The 2009 Season Meeting was held back at the Loddon River just near Serpentine.

Excellent facilities were available and our thanks goes to our host Farmer Anthony and his family for the site.

The shooting was poor

Our President for the last year Carlo, handed the honour over to Cade (left) our youngest president after Costa gracefully declined his nomination in favour of instilling more youth into the clan.

Costa was elevated to the status of "Legend Elder", for the guile and wisdom he has handed down the clan members over the years and also the fact he makes a mean Pasta Fagioli.
The Presidential speech was made and the offical presidents hat handed over. Next year goals were set and the President promised not to lose the hat.

Costa was elevated to "Legend" Status, the original 5 Johnsons, Marco, Doug,Greeny, Robbo & Carlo were elevated to Elder status.
It was agreed that the minimum age for a president was 21 (unless she wore a thong).
It was also agreed that new members must ber in for at least 2 years before being voted president.
2009 words to be added to the Johnson dictionary A4 folio and Totonka

Jannan was elected to the role of "Sergeant at Arms", his duties including the protection of the CEO and the elders with his life. It was soon realised that after he tried to set off a bomb ( a shotgun cartridge) by pressing the cap with his finger that we may have made a mistake. If any elder or CEO is injured by a low flying duck in the next 12 months Jannan's commission may be revoked. Jannan also gained the nickname "Major Payne" due to his incessant comments about the pain he inflicted before the weekend.

Daryl was acknowledged as the Johnson Clan Member who would be most missed at a weekend.

Travis was unusually quiet this year, but made up ground at the Johnson council meeting where he was the secretary taking the minutes of the meeting. We have sent the minutes off for interpretation and Yooralla have promised to have them back as soon as they work out what the stuff it all is. Doug and Greeny got caught up in the moment one night and did their "Dances with Wolves" interpretation. Daryl had a scared look on his face at what he was witnessing. Now the bastard knows how we all feel when he tells his stories of families and friends. Speaking of Daryl he relayed a story of how he broke his 70 year old aunties hip, this only confirmed his status as the scariest but most loved member of the clan. Marco & Robbo were about to call 000 as they both thought the other was about to have a heart attack. The constant laughter was so annoying vido and pauly so much they got up out of bed and joined in.

Saeed spent most of the time in his car, we assume he was sleeping but he may have been studying his corresponance bomb making course. Simba came along for maybe her last trip as she is 14 now (98 in dog years, almost as old as greeny). Saeed continued to call out her name and she continued to ignore him. Silvio had a name change and will no lnger be known as "KB" (Koala Bear) he has requested he be known from now on as "Deeks", apparently it has something to do with marathons !

Vido bought along a smoke detector and continued to test it all weekend, apparently his dog is "Smokey the bear". Pauly bought along a fold up motel, complete with 42" plasma and vibrating bed. Several of us wanted to try it out but were afraid once inside we would not be able to find the exit. Carmelo bought his phone and had sex with it all weekend.

Brad was along this weekend with Slubber and Andrew. It was good to see Brad as apparently he has been along a few times but no-one remebers seeing him. This year he didnt wear the "Invisible" cammo gear every where. Slubber's cooking was as usual outstanding

Others in attandance Ben & Daniel Green, Matt & Scotty Lardener, Anthony (cades brother), Travis's Brother Chuck, Jannan's Mate Frenchy, Carlo's Dad Peter and Anthony the Farmer.

All in all a good weekend and all of the Johnsons bylaws were strictly adhered to,

Drink too much, Eat too much, Talk a lot of Shit, Sex and Religion and generally laugh at life.

CEO - Greeny
