Importantly, the camaraderie shown at all these meetings is a beautiful thing for me to observe and why these meetings are critical to our culture here in SA. I was fortunate while on my trip to the West Coast to be invited to the Marina Hotel to a function hosted by Oatley Wines, with Pikes Wines promoting their beautiful wines with a wonderful dinner provided by the Marina. It was a fantastic event and wonderful to meet and hear the history of the Pike family. OFFICE NEWS For those that may not be aware, CEO Ian Horne retired on Friday 7 July. Plenty has been said and will continue regarding Ian’s achievements spanning five decades. The wheels will continue to roll with new CEO, Anna Moeller, taking the reins. On behalf of all the team within the AHA|SA and Gaming Care, we wish Anna all the best. It was great to catch up with Ian “Ravo” Ravenscroft at the Yorke Peninsula regional.
