Approximately 20 happy and joyous people attended the COCC lunch last Tuesday. Coupons were a plenty, couples were in the main, buy one get one free was the order of the day!

Young councillor, (unnamed) was lonesome in his attendance and ordered a lone meal, only to find the arrival of another lone person(unnamed but COCC would not be surprised to find him at an auction right up the front.)

Both of these gentleman approached the sweet young person taking the meal orders, to arrange for the free meal for the late arrival. You would think that these two learned gentleman would possess excellent negotiation skills, but alas the sweet young person bluntly told them to rack off!!! The coupons were no use to these lone horseman.

The meal was generally good, the flounder spent too much time out of the oven and was floundering to find some warmth. The calamari was tender and the Hamburgers were a lot bigger than ones mouth!!

Apologies were but few, with better offers as the excuse, little did they know but all happy and joyous people left the establishment with gleeful smiles on their dials.

I am aware that people are waiting with bated breath for news of the CC lunch and its location. Dates have been supplied, the location remains unknown.

The COCC is back, thanks mini COCC for organising the outing one before.

Yours sincerely

Club visit to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute

The visit has been arranged for 27 July commencing at 6pm and lasting about 60-70 minutes after which we will adjourn to a restaurant for dinner.

The Institute has advised as follows:-

“Please let me know if there is a particular area of research that you would like to hear about during the tour. The areas of research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute include cancer, including breast, lung, ovarian, prostate, colon and blood cancers; immune disorders such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and celiac disease; and infectious diseases such as malaria, hepatitis B and HIV. As part of the tour you can meet with a scientist that researches in your area of interest, hear about their research and tour through their laboratory. The tours usually run for approximately one hour, and also include an overview of the history and other research areas at the institute.”

The institute is located at 1G Royal Parade, Parkville (behind the Royal Melbourne Private Hospital). There is limited car parking on their forecourt, and more parking available in the Royal Melbourne Hospital car park beside the institute.
