Well, if you missed it: too bad!  The District Conference over the last weekend was nothing short of superb. So much quality. So much emotion. Your Editor's view is expressed in my email to District Governor Michael Irving and his chief organizers Jodie Shelly and Col Lee:
 
G'day Michael, Jodie and Colin,
Just a note to congratulate you and your organizing team for a superb conference.  What amazing speakers!  What variety - mixing the likes of Bill Boyd and Noel Trevaskis with the deep end of journalism of Kerry O'Brien and flower arrangements of Mark Pampling. And then, I thought... ok, I would "suffer" Ita Buttrose, expecting that this really was more for my better half - how wrong can one be. To top it off, a man of the calibre of Noel Pearson's eloquence, telling it like it is...  How good is that!
 
Well organized, from our view as a guest, all ran like clockwork! Take a bow.
 
Thank you all for your combined effort.
