Our team for 2021/22

Time flies: even during this abnormal year of disruptions, lock-downs and, for some, quarantine. 

The club's AGM was held on Tuesday evening with 13 members attending (some via ZOOM)  and 4 apologies. The election of incoming officers was held and all positions have been filled.

The President for 2021/22 is Rick Van Brugge - a very popular choice. 

Rick has been the club secretary for two years and put in place a number of important improvements to club systems, especially communications. 

Rick has also energetically represented the club at cluster meetings and district events and provided valuable input to cluster activities and our club's involvement.

Well done Lindy

The meeting also acknowledged and congratulated President Lindy for her drive and enthusiasm in what has been a most difficult and unusual first 5 months of Presidency. The club has managed to function effectively with ZOOM and we have successfully held some important events (Awards night), fundraisers (Cars n'Clues), and completed valuable projects(In the Bag). 

There are still a number of important activities and projects in the second half of the year including Australian Rotary's 100 year celebrations on Australia Day and the Club's annual Golf Day in March 2021.

"Hole in the Wall" track to Shelly Beach Manly

Image
 1 October 2020 Sue arranged that all met at the Old Manly Hospital site just outside St Paul's school A group of 7 and set off up Bluefish Drive then walked east along a mostly well-formed track in North Head Sanctuary. Very soon we saw wildflowers of various colours and species     We then saw the 9.2 inch gun emplacements and the tunnels that support them. The area was completed in 1938 and in 2017 the guns were moved to be housed in Puckpunyal in Victoria at yet to be built artillery museum. They fired shells weighing 2 tons and had a range of 27Km (that's the distance from North Head to Parramatta).  The" hole in the wall" We didn't hear any frogs at the pond but all enjoyed a great view of the ocean cliffs along the walk and the relaxed at the Boathouse at Shelly Beach. Thank you to Sue you alread hada a walk in these parts in September. The group photo to record the event.
