Message from our President
At our last meeting we had Darren Egar from Psychs on Bikes talk to us at Onyx Cafe about his work. He goes into towns that have been ravaged by Flood, drought or fire or just even the grimness of the economic market. It was interesting to note when he asked possible candidates for therapy how they would talk about someone else and not themselves. He would then ask how they were again and then eventually they would confess they weren't travelling very well themselves.
Farmers have a very high suicide rate. There's no one to talk to about their problems.
What a very good facility that he offers.
Darren wants to tap into our Rotary network to give him an opportunity to effectively be able to do more good . This is something we should encourage.
Administrative costs and travelling costs are an impediment for his good work.
Monday is our first board meeting. We will set up our objectives for the year
Please don't forget next Wednesday our meeting is again at Onyx who have been very good hosts to us
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

Marg Lucas chaired today's club meeting at the popular cafe and restaurant - Onyx in Reserve Road, Cheltenham. A lovely and bright cafe within an industrial zone of Cheltenham with great food and ambience - though also a space shared with other patrons.
Well, this event marked the end of my year as DG. I am grateful to President Ron and Marilyn along with Peter and Linda O'Brien and AG Helen Nodrum for their attendance and support. It was a great evening and one I was a little relieved to get through. A few photos follow and an album of photographs can be found here.
President Ron chaired today's club meeting in his last and official meeting as President. Larry performed invocation and the toast to Rotary and Australia. Apologies were received from Jo, Paul, Peter and Linda, Barry, Geoff Gl, Kevin, and Glenda.

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
I remind members that you are responsible for the information contained in the Club's database. This includes, birthdays, phone numbers, addresses etc etc. Even your own photo. You maintain this via this link.
