PRESIDENT
Stephen Beal
I have proudly served Plympton Glenelg RSL as Treasurer from 2000 to 2024, and as President since November 2024.
I served in the Navy from January 1974 to November 1995 and transitioned as Chief Petty Officer. I served on HMAS Adelaide in the first contingent to the Gulf War 1990.
I previously worked as AMP Financial Planner and Mortgage Broker in Adelaide CBD for 10 years until 2020. I owned my own wine tour business for 3 years until COVID shut it down. I still work occasionally in McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley at various wineries with the many tasks required in a winery. I love travelling and getting out into the garden and reading when I have the time and am a passionate Collingwood supporter and love my cricket.
VICE PRESIDENT

Paul ‘Tich’ Tyson OAM, served in Vietnam in the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps.
