At 4.10 pm on Friday, 20th January, 1984, David Rostron, Craig Austin, Ray and Fusae Dargan and Malcolm Steele boarded one of East-West Airlines new F28 Jets destined for Devonport, Tasmania. (Return Apex fare $197.50) After a short delay caused by air traffic congestion at Mascot the jet was accelerating down the runway to its liftoff.

The meeting began at 1955 hours with the President in the chair persistently gonging the gong to subdue the gathering of some 35 or so members and declare the meeting open.
