Youth Report, Audio-Visual Equipment and Allanson Path

Youth - John reported on RYE Alice saying she was a pleasure to have as part of their family and part of the club.

Also, great news everyone!  James Moulden has received his allocated country and it is Belgium. A country of many languages. James is yet to receive details of where he will be going. James thanked the club for their support and sponsorship.

 

Audio equipment upgrade - quotes being finalised. In regards to microphones, as these are transmitters, the frequency has been reallocated and we cannot run these unless their frequencies are changed. The cost to upgrade is around $2100. Also looking at a new projector to enable WiFi, HDMI and USB connections to enable use without a laptop computer or use with a computer remote from the projector. The cost around $2,800. It was put to the meeting for John to proceed and their were no objections. Harry commented to gather other quotes. Greg Smith suggested using Ben Maglia for a second opinion as he did excellent work at Community Radio.

​Allanson Path - feedback from Brett Locock of the Shire that they have procured $80,000 of federal funding, and together with other funding now have the $320,000 needed to start this project. He was working with the MRD and DPaW and was wondering if the Collie Rotary Club were still interested in having input into this project. A sub-committee has been formed and will be meeting with the shire next Tuesday at 3.15PM.

 

Coal Discovery Plaque - has been installed. It tells the story of the finding of coal near that location.
