Fellow Rotarians & Friends,

We had another evening of great fellowship with 21 members and wives attending.

Colin gave a brief outline of the Trivia night being held at the Hub on the 29th. He has managed to amass great raffle prizes so that alone is an incentive to attend. It was also made clear by Neil Jones and Colin that the judge’s decision is final and no challenges will be accepted. It promises to be a great night so please invited friends and neighbours along. Kumar will be providing the food as an extra incentive. Please register via Colin’s invitation if you are attending.

Neil gave us a brief synopsis of the grant application regarding refurbishing the Hub. The preferred option seems to be replacing the floors and lining the walls. He will liaise with Council re progressing the application.

Harold pointed out how clean the floors are after Gold Coast Magic had them cleaned professionally. They really sparkled.

Tony Lewis was welcomed back to demonstrate his magic skills and make amateur magicians of us all. He made the tricks look easy even when performing them right in front of the audience. He then demonstrated how they were done and even gave out some tricks for members to try at home. Many thanks to Tony for all the trouble he went to for this presentation.

We have arranged to go to the Wax Museum on the 6th October thanks to the kind invitation of Peter Tomlinson. We will meet at 6.00 and then go to the Clock Tower Hotel for dinner. They will arrange for us to have privacy on the first floor as they did last time so we will need numbers closer to the time.

Yours in Rotary

VP Pauline
