Andy Bell was chairman. We had apologies from Darrell Brown, Evan Mita, Al Sirovs, Graeme Isaacson, Adrian Crowe and Ralph Pownall.
President Doug Lipp welcomed all members and confirmed that the 300 chairs we had at the project shed had found a good home at one of the churches at Elanora.
Following Thomas Robinson’s Rotarian Behind the Badge address (see separate article above), Paul Seymour advised that the Pennsylvania contingent of the Rotary Friendship Exchange will be hosted by our club and Mermaid Beach from 11th to 15th March. They will visit our club on 13th March - program to be determined.
As we had some time, Andy Bell regaled us with a rather black humour story from his days in the New Zealand Police Force. One of the constituents of his district had designed a rather intricate ‘Death Machine’, suitable to Voluntary Assisted Dying. Otherwise absolutely no similarity to lethal injection… Sorry people, you should have been there! ☺
