Board of Directors FY19

There is a fair bit of work required to prepare for the DG’s visit not only in terms of Club info, but also Kris was up until late baking scones for the DG’s wife (thank you Kris) and this year from Tina who did an excellent job of giving our DG a gentle roast.  I met up with Russell, Shelley and our resident AG Graeme Aspinall on Saturday morning at the Multi District Conference Launch and they all said that they had a great time at our Club last Tuesday.  At the meeting itself, Russell was very complimentary about what our Club does and how we go about things and I am grateful to Ken, Catherine, Vicki and Graeme who all did a great job of helping me field the DG’s questions.

 

The Multi District Conference looks like being a really major event next year and it is unfortunate that it will clash with the All American on Sunday.  However, the good news is that Sunday looks to be primarily comprised of breakout sessions with the main speakers (including Grant Hackett, Christine Nixon, the kiwi comedian magician (can’t recall his name) and MC extraordinaire John Prendergast) appearing on Saturday, so it may be possible to do both!  The theme for this year’s conference is “Red” (as it is sponsored by Red Energy,  so if we do have sufficient numbers going, we can start to think about how we might interpret this.
