Well, some BIG news this week. Many of you would have heard by now we will be saying goodbye to CFI John next week as he prepares to take to the skies and a new opportunity up on Horn Island. We would like to wish John all the best with his new adventure, It has been wonderful having him at the Club, and he has been a very positive and encouraging role model for our younger students.

Hello from ITALY! ๐ต๐..Gerry Mussen Hi Friends and Family, Now approaching 3 weeks since our departure, and it’s been bloody hot every day here – around 35ยฐ in Saronno (Milan), and 28ยฐ up here at Moena in the Dolomite mountains north of Verona. So far plenty of walking (golf and mountain tracks), sightseeing, and far too much eating and drinkingโผ Just a few photos to show our surroundings: * On the golf course with Simone * View from her apartment at Moena * Ready for a beer and lunch at Lago Aleghe * A modern building in Milano, with greenery for its residents. We’re enjoying catching up with Valentina (18) and Lornezo (22), and of course Alex and Simone who are wonderful hostsโฆ. Trust all is well with you at home, with our best wishes, Marg & Gerry.
