We hope you enjoy our new logo, designed by Hans and including our mission statement
“Adding value to the community”.
The new kitchen project is forging ahead with Mike as Project manager. Be very careful moving around this area as there are a lot of trip hazards. The sink plumbing will be rerouted under the new floor, and this should solve the poor drainage of the sink.
On 27th August we hosted five third year medical students who were on their community visits. Hans had made them Laser engraved Name badges and during morning smoko it was great to see Members engaging with the students. They send a report on their visit, and I will circulate this in due course.
Social Program
This is a new initiative hosted by Don, Chris Davies and me. All members are welcome, and we were specifically targeting those members who do not normally attend our normal open days. So far, we have had a mixture of events-talks on Monday nights as well as visits to interesting museums and workshops. Here are some of the events coming up:
Mark Colson Veterinarian Highlights
James Wilson Inventions
On Thursday 16th October we have booked the library from 7-9pm for a presentation on Internet Safety, scams and security. This will be hosted by us, and the guest speaker will be IT Specialist Eli Kennedy. The plan is to aim for 40 people and ask for a donation of $2 to cover the $75 fee for the library.
On November 13th at 1100 at Marina Cove, there will be a presentation by the Public Trust on Estate Planning, wills and enduring powers of attorney. Once again, we will cover the $50 fee by asking for a gold coin donation.
Health and Safety
If regular members are noted to be absent, please let me know and I can follow up by phone and help where needed.
Don and I are drafting an instruction sheet for the new kindling splitter. Once accepted by the Committee, training will be conducted and members signed off to operate this machinery. Hearing and eye protection will be mandatory.
On a general note, I think we can do better with the use of Protective gear such as ear defenders and safety glasses. Tim leads by example, but some members seem reluctant to protect their hearing, perhaps in the belief that as they are already deaf it can’t be helped.
