PRESIDENT ELECT’S REPORT
Cup Day at Bendigo Rotary Club was a day of stand ins.
With President Brian still in Melbourne at Bev’s side, I stood in as President. I may not have done a better job than I did last time, but at least this time I wasn’t nervous!
The other winners were Alida Robinson and Graeme Clarke. Thanks to everyone for making the effort.
Stand-in Sergeant Peter Reading kicked off proceedings at 1pm, as the last places in the Cup Sweeps were being filled. Stand-in Treasurer Brian Doherty sent the silver pot and raffle bucket around. Thanks to both of you for stepping in. Our guests today were John Hunter from RC Adelaide, and my partner Robert Niemann.
There were hats everywhere today, and straw seemed to be the predominant hat material, although judges Joy Bruce and Zsofi Szabo awarded top honours to Frank Lean’s effort.
PRESIDENT Brian Figg
SECRETARY Kaye Graves
The feature of the meeting of course was Bryan McMahon’s phantom call of the Melbourne Cup. Too much to summarise! You just had to be there. Thanks, Bryan.

However, if I heard you correctly I was riding on the 27th for our next great debate. Recycled water is the topic and Mr Rigby, appropriately enough, will Americain, so no wonder it ran so poorly! Of course there were also the $5, $2, and $1 cup be back to judge the battle between Glenn Reilly (c), sweeps, and our race fixers were Graeme Clarke and Wayne Smith and John Gallagher up against Ted Brian Doherty. Soon after the meeting closed came Rankins (c), Val Barker and Peter Reading. Please the race itself, with Green Moon beating out Fiorente, plan on coming out to make this an even better while Jakkalberry took third. Ethiopia got the spoon. evening than the last debate was. Sweeps winners are below and full list is included. SWEEP

Glenn Reilly presented a quick wrap up and thank you for the Operation Cleft golf night. A soggy afternoon, but the rain cleared in time to get the event away.

Notes on the creation of Penna’s Breakfast
FROM THE LONDON TIMES:
A Well-Planned Retirement
Outside England’s Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, it’s parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were for cars £1.40 and buses about £7. Then, one day, after 25 years solid years of never missing a day off work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy.... is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own, and then, had simply begun to show up every day, to collect (and keep) the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day...... for 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £7 million.... and no one even knows his name. A perfect example of government mismanagement.
The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo’s own responsibility. The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee. The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll. ................starting to get the picture??
CAMP GETAWAY - WORKING BEE
It was decided at the last Camp Getaway meeting that a working be would be held on site to do the preparation for a concrete slab for the first stage of the kitchen re-development project, which is a storage shed. Date - THIS WEEKEND - Nov 10th & 11th - any time, even an hour, over those two days would be appreciated. Bring - shovel
Tasks - spreading of sand and digging of footing trenches for shed slab. Please bring this working bee opportunity to the attention of your club. Thanks Paul Kirkpatrick, Chair - Camp Getaway
HELLO FROM SWEDEN Hello rotary
I have started school again which is great to be back to! I started in a new class and am enjoying it immensely! I have made a lot of new friends in my class and my Swedish has improved greatly, I can now understand everything and am able to speak a lot too. The football season has finished and my team finished second but we never lost to the team on top which I think is quite an achievement! I also went to a Swedish elitserien ice hockey match! The elitserien is the top level of swedish ice hockey like the AFL for Hockey! It was a lot of fun but the team I support lost to their rivals in the area!
 I have also had some very typical Swedish experiences this past month! I had my birthday which was a great day but very strange to be spent away from my family and my twin sister! When you have your birthday in Sweden they sing for you in the morning and bring in a tray with cakes and coffee all of this is while you are half asleep just waking up it is it’s really quite amazing! I went to a New Zealand comedian the night after who has been living in Sweden with his wife for a few years, everything he said was exactly what I had experienced as an exchange student in Sweden it was hilarious!
They hunt the moose in the furset and surrounding scrub areas! I have also recently been on a trip to stockholm! It was a lot of fun and I made some new friends witht the exchange students who have now arrived in Sweden. I had a fantastic week visiting the beautiful capital of Sweden!!
The other thing I did was go moose hunting, it was a lot of fun and very interesting, it is set up much like how a lion hunts with shooters lined up along sides The weather is now quite cold and it did snow for the and then people in a drive yelling and making noise first time about a week ago but it has not hung around, so at the moment it is around 3-4 durinmg the day and scaring the moose towards the shooters! -5 at night so it is very icy in the mornings. We only shot one calf but it was a lot of fun even though it was freezing! The hunters slaughter the That has been about all recently, everything has settled moose using all the meat and some keep the skin plus down and I am still having a wonderful time! if it is a big buck they keep the horns to put on display. From Liam (OBERIN)
THE FOUR WAY TEST 1. Is it the TRUTH?
of the things we think, say or do...
3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all conerned?
