MINUTES OF LAST MEETING
PP Rick V opened the meeting by welcoming Angela who had returned from Europe and our guest speaker Paul Boulton.

Chris thanked those who had helped with parking for the State Cross Country Championships.  The money raised will be donated to the Precinct Committee.  He will be calling for volunteers for parking at Witta Fest shortly.

It was reported that the calendars should be printed this month.

Guest Speaker Paul Boulton is a "Personal Change Transformation Specialist" who has a shop in Montville Main Street. He spoke on UFO research.

Paul advised that UFO Research Queensland Inc.was established in 1956 is Australia's (and possibly the world’s) longest running UFO research association.  He also stated there were over 50,000 reports of UFO sightings a year worldwide. He then went on to explain how references to UFO’s can be seen in artworks going back thousands of years. UFO sightings have also been reported by some world leaders and many in the military.

Paul is a believer in the well known theories of government conspiracies to hide the truth from the public (to save us from panic) and that he accepts that there are actually seventeen levels of security control in the world that are above that enjoyed by the President of the USA.  He advocates that these
are part of  a human and alien co-operation arrangement.

Finally he said he was working with a Queensland cattle farmer on the unexplained disappearance of some of his cattle and various strange events on his property related to alien activity.

Ric T proposed the vote of thanks.

THE CONDEMNED MAN .....

Ron Chesterfield, 89 years of age, was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.

Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"

Ron replied, "That would be my wife."
