President Philip's Message

Last Tuesday was a great evening of fellowship at the Middle Park Bowling Club and even though the bowling was cancelled because of poor weather, we still enjoyed a wonderful barbeque as well as each other’s company.  Thanks to Bobbi Lehman Horn for organising the evening and Charles Stuart for being the chef behind the barbeque. ...

Last Week's Meeting

Meeting 520 was a fellowship meeting at the Middle Park Bowling Club.  Due to rain, we did not have lawn bowling.  However, we did have a wonderful BBQ with our own Charles Stuart as chef, a fine salad from Bobbi and, of course, lots of laughs and great fellowship.

DG Colin Muir's Weekly Message in Networker

(Issue 33, 8 March 2010)
March
is World Literacy Month
"Showcasing the Best of the West"

I write this week’s message from Margaret River in the south west of Western Australia as the District Conference Team from the RC of Werribee take a well earned R&R break after the Perth Conference. I am particularly relaxed at this moment while sitting back in the immaculate gardens of the Voyager Estate winery with an outstanding 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and reflect on our wonderful conference just completed. ...
