Hi all,
Good to see Margot and Paul Milde back in town for the Food and Wine Festival and today's meeting. The presentation today of an Honorary membership
award is a fitting display of appreciation for the years of good work Paul put in for the Wollundry Club. Ric Priest, the president when Paul joined Wollundry, carried out the presentation with aplomb, with a couple of impromptu membership draws.
Neil Schirmer gave an interesting Members Choice presentation outlining his gap year on a mixed farm in Canada.
A PHF to Gerry Gerlach was presented by President Richard.
As mentioned today, congratulations to The Food and Wine Festival Committee for all their hard work over recent months and over the weekend.
I will be standing down as Chairman during the year of my Presidency, but will remain on the committee. I would also recommend that Peter Mackinnon, who will be my Secretary should step down from the role of Operations manager. The job of Secretary, particularly as a first time exercise is very time consuming and can be demanding. There is plenty of depth within the Club membership to provide replacements. A very comprehensive Committee Job Manual will be compiled now that the festival is over, which will provide excellent support for future Lead House Role participants.
