A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. - William Shakespeare

President Hugh's Message.
Moo Moo (Cow for Hello).
Hey, Myrtle, it’s that lady again. Quick you go down the tunnel and hide in the paddock across the road. Yeah, it’s all this politically correct stuff otherwise they could be sending someone with that straw for you. Must be a real shortage of bulls I would rather have Sid the Bull he is really handsome. Quick go now Myrtle she is coming down the drive!!
Last Tuesday we welcomed Liz Palmer of LIC to speak about 'Artificial Breeding' in dairy cows. It was fascinating to learn 390,000 Cows per day in New Zealand are artificially inseminated. The process of selecting bulls and semen how fresh, long-lasting or frozen semen may be used. There are 6.5 million straws of semen packed per year from September to December with 70 collections per day at peak. LIC has two farms with 800 to 1000 bulls. The bull of the day can be chosen.
While under Level 4 Covid Lockdown there will be no meeting.

Next Weeks Meeting
Tuesday 31st August 2021
TBA
If still under Covid Lockdown (depending on the level) there may be no meeting.
Members are reminded to put in an apology for the meeting by noon on Monday (otherwise they are liable to be charged) - click on the following link to apologise:-
The club has received an email from Dick Dodds (via Malcolm McDonald - our club coordinator for the PHF meals) requesting an indication for support of only having a Paul Harris Fellow meal (in the future) yearly (the next one to be the second Friday in September 2022).
Anyone who wishes to support the proposal could they email me by Saturday 28th August (Stephen Don srdon000@outlook.com) and I will reply to Dick (via Malcolm).
Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.

Editors Humour.
Covid
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the chicken behind it didn’t know how to socially distance properly.
Two grandmothers were bragging about their precious darlings. One of them says to the other, “Mine are so good at social distancing, they won’t even call me.”
Who’s idea was it to sing “Happy Birthday” while washing your hands? Now every time I go to the bathroom, my kids expect me to walk out with a cake.
My husband purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, “Throw this and wherever it lands—that’s where I’m taking you when this pandemic ends.” Turns out, we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.
My mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by lying in bed all day. But look at me now, ma! I’m saving the world!
