The Meeting Opened at 7:00 PM

Several late withdrawals saw only 17 of the 29 members in attendance which gave us an average of 58.62068965517241%.

The Secretary presented the items of Correspondence, these were approved.

Rotary Foundation Director reminded the Club that November is Foundation Month but also a really bad time for activities for the Farming members so a Foundation B.B.Q. is proposed for October. Details to be provided later.

The Treasurer let the Club know he was taking orders for Baseball Caps and Bucket Hats along with payment. He also gave an explanation of the meal, something a little different, but heck if you weren’t there you won’t know what I’m talking about anyway.

Donations and Goods for the Annual Spring Garden Raffle are now sort.

Rotarians Bradley, Pellow and Retallack all requested leave, for differing lengths of time, which was granted.

Rotarian Malcolm Retallack then provided his Maiden Behind the Badge speech introducing the assembled members to his history, stories and life after which he answered a few questions. A long, interesting and history you have Malcolm, thank you for sharing and joining our Club.

We closed the Meeting at 8:34 PM.
