Week of 3rd September, 2018
President Daryl welcomed 19 members & guests Helen L, plus Phil McIntosh, Frank Fuller and David Byfield from Wollundry Rotary Club.
Daryl reminded members of the catering for the Junior Football & Netball awards night catering on Friday from 6 to 8 pm – 4 or so members required.
Paul read out correspondence, including reply letter from Coolamon Shire Council about our concern about toilets behind fire station.
Paul went to Junee Rotary Club as AG and had some interesting discussions; of the five clubs in our district that he oversees, Coolamon & Temora are the healthiest. Paul is planning to meet with each of the clubs individually and discuss ways to build on their strengths.
Wayne spoke on his visit to the Temora club last Monday to talk about membership. While there, their ‘moo-poo’ fundraiser was discussed; we might get some ideas as to an alternative way we might run our moo-poo fundraiser.
Wayne also talked on the ROC Coolamon Matekeeper Workshop and asked for our support of that night on Monday, September 24.
The District 9700 driving simulator will be at Coolamon Central School on Sept 20 & 21; our club is footing the bill, and we’re looking for member(s) to put up the two operators for the night to 20 Sept. If interested, please let President Daryl know.
Guest speaker Phil McIntosh spoke on the planning for Gears & Beers, which will be held on on Sunday, September 30. He emphasised the importance of our own safety when on checkpoints. The longest ride, the Dirty 130, will have about 800 riders, up from the 450 last year. The two rides that come through Coolamon have been reversed and will now come out to Marrar first and then through Coolamon on their way to Wagga. Due to the anticipated increase in riders, we will need extra food at the food station at the roundabout in Coolamon.
The raffle was won by John N.
