Tanker Plumbing Diagram
Peter Jenkinson had produced the attached diagram some time ago, and it has recently been unearthed again.
It might be useful as a refresher and for those still trying to get their head around setting up for draughting.

Things of interest
Dear Auxiliary members and friends,
It was really good to see so many at last night's meeting and pizza night.
I'm attaching a flier with a scan of the quilt that we discussed last night. Kay has kindly agreed to sell tickets at Workin' Clobber so can you please support the raffle by buying your tickets there or collect a book of tickets from Kay or Lois to sell yourselves.
The Remnants Craft Group made two quilts last year - one for us and one for Dixons Creek and members are interested in being kept up to date with its progress. Dixons Creek had a "blind auction" and raised $1000 - Fergusson Winery won it and now have it on display. Half that amount would be really nice!
David has asked me to let you know that it looks like the Brigade is getting a new vehicle to replace Tanker 1 hopefully before the end of the year. The vehicle is a 3.4D crew cab. This four wheel drive vehicle holds 3500 litres of water compared with our present truck's 2000 litres. This state of the art truck is currently at Caroline Springs.

NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
27 May 2010 to 3 June 2010
National Reconciliation Week is an important time for all Australians. It is the practice to mark National Reconciliation Week with the flying and display of the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
The two dates are significant in the history of reconciliation. The 27th of May is the anniversary of the date of the 1967 Referendum which successfully removed from the Constitution clauses that discriminated against Indigenous Australians. The 3rd of June is the anniversary of the High Court decision in the Eddie Mabo land rights case handed down in 1992. The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2010 is ‘Reconciliation: Let’s see it through!’ and highlights the 10th anniversary of the bridge walks.
Throughout the week, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag should be flown on additional flagpoles, where available.
If there is only one flagpole available at a station the Australian Aboriginal Flag or the Torres Strait Islander Flag should not replace the Australian National Flag. But if two flagpoles are available, it is at the discretion of the authority concerned to determine which of the two flags is flown with the Australian National Flag. The Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag have equal status and may be flown in any order after the Australian National Flag.
Your assistance is appreciated.
