PRESIDENT’S COMMENT Sue and I caught up with President John on Friday evening

and while he may need some assistance to get in and out of

VGC, he is planning to come back and reclaim his position at

the head table on Thursday 21st. I’m sure we are all looking

forwarded to welcoming him back.

John has sent a note to David Lea for inclusion in this edition.

Last Wednesday night, Geoff Stockdale, Malcolm Sawle, Da-

vid Lea, Tony McKenna, Trish and I attended the welcome

home dinner for the 2012 GSE team to Malaysia led by Ker-

rie Geard.

It was amazing to hear the team members Michael Johnson,

Peter Schmidt, Jade Lovell and Kylie McMillan talk about their

experiences but the real difference was the increased confi-

dence and presentation skills compared to their pre-departure

performance and all commented on the recognition of the

broader opportunities available to them as a result of this trip.

Those members going to conference in Wangaratta will have

the opportunity to hear them. Kerrie was lauded for her ex-

cellent leadership – well done Kerrie.

What a magnifi-

cent day yesterday

(Sunday) was for a

barbeque. Kids

having their face

painted, a man

dressed in yellow

and red making

anything from dogs

to aliens with bal-

loons and seven

Rotarians cooking sausages and onions and handing them out

for free.

The Black Rock Playground was the venue. Following the re-

cent upgrade to the park the Bayside Council arranged a

“soft opening”. Reopened over the Christmas Holiday period,

this playground has gone from a tired and neglected looking

play space, to a brand-spanking-new pirate themed park.

With fencing and landscaping, as well as new benches, bike

racks, plus the original barbeques donated by the Rotary

Club of Beaumaris.

The Mayor, Stephen Hartney joined Roy and Pat Seager,

Trish Smythe, Glenda Laughton, Peter Flude, Michael

Hede, David Greenall and yours truly in the cooking and

distribution of 300 sausages.

The new Rotary tent was in full view of Beach and Bluff

roads and the opportunity to promote Rotary in the com-

munity and hand out information on Rotary and the Bay-

side Mayoral Golf day was too good to pass up. Thanks

guys, well done.

Tuesday night RCOB is hosting the District New Genera-

tions meeting at “The Beaumaris”. We are expecting

about 60 people including the DG Brian Martin and the

DGE Merv Ericson.

All the speakers are young people talking about their

experiences with Rotary programs including: Rotary Youth

Program of Enrichment (RYPEN), Camp Awakenings (no

acronym), Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA), Rota-

ry Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), National Youth Sci-

ence Forum (NYSF), the year 10 Four Way Test public

speaking contest, Rotary Youth Exchange and Rotaract.

Back to a normal at VGC next week – see you there.

P.E. Bob

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S BED Home at last! And I am receiving very good care from Sue, who has taken a couple of week’s carer’s leave to look after me. It has been a long process (15 days since I broke my leg in Bali), but I now have a 12” titanium rod screwed into my tibia and I can get around on crutches (just!). I cannot weight bear on my right leg for another 5 weeks, so that is restricting things quite a bit. Anyway, I am slowly but surely on the mend, and I am very much looking forward to getting back into my

“Presidential duties”. There is a good chance (pending carer’s approval of course!) that I will be able to attend our meeting at VGC on 21st Feb, when Huntingdale Rota-ry Club will join us. I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone that has wished me well. And thank you for the wonderful “get well” card – very much ap-preciated. Our Almoner Harry is certainly on top of things – while he was in the process of moving house he called in to see me and provide me with a bottle of what looks like an excel-lent “traditional Scottish remedy for fractured limbs”. I am sure it will do the trick. A big thank you to PE Bob and the team for keeping the Rotary wheel turning at RCOB Best wishes President John
