Guest Speaker March 4th 2026
President Elect Bob Hall.
Bob is a retired Policeman, former CGG councillor and former President of Geraldton Lions Club. He reports on the recent President's Elect Training Seminar (PETS) in Perth.
The PETS training took place at the old Gateway Inn in Irwin St, Perth with a diverse range of Rotarians represented by both individuals and groups.
Many of the metropolitan clubs are struggling to maintain membership numbers.
There was considerable discussion about the creation and utilisation of satellite clubs.
The PETS session stressed the importance of Rotary activities outside club meetings.
The question of clubs amalgamating was discussed.
Rotary procedures and policies were also prominent topics.
Questions from Grant Woodhams and Bob Urquhart, vote of thanks by Ian Taylor.
President elect Bob Hall represented our Club at Geraldton Universities Centre (GUC) on March 19th for the Hollomby Foundation scholarship announcements. We have contributed $5,000 this year. A final year Bachelor of Education (teaching) student, Maryka Connolly, is the recipient. We hope to have her at one of our meetings in the near future.
