Merry Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas 2011


I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you mob on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.

The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish us all a heartfelt Peace and hope that we recall
the object of this Season "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"

Merry Christmas to ALL ...

from

Manfred's Mob.

Sorry to hear that Manfred . Hope things improve soon.

Thanks for your interest and dedication and best wishes Manfred, and I think there is one thing all will agree with me ( makes a nice change :lol: ), you have done a fantastic job as APBA President for the last two years.

Funny how everyone starts telling you how good a job you have done when the elections are coming up hey Manny ?


Really mate you are worth your weight in gold and just lucky you are a decent sized bloke hey.


Merry Christmas Manfred.

G'day Manfred,

For all the work, inspiration and encouragement you have given to existing and new members, I thank You.
I hope you have the energy and enthusiasm to continue in your present position (with the ABPA), and to continue to lead us ever onward and up ward.

I hope you and your family have a safe and happy Christmas and an exciting and prosperous New Year.
