Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editors’ Report
We hadn’t attended an AGM for a few years, with March our preferred month for big trips because the Covid has always seemed to drop its guard coming out of summer and we had not experienced any restrictions. Late April is this years’ big trip so off we went to the Geebung Polo Shirt Club to welcome in the new Journal editors. My recollection after one of those huge RSL glasses of red is that we won the vote comfortably over Rupert Murdoch, so thanks to the members for placing their trust in us once again and recognising Rupert was going to get son Lachlan to do all the work and he doesn’t own a BMW. Some great stuff sent in to kick off the year, including a brilliant “big trip” packing list from Liezel Samuel. We think we can do better though for our trip kicking off at the Cane Toad, anything more than half a pair of underpants and one sock is just gross Western materialism, and will cut into the number of pairs of shoes we need. Can’t do less than 8 pairs evenly split between formal, casual, dancing, and beach. The next few months will be challenging for the large BMWMCQ editorial staff, both executive and casual, on the timing front as well as the shoe packing front. We need to get May’s Journal out by the 21st April as we are heading off the next day, and we won’t be back until the nearly the end of May. So a very early May and a late June Journal will be the likely best case scenario for the two after this - anything you could contribute early this month would be most appreciated. You know we maintain the highest standards of journalist conduct, even Steve Johnson’s cat Mr Tummybutton knows we can’t just make things up.
