Today was the first day back after the Xmas break, The numbers were down today as still holiday period. I had a great Xmas with my family in the ACT at a resort, then later went to Tumburumba with friends and went to the Rodeo there; an experience!
It was a fairly quiet affair today with no guest speaker and no rotary information, nor members choice. This left a lot of time for fellowship. There was a change with NO singing, just recited the rotary grace and the national anthem at the end. This was very hit and miss but I am sure we will improve. This is going to be that way for a while I suspect; it wasn't too bad for a first attempt. David Byfield spoke very briefly filling rosters for the upcoming gears and beers festival; no doubt it will be sorted soon. Let's hope it goes ahead.
Rick Priest told us of his disastrous episode of trying to get to the PCYC Xmas function dressed as S anta. His lift forgot, and then tried the fire brigade but they can only take someone half a kilometer! Finally he arrived late in a police car!
At our next meeting district governor Leo Farrely and local area Elaine Almond will be attending to talk on their roles in Rotary and looking for volunteers to follow them in due course; Pleas try to attend if you can.
I note some members have not paid their dues. If you have a problem please let us know so we can help you.
For those still away safe and healthy travels and look forward to seeing you all soon.
