The Convention was attended by 239 delegates representing 34 Clubs from around Australia; Hamilton, Kapiti, Marlborough and Wellington in New Zealand; and Tokyo, Japan.
The Friday night registration and welcome was held at Frazer’s Restaurant in Kings Park, a spectacular setting overlooking the picturesque Swan River. This provided the opportunity for delegates to sample the wines from a number of Western Australian wineries.
The Business Session was well attended. Several topics were raised and discussed including:
- A review of the Affiliation Fees
- Public Liability insurance
- A proposed Bronze Medallion for clubs less than 25 years old
- The costs to delegates of future Conventions
- A Convention evaluation and feedback form
The Saturday lunch was held in the Matilda Bay Restaurant with a wonderful view of the marina and Swan River.
The Gala Dinner held on Saturday evening was in the Government House Ballroom, a most impressive venue. Five courses were served accompanied by a wonderful selection of Western Australian wines.
The Sunday farewell commenced with a cruise on the Swan River to Fremantle and then onto the “Oyster Bar on the Beach” at Port Beach for a casual lunch overlooking the Indian Ocean and accompanied by great company and a jazz band.Congratulations to the Perth and West Coast Clubs on organising a most enjoyable Convention.
