- There have been four Paul Harris Fellowships recognized

  Gil Morgan and Jim Ricchini were not present and therefore not given their awards. 

- Two members contributed to the foundation anonymously and their contributions were recognized with a sapphire pin.

- Peter Hawthorne, Wal Kelly and Geoff Chandler were recognised for 130 years of service between them. 

- A short film compiled by Rod Bush showing the work and achievements made by members of the Club during 2017/18 was shown. This confirmed what we knew that we have been busy and productive. It also showed that many of our efforts were full of fun and good humour.
