other news
We held our first ever District 9465
Network '18 Membership &
Club Building Seminars .
The central event at Manning went really well
with
excellent presentations by our Rotary Coach panel,
and Ron Gibson.
Feedback post-event was very good and there was a real buzz about the venue.
Having
members from 47 out of 54 clubs there made the day very special.
Our special
guests from D9455, including DG Lindsay Dry,
Rotary Coach Peter Durrant, Lindsay McLeod
and new DGN Graham Peden
(congratulations Graham!)
added special meaning to a great Rotary WA event.
The seminars utilised content from Manning and NSW
shared to all
locations.
Our regional seminars experienced audio problems on the day,
which
marred the experience for our country members,
and made things harder for our
Assistant Governors
who acted as regional facilitators.
A big thank you
to Ben Andrew, Ron Mildenhall, Carolyn Webster,
Susan Plewright, Gloria Moyle and Wes Graham
for their
efforts leading up to and on the day of Network '18.
First-time
events such as our innovative synchronised seminars
will always throw up
unexpected challenges and today was no exception.
I very much appreciated the
efforts of those who helped on
and before the day at Manning, including
and lots of others.
DG Bruce Lynch provided lots of support along
the way
and set the challenge well while opening and closing today's event.
Thanks Bruce.
And so

Communication
Terminal Communication is a
fixed-frame work
featuring the actions of drivers
as they approach a badly
signed junction leading
into Rosslare Harbour ferry port, in County Wexford.
Filmed from a vantage point overlooking the junction
the camera captures the
incidents which locals then claimed
was an everyday occurrence.
Since the work
was made the temporary blockade has been removed.
