Comments: Phil & Joyce. I can assure you us NSW members of the Qld Vindicatrix Assn got just as much pleasure of meeting you two as you did us, it was a pity your stay was so short as I'm sure some of us would have liked to have shown you around, but we thought it was our duty to have given you the ROYAL TREATMENT, I thought it was funny the Barmaid at Monty's REMEMBERED YOU?. and I'll say NO more, again it was great to have caught up with you, Alan G, from Sunny Sydney,

Comments: In reply to Phil Hughes guestbook entry, I would say it was with great pleasure we met for the first time and instant friends. We felt quite honored to have such a distinguished and highly regarded Vindi achiever visit us and allow us to show him and his lovely wife Joyce around our neck of the woods.

Comments: You will have read on these pages of the sad passing of my father, George Griffiths (George from "perff"). I wanted you all to know that Dad was very proud to be a part of the Vindi Association, and through it made many new friends as well as discovered old mates from his time at sea. Thank you all for you kind support and thoughts over the last few days. Stephen Griffiths
