Bulletin Editor
Peter Mackinnon
The President's of the Group 5 Clubs met on the weekend in Wagga to discuss Rotary matters with our Assistant DG, Bryan Short. Some clubs raise up to $40,000 from various festivals and special activities and all were concerned that traditional markets and fairs are becoming harder and harder to run successfully. Other clubs are certainly very envious of our two major events and were keen to support our activities in any way possible.
 
We agreed as a group to try and establish a new Rotoract Club in Wagga (Rotary for 18-35 yr olds) and I've taken the lead in this activity. We will convene an informal meeting before the end of the year and I am hoping members might encourage a young person to come along to this - stay tuned for more details.
 
Welcome back to Michael Knight who has been OS for several weeks (including catching up with Brent Pickard in Canada),
 
This weekend is a very important one for the Club and I hope all who are available will come along to help out at the Gears and Beers festival. Phil McIntosh and Tim Barter and their team have done an extraordinary amount of work putting this together and I am confident it will be a huge success for our Club.
