Cluster Meeting 20th October 2016
 No meeting at Holm Park this week as  the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills hosted a Cluster Meeting.  A very enjoyable time was has at the Dandenong Workers Club.
 
Berwick had a good show of members attending along with members from Narre Warren and Alan Collier (AG) from Dandenong.  Endeavour Hills also inducted 2 new members on the night.
 
Guest speaker Greville Pabst from WBP Property Group gave us many insights into the investment property market.  He basically said to buy close to the city in the right location.  The land is the most important component and be wary of large apartment towers.
 
He is currently part of the Chanel 9 show "The Block".  He said that it is one of their better ones with an amazing art deco building an the contestants have built quality apartments.
