A RECENT article in the Herald informed readers that Fremantle Buffalo Club members are not patronising the club as once they did. No-one has put their finger on the underlying reason for the fall-off in visitations despite the fact hospitality remains as always splendid to say the least and the “door is ever open” as it were.
The same may be said of the Buffalo Lodge which meets monthly upstairs of the club. The Lodge membership has been decimated by the demise of seven brothers over the past two to three years and now faces extinction unless an influx of new members is achieved. How do we go about encouraging others to join us on an odd Sunday afternoon for two hours or so of conviviality and harmony?
Collins English Dictionary defines communication as the “exchange of information, ideas or feelings.” What better place to be so involved than among brothers willing to listen and converse, enjoying the chance to talk at your level?
This is just one of the advantages of becoming a Buffalo. To join the RAOB and avail yourself of this pleasure will cost nothing but time and the opportunity of adding another string to your bow, which in return is guaranteed to broaden your outlook on life and increase your circle of friends to an unbelievable extent, including many from distant parts of the state and further, as well as on your own doorstep. Other advantages include the knowledge that being a Buffalo ensures you of assistance if and whenever you find yourself in dire straits. You will also be able to support in some small way, selected charities through participation in regular diverse Lodge activities and will never ever be embarrassed whatever your current status may be. Conversation with one or more who are known to you as being Buffaloes will confirm all this and enlighten you to what it means to “chase the Buffalo”.
Don’t delay—join today!
