As I write this report there are only 4 more meetings until our Xmas party on the 14 th of December.
Where has the year gone?
Some of you will be aware that at our directors meeting last week the decision was taken to
postpone our Auction Night until early next year. There had been a slow uptake by members in the
organizing of auction items and also the advice that at least 10 of our members could not make the
night due to other commitments.
At our now rescheduled meeting for the 23 rd of November, the directors are proposing that we have
a full and frank discussion on the discussion document that Brian has circulated on behalf of the
directors and also another document prepared by Jane examining some of the issues as she sees
them in relation to participation and financing club activities. Please have a thorough read of both
these documents and come prepared for a robust discussion on the 23 rd .
At the directors meeting we received a letter from Jane advising that she wishes to take a step back
from Rotary and refocus her thoughts and objectives over the next few months. She will continue to
act as our treasurer in the interim but has advised that she will be away from the end of May and
will not continue as Treasurer beyond that point. Please give your thoughts to whom might have the
necessary skills to fulfill this roll going forward.
