There will be a ZOOM online meeting this Thursday 11 June starting at 7.30 am. The meeting is scheduled for7.30 am but you can start logging in from 7.15 am and catch up with other members for a chat if you wish. To join the meeting, just type, or copy this URL https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86594191362 into your browser and press enter.

This week we will be looking to the future. Our guest speaker is Chris Davies, Manager Future Energy Systems at the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) who will talk about Australia’s future energy systems. He will talk about his area of expertise which is renewables. He is happy to talk to us in an apolitical manner which means avoiding oil and gas and just focusing on renewables. Rob McLennan will introduce Chris, who is his son-in-law.

In view of Chris’ time constraints, we will need to start the meeting at 7.30 am sharp as Chris will need to start his presentation at 7:30 am so he can finish about 7:50 am, or thereabouts.

On Thursday we will also be inducting Stefanie Hou as a member of the Rotary Club of Adelaide Light. This is the first time we have inducted a new member at a ZOOM meeting so it will be a different ceremony to what we are used to. Stefanie has her new member kit with her Rotary badge so she will be able to wear it after her induction. Members will be able to welcome Stefanie to the Club over ZOOM.

The Stamford Plaza Hotel is currently closed in its entirety. We have been advised that the Hotel is unlikely to open before July or August at the earliest. Current COVID-19 restrictions are that cafes and restaurants can have a maximum of 20 people in a room, subject to the 1 person per 4 square metre rule, so there is not likely to be another venue suitable for hosting our meeting until South Australia moves from Phase 2 COVID-19 restrictions. In the meantime, we will be continuing to have ZOOM meetings.

AVIATION RULES AND REMINDERS

* Take off's are optional. Landings are mandatory.

* Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.

* The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat.

* The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

* Every one already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great landing.' It's one after which you can use the aeroplane another time.

* The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.

* Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

* There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing: Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

* The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as co-pilot is a co-pilot who once was a captain.

* It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune.

* Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
