Risk Assessment
This was a working session led by Secretary Brian where he took us through the risk assessment process.
A risk assessment is needed for every project we undertake. This must be provided to the district insurance officer and must be a compete process.
The particular risk assessment we discussed was for barbecued sausages and hamburgers at a market or catering day. The process did highlight a few deficiencies in our risk profile, including the need to have a fire extinguisher in the BBQ van.
It was quite a difficult process and highlighted the amount of work required of the Secretary for each event and the need for us all to be involved in supporting him in this work.

Sergeant Aaron
Aaron introduced us to a game of True or False where each member had to tell us three things about themselves with one being false. It was very revealing. Who knew that members (who shall not be named):
Spent two nights in a prison cell;
When DUI twice;
Was suspended from college;
Have never seen their footy team win a grand final (despite the fact that the team has won and the member is a rabid fan). However, the member has won two premiership;
One notable member told an almost true story about a skunk. We thought the tal stunk!
It was an entertaining session but maybe too informative.
The raffle was won by Greg.

Where have you Bean?
During lunch at work, I ate 3 plates of beans (which I know I shouldn't). When I got home, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call. The beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a garbage dump! I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other leg, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on releasing atomic bombs like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable! Eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, so I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peaked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table, with their hands to their noses, chorused, "Happy Birthday!"
A: Nothing.
