Serving the Community since 1985
Presidents Report Reflecting on the past week, I can honestly
say a lot has happened and engaged the club almost to the limit of
our resources. Firstly on behalf of all the club members, let me
wish our hard working editor of In Gear, David Lea a very quick
recovery. Thirty six of us have spent an enjoyable three days at
District Conference in Ballarat. We had a good mix of golf,
enlightenment, fellowship, networking and fun. Beaumaris won the
golf day again. The theme of the Six Areas of Focus for Rotary
deliv-ered some varied and interesting speakers. At the dinner,
Under the Southern Cross, we didnt win the costume prize, but we
were certainly the bright-est in the room in our Surf Lifesaver
outfits and everyone had a great night. Next year we are at
Shepparton on March 18th to 20th (Friday pm, Sat-urday and Sunday
am). The theme for the dinner is My Favourite TV Show, so put your
thinking caps on and mark your 2016 calendar with these dates. We
have reserved 25 rooms at the Quest Apart-ments in Shepparton. Our
club members who didnt go to conference were kept busy as well.
From all I can tell so far, they delivered what can only be
described as the First and Best Farmers Market ever!!! The
at-tendance was fantastic, the weather was perfect, the stall
holders were very happy, to the point that we have a waiting list
now for the next market. I will let Peter Flude and Heather
Chisholm update us all in more detail. Thank you to all who have
de-livered for the club an outstanding new event which I am certain
will turn out to be much more than just fundraising. Nicole Stewart
will be speaking to us this week on Performance Management. David
Langworthy will chair the meeting.

Beaumaris Farmers Market -a Beau-maris Rotary Project
Held Saturday 14th March and featuring the following: A crowd
exceeding 2,000 patrons. Gross returns to our Club just under
$5,000. $500 presented to The Sandringham Col-
lege by President Ken at a great function. 54 stalls. Next
Market 11th April. Next Market-65+ stalls. Many thanks to Heather
and team who
did an outstanding job on the day. Regional Farmers Markets, who
organise
the stalls, said it was their best market ev-er [15 years].
We will be having a sausage sizzle at the next Market.
Will need about 15 helpers for next Market-volunteers please to
Heather or Peter. School delighted with outcome. Heather and Ken
will be holding a debriefing at 6.00pm on Thursday at VGC.
In summary-an absolutely outstanding event following 12 months
preparation. Well done to all concerned and to PP Robert for
introducing the Project. Looking forward to our next Market. Peter
Flude.

District Conference Ballarat 2015 The disappointing number of
golfers did in no way detract from the challenge of Buninyong golf
course and the wonderful hospitality shown by President Ron, Club
Captain Frank and the rest of the Bu-ninyong staff. 21 golfers teed
off after a light lunch on a cool but sunny Thursday afternoon.
Those who started on the 10th benefited from climbing the
mountainous first few holes early and with plenty of time to
recov-er on the much flatter front nine. This obviously suited
James and Roy who galloped away with the team and now obsolete
District Tro-phy with a 4BBB score of 43. James also had the best
individual score for the day who was presented with his prizes by,
not only the DG, but also RIPPR Bill Boyd A number of non- golfers
swelled dinner patrons to over 40 and all enjoyed the variety of
the menu for the two course meal cooked by the ladies auxiliary.
Youve got to love these country courses and the involvement of huge
numbers of volunteers. It was disappointing to hear David Tolstrup
say on Saturday the there would not be a golf day at the conference
which would be replaced by a District Golf day in April 2016.
However a number of clubs have indicated that they would still like
to play golf before next years Shep-parton conference so a new
group DRAGGs has been formed to explore options in Tatura,
Mooroopna of Shepparton for next year. Watch this space. After a
fair bit of cloak and dagger and secrecy it was revealed that the
club dinner would take place across the road from our Motel at
Sovereign Hill and that the bus was in fact of the walking variety
(except for Shirley Mirams who was transported by car). So after a
hearty 5 minute walk, 36 members and partners were led to the
Charlie Napier Hotel where we were served some appetisers and
al-
lowed to quench our thirst with a cleansing ale or a cheeky
little chardonnay. The group were then taken to a Gold Pour where
we were entertained by a very knowledgeable fel-low who not only
displayed the process for extract-ing the gold and making an ingot
worth over $100,000 but some of us were given the opportunity to
hold it (with a gun held to your head of course). We then returned
to the Charlie Napier where we enjoyed an excellent meal which was
interrupted however by the arrest of one of our party. The Trooper
(who would only provide his first name Mick) arrested and put in
handcuffs Wolfe Fritz on the outrageous charge of Conspiracy to
Imperson-ate a First Lady. It took all of Trishs skills and
femi-nine charms (and every dollar she had in Wolfes wallet) to
eventually get Wolfe released into her care. It was a great way to
start a conference, see a small part of Sovereign Hill in magic
weather and with great company. Thanks to everyone who attended. PP
