MEETINGS ARE HELD ON THE FOURTH MONDAY
OF THE MONTH AT THE WAVERLEY RSL

The Waverley RSL is located at 161 Coleman Parade, Glen Waverley, and is conveniently situated opposite the Glen Waverley railway station.  The RSL car park is free but you need to display a ticket on your dashboard
(obtainable from reception) or use the public car park opposite.

We hold our monthly meetings in the well-appointed “Sunset Room” at the RSL – easy access is provided by an adjacent lift.  A list of our upcoming meeting are listed below.  Meetings start at 7.00 pm.

The “Warramunga Restaurant” opens at 5.30 pm and a number of members and guests take the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing meal and a few drinks before the meeting. Our Secretary Lynda Gilbert coordinates the booking of tables, so please let her know in advance by email if you are intending to join us for dinner.

If joining us for the first time, please let us know when you plan to visit by contacting Andrew Mackinnon and we will ensure you are made welcome.

The Chapter produces a newsletter called the ‘Three-Headed Dog’, containing a variety of articles of interest.  Edited by Andrew Mackinnon, this is published 11 times a year and is distributed by email (preferably) or
in hard copy if needed.  Victorian members receive this free of charge.
