President Simon gets the boot - just 3 weeks into his term

Posted by Franz Huber on Jul 20, 2016

Your Editor has seen some unusual things happening in his almost 30 years in Rotary. We have seen Presidents going AWOL after a few short weeks into the term (more than once - Vice President Ian Mayberry, who in his career as VP twice got caught up in such a situation, visibly got the jitters when he first heard about it..! ☺), but never before has a President been given the boot after just three weeks in office! OK, 'given the boot' with a twist: Regular visitor from Nowra, Arthur Moorhouse's better half had severely injured her foot some time ago. Now, the 'Moon Boot' was no longer required, Arthur thought it would certainly become a useful item to be included with a consignment of wheelchairs... Arthur hence presented the boot to an initially puzzled President Simon! Never a boring moment at a Surfers Sunrise breakfast!
