Perth Luncheon

The popular and well attended monthly luncheons for RAOTC members and friends in and around Perth are held on the second Tuesday of each month. The VK6 RAOTC group has a new venue, the Woodbridge Hotel, East Guildford
.
We will meet at 11.30 am for lunch at 12 midday. This is not a buffet meal, but excellent food, in both pensioner and standard portions, are available. We would like to place the orders at 12 midday so please don't be late.

We would appreciate as many of you as possible attending as we have booked for 20 with provision for more if needed. The rail passes 250 metres away and the station to disembark is East Guildford with a short walk over the railway crossing to reach the pub. Plenty of parking in the carpark and in Water St ( known as Bushmead Rd if coming from the east)

Other venues are always open to consideration; however It is important that any new venue is very close to a railway station for those who come from Mandurah and South Geraldton. Any queries please direct them to Phil VK6ZKO. The booking with the hotel is made in the name of the RAOTC .Phils email address is -:
