Industry Visit- Crusoe Reservoir (Wednesday March 22nd 8AM)

This Industry visit follows the interest of members in the history of the supply of water to Bendigo. Some little while ago we had Geoff Russell, the author of "Water for Gold", as our guest. This was followed by a car rally which stopped off at various points of interest along the Coliban Channel. Members will be guided around points of interest by Ranger, Blair Venn, from 8AM until 9AM. Crusoe Reservoir is in Crusoe Road, Kangaroo Flat, on the left coming from Bendigo towards the end of the built up area. There should be sufficient parking in the carpark, however depending on numbers some members may need to park on Crusoe Road.

Members are advised to wear sturdy shoes as we will be walking on some uneven ground. All participants are invited to return to the restaurant section of PepperGreen Farm around 9.30AM for breakfast. Please contact Jim Rolfe (0407554263) if you have any queries.

President's report

Welcome everyone

Not as many in attendance this week but still an involved meeting with a good update on the director's reports.
Ted updated us on the Easter Markets project and will be further informed when more info is available. Doug added parking restrictions to this from the council. Stew added info about the Sailing Challenge and a student wanting to participate. Rob and Kev will update more at the forum next week.
Please contact Chris re the orders for uniforms before the winter sets in. If you are not at next week's meeting email him with your request.
A brief explanation was given re the duties for each meeting. The Chair and Set-up running sheets are inside the doors of our storage cupboard at the back of our room. Please check these when rostered.
The rostered person on raffle is to collect the tickets only. The club buys the prizes. This money pays for the guest's breakfast and the raffle prize. The remaining money goes into the foodshare tin. When full Ian or Geoff will replace this.
All members were asked to check their WWC card and keep updated.
Bendigo Rotary are having an information dinner meeting re online banking and scams etc. See flyer, will be very interesting, please RSVP if you can attend.
From next week Paul Henderson will be doing the two following bulletins.

Hoping you are sending in lots of ideas and questions for our Forum next week.

Enjoy your week.

President Judy.
