The Collendina Hotel burnt to the ground in the early hours of this morning.
Bob Smith was one of the first to arrive at the scene, and with great courage and blistered hands, managed to salvage our gong.
Several empty jerry cans, smelling of petrol, were discovered nearby, but Bob has warned us not to jump to any hasty conclusions.
CFA will report the conflagration to the appropriate authorities, as soon as the station opens at 9.15 [AM]
An interesting situation arises with the salvage of the contents of the hotel coolroom, in which it was discovered approximately 60
lamb shanks, all stamped with the letters RCOG. Secy Vic. rushed to the scene to rescue our two microphones, which, at first sight,
appear blacker than usual.

At last night's briefing for the world's biggest Seafoodfest at Queenscliff, we were asked to man not one, but two serving sites.
If you weren't able to volunteer for duty, but now find you can, please turn up for duty tomorrow morning at 0900 in the Queenscliff
Park with your very own long tongs [if you own any]. Several partners have already joined our team, and more will be welcome.
It will be a huge, but very satisfying day. Don't forget to wear your Rotary gear.
