President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
Thanks, Emma for briefing us on legislative changes to the Privacy Act and their application within our Club. Very informative.
 
Now we are on trial (so to speak). We are trialling a different meeting format. We will be having a speaker every alternate week. The other meeting will be a meet and greet over dinner only. We will still have the Sergeant and raffle so don’t forget your small change. And there’s nothing stopping you having a drink with your Rotary mates after dinner instead of going home early.
 
We will incorporate small bites of Club business sometimes on our meet and greet evenings. It is only a trial so make sure you give me or other Board members feedback as it rolls out.
 
Hope you are enjoying the last of the summer weather.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Upcoming Dates To Keep
HDV
We are still looking for a couple of van assistants in the HDV for the Rock n Hop event on Sat 18th March.  If you are about, please put your name on the roster. 
'Save the date' for Saturday 1st of April - for the Winchester Swap Meet - now being held at Levels Motor Raceway.  I haven't added it to the roster yet as we are still waiting to hear if we have a powered site, hopefully early next week we will have an answer. 
Cheers

Information Required
 
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.
