Angus Miller was at the door, Geoff Croad was Chairman and Ian Mayberry was Sergeant. We had apologies from Peter Morgan, Gerald East, Adam Sheppard, Tash Price, Mario Fairlie and Simon Brook.
President Charles Thomasson welcomed all members and visitors Honorary Queenslander Ann O’Connor, soon to be member Trent Belling and KJ Jewson (Rotaract Club of Burleigh Heads). Charles elaborated on the Baton Relay event to be run in celebration of Rotary’s 100 year in Australia anniversary. Our club will be involved on Friday 16th April 2021, where we’ll be running with wheelchairs, so put it into your diary now!
After our guest speaker Tammy Richie’s presentation (see story above), Secretary Mitch Brown reminded members that, in view of our regular involvement with Youth projects, all members must have a Queensland Blue Card. If you don’t have one, or your card is not up to date, please fill in the form, get Mitch to certify it (even though he knows you well, you’ll need to have your Drivers License with you). Refer to a recent email sent out by Mitch.
To conclude, Sergeant Ian Mayberry contributed to the good humour of the morning by issuing a few fines: Geoff Croad forgot that he was on duty… Larry Murray whinged that he has a crook back, but doesn’t know how it came about… Andy Bell, you’re not supposed to take phone calls during the meeting… Franz Huber for panicking about our Guest Speaker not being here when indeed she already was… Charles Thomasson’s Fine Number XX for not mentioning the Sergeant at the Changeover… Johnny Bueti would have copped a fine but he managed to escape before… Richard Smith: the raffle must have been rigged!
