		AGM last night 15 November 2023After our formalities with the AGM were attended to, we were delighted to hear from our guest speaker, Chris Bennett. Chris spoke about his book Roy Boy which was several years in the making. It is about his life in Fitzroy from a very early age with lots of wonderful anecdotes including a few brushes with the law. Chris' parents emigrated from Greece and they worked hard, owning and operating a local fish and chip shop. Whilst a lot of folks did not have money, I gather that they did have a strong community, something we need to keep aspiring to. Thanks for the lively talk Chris.
