Indian Delights
An excellent evening last night at the Cinnamon Club Indian Restaurant, Hyde Park with about 14 members and guests enjoying an excellent range of meals and drinks and convivial conversation. The menu is huge and includes a number of dishes that you do not normally see on the menu of your average curry joint. I had a thali, an assortment of curries, raita, salad and bread served in individual copper dishes on a copper tray. Also on the menu, dosa, a thin "pancake" made of fermented rice and lentils and filled with a variety of vegetables or meat. That's for next time.The drinks list is extensive and reasonably priced which is unusual for restaurants these days. While most chose from the wine list, Judy got into the spirit of things with a British Raj cocktail which was indeed all things British, well mostly. Pimms, Gin, mint, passion fruit and ginger beer- pip pip.
Unfortunately Alan Moss suffered an acute hay fever attack and left before the evening got under way.
Ian Stanford has worked in the travel industry for over 40 years and has merged this experience with his Rotary membership into a philosophy of travel-See the sights, get to know the people and their culture and make a difference.
The troops were on hand in the crisp morning air on Friday the 13th for the Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser, but as the hot plate was fired up and the sun began to shine, it turned out to be a beautiful day. I shudder to think just how many sausages Rotary clubs in Australia have cooked. Some say, if they were put end to end, they would reach to the moon and back.

A lively group of 26 members and partners/guests had dinner at the Hyde Park Tavern to witness the hand over of the Presidency of the Club from Rob Handley to Gerry Greenway and the announcement of the new Board, and to hear from Tim Klar, Assistant Governor and District Governor Elect..jpg)

Nunyara was the venue for the RYPEN warriors of 2018 gathered in April this year. Attendee Angus Harper bared his soul and story to the Club members and visitors from the HPRC Charitable Trust and thanked the Club for sponsoring him to attend the Leadership Camp.
This year the RYPEN camp was hosted by RC Seaford and visited by Bob Cooper District Governor of our District. Angus told us about the 'icebreaker games" and lanyard identification to find their shared rooms. The Job Skills sessions helped them to discover their personality types and later in the weekend the Relationship Session with Craig Murray discussed strategies and developing resistance . The issues Forum concentrated on bullying and harassment and the Director's night consisted of dancing and team games including a newspaper dress making activity and parade. Angus said that the weekend's attendees included sons and daughters of Rotarians and helped develop his presentation skills. He showed us a creative magazine developed on the 'camp' and encouraged other young people to attend in the future. 
Mike McAuliffe thanked the many helpers and summarised the events success.
