 | This is a Peace Project celebrating 100 years since Rotary was established 1921-2021. 100 Rotary Clubs from around Australia were invited by the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin to become involved in this joint Centenary project by donating a Peace Pole to a Primary School in our area. Hyde Park Rotary Club elected to become involved and decided to support Goodwood Primary School. Peace Poles are planted bearing the Universal Peace Message “May Peace Prevail On Earth”. The pole and the message symbolise our common wish for a World at Peace. They stand as a silent vigil for peace, reminding us to think and act in the spirit of peace. The peace message is written in four languages, one on a panel on each side of the 4 sided Peace Pole. Each school is invited to participate by their local Rotary Club with each school selecting which four languages should be featured on their Peace Pole, based on language usage in each school. Each school determines the location where the Peace Poles should be planted within school grounds. The Rotary Club of Hyde Park funded this Peace Pole on behalf of Goodwood Primary School. World Peace Day Ceremony Once the Peace Pole is installed the school is invited to participate in the United Nations Peace Day Ceremony on the third Tuesday in September each year. A short ceremony is conducted at the Peace Pole. The Peace Pole was delivered to Goodwood Primary School by Hyde Park Rotary Club President Judy Greenway. | |
Erica and Robert Handley entertained members and their guests with a very interesting talk about their trip to the East Kimberley, the Northern Territory and Outback Queensland and New South Wales. Their presentation was enhanced with some great photographs. A great presentation that once agin demonstrated that members are very interesting guest speakers.

Unley Council held its annual Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at the Unley Civic Centre with Hyde Park Rotary Club providing the nourishment for the new citizens by means of the Club BBQ and willing Club member helpers. Mayor Michael Hewitson welcomed the new citizens. A very successful day by all accounts.
A great team effort by all concerned. Many thanks to Rotarians and partners Rob, Norma, Yoshi, Rodger, Lyn, Mike, Neville, Jill, Judy, Gerry, Andrew, Bev and Colleen.
The One & All
The One & All is a replica sailing ship that the SA Government use to take young people on short trips to get them used to feeling what it must have been like for some of the first settlers that came here from the UK. The Young people experience all kinds of tasks while on the five day trip.
Hyde Park Rotary Club in conjunction with their daughter club Eastwood Rotary Club have sponsored a young 18 year old lass, Tamika Barrett, from Thebarton Senior College to do the trip.
Bernie and Barbara Boxer from the Hyde Park Club and Terri Hamilton-Smith from Eastwood were dockside last Sunday the 27th of September 2020 at 8am to see Tamika and the other students off. There were quite a crowd of parents and Rotarians there when the District Governor David Jones made a speech to send them on their way..........
HYDE PARK WINS THE GREAT DEBATE
The annual debate between the Hyde Park Rotary Club and the Unley Rotary Club took place at the Unley Club's meeting place Damien on Fisher. The Subject of the Debate was "This house believes that robots will increase the quality of life". Unley chose to debate for the affirmative and Hyde Park chose for the negative. Our team in order of speaking comprised Peter Griffiths, Mike McAuliffe and Neville Highett. A lively debate ensued and the Adjudicator Tony Houey ruled in our favour. Well done team!
The losing Unley team of John Kirkett, David Middleton and Nathan White put up a good performance but not good enough and left with their tails between their legs. Click Read More to see pictures of the event.
PASSING OVER THE BATON
Returning to our old stomping grounds at the Hyde Park Tavern for one night of nostalgia and a chance to don our finery on July 22nd 2020, our annual changeover dinner was attended by 37 members and guests.
Gerry Greenway ended his 2 year presidency by handing over the reins into the capable hands of Neville Highett, who was accompanied by his charming wife Jill. Chairman Peter Griffiths, his lovely wife Ros, District Governer Elect Jeff Neale, his wife Meredith and Area 9 Governor Di Clements rounded off the table seating, not to mention Gerry’s wife Judy who toasted eagerly as proceedings began.
As is the usual custom, having been called to do so by Chairman Peter, Bernie Boxer opened the proceedings with a Welcome to Country. This was followed by our customary toast to Rotary International and the people of Australia proposed by Lyn, and a response by Jeff Neale.
Di Clements then spoke to the group in regards to the structuring of the new area.
As the wine flowed and the meals were served, it was great to see so many familiar faces and to hear the chitter chatter of happy voices at a social occasion not so easily afforded to some other state populations in our great country of late due to Covid 19.
It was wonderful to see some familiar faces of old including Gordon Wilkinson, his wife Nereda, past District Governor Peter Ochota and his wife Meredith, Geoff Keynes and his wife Anne and never to be forgotten Mark Ikeda. It was also very nice to see Ian McIntyre, his wife Ann, and Maryann Kohlberger there to share the occasion with their fellow Rotarians
After the dinner Outgoing President Gerry presented his report and gave a brief summary of the year during which Alan Moss was asked to stand up and be acknowledged for being as Gerry said “ My Rock” as Secretary during his two years of Presidency. My Moss Rock he added! Gerry then deftly inducted Neville as our new president. Neville proceeded to give those in attendance his visions for the future and his intentions as to how this might be achieved.
A great night amongst old friends and good vibes for the coming Rotary Year.
