Tickler’s ramble.
 
Hi fellow ferals, although we had no lunch meeting last week we more than made up for this with the fantastic launch of James’ two short movies.  We had a full house at the capital cinema and some great fellowship at the Warrnambool after. We have such a great club where members actually do things.  Congratulations to those who put in week after week, it’s a privilege to be your president

Cheers

Tim Goodall

Movie night success.
 

Huge thanks to all the members who came to the Doco launch. And for Tony for not only introducing the Polio clip but for being so encouraging and supportive when I lack the confidence to actually show the doco. 

Apologies from Capitol Cinema, it was off to a rough start with the sound track firstly missing, and then once sorted it was way way too loud, it settled down and we got on with the show. 

Counting empty seats, of 167 available there were only 30 spare, so it was a pretty good turn out for this little Rotary story. 18 club members came (some with a partner or friends) it was exciting to see so many public attend. There were a dozen last minute apologies so we almost had a full house.

The feedback from Non-Rotarians was a lot of curiousness about our club projects and the opportunity to go to the camp or to other projects overseas and do something. Aim met. I now need to invite some of these folk to lunch or to other social occasions. There were some excellent non-Rotarian community members in the room. If you did strike up a conversation with someone and wish to get in touch with them to invite them along yourself, let me know if you need contact details.

Apologies if I forgot to say something. I did forget to do a Welcome to Country. And I also forgot to specifically thank Rob Coffey for his amazing golden tonsils. The narration was great, Rob, and it came together beautifully. Rob then dashed out to a brilliant Find Your Voice All Abilities Choir show at the Lighthouse Theatre. (I saw the concert Thursday night, it was outstanding!)

Thanks again for the clubs support, if you would like to watch the documentary please view it here: https://vimeo.com/315036129

Support Brain Cancer Research.
 

My family and friends will be taking part in Walk4BrainCancer Melbourne to raise money for world-class brain cancer research, advocacy and awareness. Many people don't know brain cancer kills more children than any other disease in Australia. It also kills more people under 40 in Australia than any other cancer. Yet very little is known about brain cancer, its causes or how to treat it. Walk4BrainCancer is the biggest mobilisation of the brain cancer community, taking place across Australia from September to December every year. So please donate and help us reach our goal of $5,000, you'll be helping to move us closer to a cure! Any money you can give no matter how large or small will be sincerely appreciated, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Brendan.

Swiss fast facts.
 
Despite deciding to dissolve the Bank of International Settlements, once the war was over the Allies had a change of plan and decided to keep the BIS, contenting themselves with prosecuting some of it's directors for war crimes.  The bank was used to facilitate trade and currency exchanges until a certain incident in 1974.  
 
On the 26th of June 1974 the Herstatt bank in West Germany accepted a large sum in Deutschemarks from other banks that was supposed to be transferred in US dollars to banks in New York.  In the small time delay between the German bank receiving payment and transferring the money into American banks, the German government liquidated the bank.  
 
No doubt German bankers loved this wonderfully creative piece of banking jiggery pokery, but their American counterparts were not that impressed.  To cut a long story short, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was set up within the BIS to regulate against this sort of trickery.  Basel became the centre of world banking regulation.
 
Ten years ago this week.
 
Ten years ago this week our Charter President was flogging that years vintage of the notorious ‘Rotary Wine’. Bruce confidently announce that the year’s wine was ‘not crap’, and that offering people a Rotary wine could be accompanied by a recommendation rather than an apology.  For the information of newer members, our ‘Rotary red’ wine was at its best when, according to Peter Lynch's tasting notes, it was cellared forever. 
 
Thank you to all those who contributed this week.
