- Mega Swim. From John Calnin. "On behalf of the team members I would like to thank all who supported us both financially and on the day. It turned out far better than expected and the total raised by the Rotary Team was $12231.00. This was a great achievement! A big thank you goes to family and friends together with the members of Rotary who put their hands in their pockets and raised $745. It is also necessary to thank those who counted laps for us, especially those who got up in the middle of the night. We had some sponsors, John Meagher of 360 Property group who supplied out outfits, Schweppes Drinks for keeping us hydrated and IGA Barwon Heads for fruit etc. Many thanks to all.
I would also like to thank the team, for firstly embracing the project and then getting into the training mode to swim which at the time didn't sound too hard but by lunchtime on Sunday I can assure readers we knew we had been in a Mega event!
Good luck for 2013."
****** Please remember to avail yourselves of the tea and coffee provided during the evening, preferably before the guest speaker commences. *****
Guest Speaker:?
1. Helen Buttriss on the BEAR Program (Business Expansion And Retention program) The business community has given $90,000 to the community in the last few years. There are 120 businesses in our area, 60% of which operate from home as well as the Industrial estate and shop fronts. The program is designed to bring members of the business community together to express their concerns and ideas about what helps and hinders small business. Information will be gathered through the interview process where trained volunteer interviewers will ask set questions to approximately 100 businesses over a three-week period. From the data gathered it is hoped that community building, employment, tourism needs and public amenities and infrastructure will be enhanced. The main aim is to encourage all concerned to work together and to talk to each other, to understand the value of networking and to build better and stronger relationships with Council.
2. Martin Stow who has multiple sclerosis also thanked us for our efforts with the Mega Swim.
Martin is an ex-policeman, who worked with the Yorkshire Constabulary, he enjoyed his time in the police force ? walking the best, talking to people and knowing his community.
He told us how to use a truncheon and a police whistle and the importance of knowing where to get a good cuppa. He told us how to arrest someone and to get an admission of guilt. He was involved with the family of the Yorkshire Ripper and guarding prostitutes at that time. It was during the miner's strikes that he learned trudging and wedging, a very effective means of dissipating aggressive behavior. Practical jokes were rife to defray the boredom, as were the fish and chips especially at night. There were good times and bad times especially when faced with a gun (the police were unarmed). Uniform was important with boots polished. Martin believed this showed respect for the uniform and what it represented. This was a lively talk with lots of humour.
- Note to members ? Apologies must be in by 11a.m. on MONDAY! Notification later than this is of no use. Co-operation with this would be appreciated. Phone number 0457 315 900
