A highlight of the Golden Anniversary was the well balanced programme with a mixture of history, entertainment and plenty of fellowship time.  The five decades of the history of RCG were presented by past and present members. John Mackey took us back to the first decade and included stories about projects and people.  Ray Davies was the second presenter and did so in his engaging and animated style. Ray was also mentioned in dispatches as a keen Membership Chairman who helped push membership into the 50's. The next speaker in this segment was Joy Ferguson. Joy had the honour of being the  first female member for the club and served two terms as President. Joy is still very active in the club. Jerome Winston wa  s next and introduced, among other things, the concept from indigenous Australian tradition of every when as apposed to every where. David Ling was the fifth and spoke about some of the challenges of recent years and also achievements. During this period RCG sponsored  the new Rotary club of Greensborough Central and that resulted in some transfer of members and other attrition around that time. However membership has built again and we look forward to the future. |
