the calendar issued by Don Brooke, Don substituted for speakers March and April (due to cancellations) is my recollection.

 MONTH                                                        SPEAKER

April                                     Detective Senior Constable Johansen [1st attendance]
                                             N.S.W. Police Fraud Squad

May                                      Santo Martini
                                             Australian Corporation and Consumer Commission

June                                      The role and function of the N.S.W. Electoral Commission 

July                                       The role and function of the N.S.W. Fire Brigade

August                                   Detective Senior Constable Johansen [2nd invitation]

September                             Reverend Bill Crews *

October                                 Mrs. Bridgette Cox -- C.S.I.R.O.
                                              Food safety and hygiene & the C.S.I.R.O.

*  We who attended A.S.C. should recall that evening, the star attraction advertised by the RSL as "Girls Night Out" MANPOWER a male review -- maybe we (A.S.C. members) should have consulted an astrologer-numerologist?!?!  We might have been mindful thereafter, I believe we knew of the upcoming male review coinciding with our invitation.  Only to say we thought Rev. Crews would be a "draw card", attracting guys disposed to exercise a muscle not dependent on the visual.

2010 and ASC ...

During the year just passed you would have observed (next sentence) and been aware this blog did not exist.  Left clueless as to what could be done to improve attendance till half way through last year.  Though the club gained two gentlemen supporters early on, whilst I phoned members to remind them most months --  failed to attend two meetings due to another commitment over 500km from Sydney.  Whilst away attending to that other commitment -- my last for the year -- a mishap caused a delay of three or more weeks before I could possibly blog.  The blogs should have been advanced according to time line.  Whether the club would have folded or not during the year never arose, why you ask(?).  Because Mr BROOKE HELD IT TOGETHER.  How he did this, it must have taxed his time, from being a student he found employment and confessed to us (A.S.C. members) the job increasingly denied time to research and do other things.  However he managed to put together a number of interesting talks, drawing on his acquired knowledge.   Don carried the club from February through to October -- a meeting missed (as mentioned) the other was March.  John another member gave the last talk for the year in November.

THE SEQUENCE OF DISCOURSES ( as recalled):

-  Forms of Government

-  Jury System

-  Habeas Corpus

-  Terrorism Act

-  Sentencing ( The "scales" of Justice )

-  A.S.I.O.  ( Its Structure and Functions)

-  Women transported to Australia from 1835 ( as mentioned above delivered by John.)

On behalf of other members, myself and the supporters Jim and Michael:  Formally Thanking the two named (Don and John) for extending the forum's life.  I guess next year could be telling, particularly with the publishing of the blogs.  If not may be what has been put down hereby, will be a source for our own A.S.C. Web Site.  Dependent on the secretary and members agreeing, other documentation, for example extract(s) from the club's Articles of Association hereafter be included in a blog; my feeling this or another blog, or similar conveyance, is not desirable?!?!
