Background:
First year member Harry Sweeney’s wife Jo had a sister who lived in Frankston, not far out of Melbourne at the commencement of the Mornington Peninsula. They visited Frankston on several occasions over the years and prior to Harry’s year as Sunrise President in 1992-93, he had visited Frankston Sunrise for a ‘make-up’.
Bleuy  - David Bellette (dec) was Frankston Sunrise’s Charter President in 1990-91 and passed away after some period of illness in Jan 2018.
Harry formed an association with several of the members as was his way, particularly Bluey and thus the relationship was subsequently formally established.
 
Exchange of Gavels:    
Club gavels were exchanged during a visit there by Ian Thomas in July 1992 with then Frankston Sunrise President Paul McCallum (dec).
