Match Report;

Shall leave it up to you to read your chosen newspaper for all the stats. and expert views but know you will enjoy hearing form Keith Chapman. As you all know by now, Keith’s Father, Bert, played for St.Kilda and wore the guernsey No.19.

Keith, his sons and a grandson were invited by the club to visit the rooms and meet the team prior to the match.

Keith repots that he met Sam Gilbert and after a brief speech presented Sam Gilbert with his number 19 gurnsey. Sam is a promising young player about 6 foot two in height. Keith also met and spoke with Grant Thomas, the coach and the former premiership coach Alan Jeans.

Keith has asked me to thank Vanessa Gigliotti, Assistant Communications Officer for taking care of the Chapman Men.

Jenny has spent many hours researching Bert’s career. All articles and photographs will be available on the Joachim website.

Below is a photograph of Shirley and Keith Chapman, you can see where this is taken. Thank you to Ron James, photographer extraordinaire. I shall endeavour to place the rest of the photographs at the end of this newsletter. If I fail, they will come as attachments.

Joachim Website

                                     Have you looked at the “Joachim Website” recently? Merle and Liz continue to add to it. Liz does a great job locating information and we would be lost without Merle’s technical ability and enthusiasm. I’ve said it before but again, “Thank You Ladies”.

I Still Need Your Help.

I still do not have contact details for all family members. The list I am working from is limited to people I am aware of so please pass on this email.

As always, I am endeavouring to contact as many Joachim descendants as possible without compromising your privacy so please email me addresses of family members who wish to be included.

If you would prefer not to be included, please let me know.

Overseas News.

Melissa Joachim says “Hello” to her Family. Attached is a photograph of Tilly. Hope all the Joachim canines enjoy their cousin.

Next Issue.

Please Family, provide me with something to print. You have plenty of time to get it to me as the next issue comes out in September. But, don’t be complacent, write something!

Now keep looking as following are the rest of the football photos. Thanks again Ron as you also did a great job going in and picking up the tickets. Any of the original photos can be emailed to you via Liz or myself.
