I had the honour of sitting at the head table with the presidents of all the service clubs including other Rotary Clubs, Lions, Kiwanis and Inner Wheel. I also had the pleasure of being seated next to Mayor Simon Brewer’s lovely wife Nina. Being new at the game I was caught on the hop when asked to speak first on the Club and its activities. It didn’t help with my voice still a bit croaky but I gave it a crack. I do feel a fine coming my way as I did miss plugging our Sunrise Market (but at least Mayor Simon did). I was honoured though to receive the tie from the Council and will wear it with pride to the dinner next year. We were treated to a scrumptious 3 course meal, superb wines, topped off with a brilliant raconteur in Michael Keelan. Michael entertained us with anecdotes from his long career in both radio and television and his love for horticulture. In addition Now in Stereo, a young and vibrant quartet gave us a blast from the past with their barbershop style tunes. They challenged us with that age old question, ‘Who put the bomp in the bomp shu bomp shu bomp?’ The 4 lads were fantastic and I think our market committee may have to get on to these guys to perform at our Market in the coming months. You can find Now in Stereo on Facebook. I do hope that all who attended from our club had as good a time as I did as we had a healthy turn out for a club our size. The main Sunrise table fared well in the raffle with Chris Gascoine having the first ticket to be drawn (NOT WAYNE – he did not win a thing??). Mark T was a little peed off as he had loaned Chris $5 to purchase his raffle tickets until he could break a twenty. It will be back to normality next week with our meeting returning to normal. Our guest speaker Lynton Nicholas will be talking to us about RYWELL which is something I am looking forward to. A small reminder that our meeting Tuesday week will be a “Bring a Guest to Breakfast” meeting so start teeing up a friend or colleague to bring along. Please let Gary know for catering purposes.

A night of food, wine and fellowship was had at the Combined Service Clubs Dinner at the Campbelltown
Council Hall on Tuesday night. I had the honour of sitting at the head table with the presidents of all the
service clubs including other Rotary Clubs, Lions, Kiwanis and Inner Wheel. I also had the pleasure of being
seated next to Mayor Simon Brewer’s lovely wife Nina.
Being new at the game I was caught on the hop when asked to speak first on the Club and its activities. It
didn’t help with my voice still a bit croaky but I gave it a crack. I do feel a fine coming my way as I did miss
plugging our Sunrise Market (but at least Mayor Simon did). I was honoured though to receive the tie from
the Council and will wear it with pride to the dinner next year.
We were treated to a scrumptious 3 course meal, superb wines, topped off with a brilliant raconteur in
Michael Keelan. Michael entertained us with anecdotes from his long career in both radio and television
and his love for horticulture. In addition Now in Stereo, a young and vibrant quartet gave us a blast from the
past with their barbershop style tunes. They challenged us with that age old question, ‘Who put the bomp in
the bomp shu bomp shu bomp?’ The 4 lads were fantastic and I think our market committee may have to get
on to these guys to perform at our Market in the coming months. You can find Now in Stereo on Facebook.
I do hope that all who attended from our club had as good a time as I did as we had a healthy turn out for a
club our size. The main Sunrise table fared well in the raffle with Chris Gascoine having the first ticket to be
drawn (NOT WAYNE – he did not win a thing??). Mark T was a little peed off as he had loaned Chris $5 to
purchase his raffle tickets until he could break a twenty.
It will be back to normality next week with our meeting returning to normal. Our guest speaker Lynton
Nicholas will be talking to us about RYWELL which is something I am looking forward to. A small reminder
that our meeting Tuesday week will be a “Bring a Guest to Breakfast” meeting so start teeing up a friend or
colleague to bring along. Please let Gary know for catering purposes. His email is

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of a worthy enterprise and in particular to encourage and foster
The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by every Rotarian of their occupation as an opportunity to serve
society.
The application of the ideal service by every Rotarian to their personal, business and community life.
The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional people united in the ideal of service.
The Four Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
Is it the truth? Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
For good food, good fellowship And the opportunity to serve through Rotary
