Presidents Report:
Rod reported on some of the items from the Board meeting on Sunday:
The district governor will be in our district on the 5th to the 9th September. Ros has advised him that our board will meet with him on the 6th. Rod has also told the Bay Club of this arrangement also. Venue and time to be confirmed.
Honorary memberships will be presented at occasions to be organised in the near future.
Another inspection of the shed extensions were made this week. Draft plans are now being drawn up, including the new fire prevention specifications.
The Blue Sky Rotarians trip from Crawley Club is now being promoted. Ticket sales have been 26 sold already from 76 on offer in the first week. Please go to https://www.blueskytravel.org.au/esperance to check out the campaign.
Finally, we should all be upgrading our governance records; including the ‘Volunteer Declarations’, Working with Children and Police Clearance. Brett will be working on this if anyone has any queries.

From the Floor:
Steve Schmedje provided an Assistant Governor update; he acknowledged Kaj’s address re the regionalisation and reminded members to be across the changes planned.
Rob Leiper addressed the group; and that due to personal circumstances may need to vacate his post of meeting coordinator. He will reach out if he requires any assistance with programmes.
This Wednesday will be the last bike session for a while, due to having ample in storage at the moment.
