On the 20th March 2023, at 10.30am  10 of our members meet at the “Shellcove Marina” Shellharbour and were taken on a tour of Police Launch “VICTOR” which included short trip on the Launch, with Police Crew, “Josh, Mick and Dan”  looking after our members and explaining the Water Police Operations. Unfortunately the weather on this day was “wet” however our members enjoyed the experience.(attached is a photo of the group which included, Chris Berry, Alan Hodge, Bev & Steve Byrnes, Dave & Julie Routledge, Barry Smith, Bob Cocksedge, Terry Wall and Beryl Hammond.). This group then dined at the Marina for Lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
