G’day Lounge Lizards,

I am sorry for not been an active participant on the forum for the last couple of months. Since I got into remission two months ago, I have been flat-out with catching up with my life again!

Literally, I have been flat-out like a lizard drinking with ex-service/veterans claims and getting up at 4.30am every morning taking my 13 year old daughter to her 5.00am to 7.00am swim squad training and then to her 4.00pm to 6.00pm swim squad training.

At the same time I have been flat out trying to organise media and members in my area to set-up a coffee meet and greet place for ex-servicemen and women.
Finally, after reading our story on the new Veterans’ coffee club in Saturday’s local newspaper and on the local news, I looked forward to the officially kick off our new idea on Tuesday just gone.

It had been a 3 and a half year journey for me with my own personal health issues and with so many of our Veterans suffering from various psychological illnesses in and around the Coffs Harbour area, I just had to do something to help these folks!

However trendsetters, PTSD are not just confined to our ex-military personnel but also our Ambulance service, Firefighters and Police force members as well. This is the main reason for why I decided I had to do something for my community.

On Tuesday our new drop in coffee club was an absolute success, I would like to personally thank everyone that turned up and secondly I was stunned by how many attended from 9.30 to 12.30pm. Just as I was about to leave at 11.45am 5 more folks turned up. A total of 30 attended. I also received e-mails and phone calls from 10 other folks who had to pull out at the last minute, however they advised me that they will be in attendance at future meetings.

I was stunned by the generous offer made by one of our Veterans that gave me a cheque for a thousand dollars. Has advised, those monies donated towards the coffee club!

PS, hopefully now, I can participate with the forum again!

Kind regards,

PMC

Great work with the coffee club Paul, sounds like a top idea.
I know what it like with taking kids to swim squad training, all 3 of my kids did it when they were younger, i hope your daughter does well with it.

G'day 93patrol,

I am hoping to have my GU 4.2 diesel patrol wagon ready for sale in the next two weeks, hopefully by then I will be chasing up a TI GU 4.8 auto wagon.

Regards,

Paul
