General Business
· The Family Hotel – after some discussion we are looking at manning the barbeque on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th January 2026. Both nights have live music at the venue. We will be using the Family Pub’s barbeque. We have to supply the meat, onion, bread, sauces, cooking and serving utensils for the steak and onion sandwiches/ sausage and onion sandwiches. Any meat not used on the nights, Gemma has noted she is happy to buy the meat off the club and can be used on subsequent nights. Rotary pay for the food and retain all profits. At this stage we are looking at a roster for both nights being a shift from 9:30pm – 11:30pm and 11:30pm – 2:00am.

(It is my understanding the information was sent to all Members about both camps, any members that have a possible candidates for either camp, please let me know).
Our guest speaker was Steve Reilly from Rural Fit and presented a thorough and informative talk on health and exercise and things we need to keep an eye on, Steve was introduced by Jim Booth and thanked by Ian Bath.
Our Sergeant tonight was Allan Guan who came up with some imaginative fines and again we seem to be talking about Schrodinger’s Cat.
Heads and Tails was ran by Chris Lang this evening as the Sergeant had to leave early. Somehow Chris managed to throw no winners in the first round, so our speaker Steve Reilly got the honey. The second round was won by Ron Carr.
Please check the roster for jobs for the next meeting which is 6:00 – 6:30pm at The Family Hotel and our guest speaker is our very own James Hindmarsh on the new Club Runner platform.
Cheers
Scott
