Message from the Chairman

How pleasing it was to see a

significant number of

Tasmanians recognised in

the Queen’s Birthday

honours list. This is a

substan�al increase in

numbers compared with

some previous lists.

It is an�cipated that our Post

Inves�ture Dinner on the evening of 27th September

at The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania will be much

larger with the increase in the number of new

recipients to be congratulated for their awards and

welcomed to the Associa�on.

We will be very pleased to welcome and introduce our

recently elected Na�onal President of The Order of

Australia Associa�on, Mr Ross Adler AC who will be

a/ending with his wife and will be our guest speaker.

It is expected that there will be a larger number of

a/endees at the dinner so I suggest that early

bookings will be desirable. I will look forward to

seeing you there.
