Around 50 members and guests attended the first function at Flynns Irish Bar in the heart of Townsville for 2020 on Saturday 31 October 2020. Flynn’s has been a ‘traditional ‘ watering hole for members in NQ, particularly on ANZAC Day. So it was great to be able to repay Flynns and have a function to support a local business. With great company and plenty of beers on tap, everyone was able to mingle from a safe distance of course!

With COVID19 restricting events this year, we’ve been very lucky to be able to hold four functions in 2020. Our next function is the RAEME Birthday at Lavarack Barracks timings to be confirmed in the next edition of Friday Files.

A big thank you to our Committee in Townsville Doug, Mick, Tank and Brian for organising the function, and of course Mr Steve Flynn, owner of Flynn’s Irish Bar for hosting the afternoon for the NQ members in Townsville.
