Since the last newsletter the Committee have been planning for the WA Branch AGM & Excellence Awards night, held on August 27 at Fremantle Sailing Club.

At the AGM all standing members we re-elected but sadly Damiano Montagnese has had to step down from the Committee following his relocation to Cape Care in Busselton. We thank Damiano for his contribution and look forward to seeing him at future events.

Your WA Branch Committee for the coming year is:

 Chair              Cheryl Hughes

Secretary         Calum Mcleod

Treasurer         Vivek Shetty

Committee      Carey Bray

                       Tony Rutherford

Paul Steele

The WA Branch Excellence Awards was again a great night, with 50 members, supporters and finalists attending. Our Supporters in attendance were invited to spend a few minutes each to talk about their business before presenting one of the awards.

Congratulations to all our finalists and of course to our winners who you can read about elsewhere in this issue.

We still have a few events coming up before the end of the year, so look out for the emails.

Look forward to seeing you all at the National Conference in Hobart.
