Melbourne 88e'rs, page-109

It was great to meet some of my fellow holders last night for a chat over a few beers. Everyone had a good night and are wanting to arrange another, so we will look to do that maybe when we get some more chunky news to chat about. Great bunch of people from very different walks of life and it was a pleasure to meet each of you.

Big thumbs up for DW turning up to chat with everyone (did try and let you all know there would be some esteemed company ). Those who were there made the effort because they wanted the opportunity to meet fellow shareholders and chat all things 88. It was a very pleasant surprise and a bonus for everyone who turned up, with most in disbelief, that our MD was joining them for a chat over a beer.

As you all know, DW is very approachable and likes to communicate with shareholders of all levels. So DW did a lot of the talking, and we did a lot of listening. He is on a bit of a trip around to the insto's who took part in the last placement to keep them up to date on where things are at. Seems there has been a little bit of leakage from some of these groups, but nothing significant. To be expected I suppose and likely explains some of the selling pressure we have seen recently.

Whilst we did chat for a few hours, as you would expect from someone in his position, there was no discussion of any information that would be deemed price sensitive. I wouldn't expect anything less from DW and that's a part of his character that gives me comfort in the way he runs the business. The other parts of his style that impress me are his upfront comments, what he tells you is how it is, and his conservative nature.

DW did provide information that clarified some things for me, as well as information I was unaware, and I will work on putting a few notes together and post them a bit later on today.

All IMO. DYOR and all that sort of good stuff

cheers
