Newly-arrived Addison

Before Crystal departed on maternity leave,

the branch held a ‘pink’ farewell sundowner

for members to wish her well.

“There was some resistance from a few

builders to wearing pink, so they brought

pink balloons instead,” says Ms Gilleland.

“The branch will induct the new little staff

member on Crystal’s return next year.”

Darryn Oostalam and Alec Haskind took the

honours on a perfect day at the Riverview

Country Club.
