Report:
The members were delighted to welcome back Gary Golding (until he won the footy competition). Gary still has a long way to go but with his positive attitude we are also confident for him.
Visitors (carrying a bottle of red) always welcome.
Peter Cullen reported that Alison George had come through her operation very well. More news in coming weeks
Annual fees of $185 are now due. See Fred before he sees you!
The DG changeover luncheon was well attended particularly by our members and partners.
Well controlled by Trevor McArdle and everyone returned home before dark! (Just!)
The highlight was, obviously, the excellent and humorous speech given by our own DG. A great start to Helen's and our challenging year.
Bookings for the events on Saturday at our conference will be requested soon. Either the Blues Train or the Ferry. Expected cost $90.
Our sergeant conducted a Quiz instead of a fine session. Modesty prevents me listing the names of Rotarians at the winning table.
