Presidents Report

Well the sun came out on Saturday and so did the folks of Beaumar-is. I suspect we broke a few records at the Farmers Market. I knew it was going to be busy as we were selling steadily from the BBQ, from 8.00 which was very different from the last few months. I think we cooked 3 dozen eggs in the first hour or so, it then just kept go-ing. Many thanks to everybody who turned out to help; the more volunteers the more we can spread the work load. It was also great to see Wolf out and about and looking well.

On Wednesday 11th October I attended a Cluster President’s meet-ing with Lorraine Nicholas, Bob Richards, Jenny Fox and Liz Ware. We use these meeting to review what is going on at the clubs in the cluster and look for ways we can co-operate. I will be attending San-dringham Rotary Club’s meeting on the 24th October to hear “Rotarian Action Group Against Slavery” representatives speaking. If anyone would like to join me let me know and I will book you in.

There is a thought provoking article about Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking in the October issue of Rotary Down Under – well worth a read. It is not just something that happens overseas. For example there are estimated to be around 2,000 slaves here in Australia trapped in the sex trade. In 2015 -16 Australian Federal Police in-vestigated 69 incidents of forced or underage marriage. The Nation-al Children’s and Youth Law Centre estimate that there are about 250 incidents of this form of sexual slavery at any one time.

October still has a way to go. As well as our meeting on Thursday 19th, we have the Cheltenham Community Centre’s Children’s Festi-val on the 21st and on Thursday 26th we have the Mystery Bus Tour of Bayside. There will be four stops along the way where we will be wined and dined.

A reminder that Hampton and Sandringham Rotary Clubs will be hosting a pre-release of “Murder On The Orient Express” on Wednesday 8th November at the Palace Dendy Cinema, Church St Brighton. Timing is 6pm for film starting 6.30/7pm and the cost is $25 a head including a glass of red or white wine. Proceeds go to End Polio Now. We will be having our meeting at VGC on Thursday 9th November as normal and I suspect Race Week Millinery will feature.

In addition to the District Governors visit on 30th November we have Shia Smart the District Governor Elect Nominee (DG in David Hone’s year as President) visiting us on 2nd November and Lorraine Nicholas our AG visiting on 9th November.

Please remember that on Tuesday 5th December, we are having a joint meeting with Hampton Rotary at Milanos at Brighton Beach. Our speaker will be Niki Efstratiou from Bayside Council who will

share the results of the Council’s Youth Resilience Survey 2017. We will be back at VGC on Thursday 14th December for our Christmas Break - Up Dinner. There will not be a meeting on 21st December. Details of upcoming meetings are included on the club calendar which is available via our web page.

I look forward to catching up on Thursday when our speakers are Clarke Martin & Debbie Chaves who will be updating us on the progress of the new Beaumaris Secondary College. Have good week and remember our friends and colleagues struggling with health issues.

On-to-Conference Update

Last Saturday I attended the launch of the 9810 District Conference for 2018. Many of the issues we have raised in the past have finally been addressed and the conference is shaping up to be one of the best of recent times,

The conference will run from lunch-time on Friday 2 March to lunch-time Sunday 4 March 2018. The theme of the conference is “Together Towards Tomorrow” (or TTT for short!). An easy-to use conference website has been set up with all the details - go to

www.9810rotaryconference.org.au.

New features are a welcome lunch (free) for all first-time attendees and a cocktail party (not free) for all Rotary Foundation supporters (e.g. PHFs and Centurions).

The speaker line-up is looking very impressive, headlined by Noel Pearson and Tom Gleisner. Two of the session themes are indigenous issues and youth mental health – both issues in which our club has a particular interest.

This year sees significant changes to the pricing struc-ture. Instead of a single flat fee it will now be possible to pay for only partial attendance, e.g. a reduced fee for Saturday only. Check out the website for further details.

The venue is the convention centre at the recently re-purposed former Bendigo Sandhurst Gaol. The sessions will be held in the centre’s Ulumbarra Theatre which boasts a very large stage and the latest in audio-visual equipment. The Saturday Night gala dinner (the theme this year is Jailhouse Rock) will be at the brand-new Ben-digo Basketball Centre.

Accommodation has been booked at a motel near the convention centre – walking distance for some and a short drive for others.

Louise and I will be travelling up to Bendigo shortly to check out venues for the Friday night club dinner and to gather more information on particular attractions Bendigo can offer our members and partners. One option being considered is nine holes of golf at a country course on the drive home on the Sunday.

Whilst not binding at this stage, I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you are going to attend as this will help in making early bookings.

The Edithvale-Seaford Wetland is the largest natural wetland of its type in the Port Phillip and Westernport basins. It is all that remains of Carrum Carrum Swamp, which once covered more than 4,000 hectares from Mordialloc in the north to Frankston in the south.

In 2001 the Edithvale-Seaford Wetland was listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Moorabbin Airport currently supports in the order of 3,300 jobs on site.

Moorabbin Airport is consistently the 2nd -3rd busiest airport in Australia averaging 250,000+ movements per year..

Kingston has two major train lines that run through it;

Frankston line

Dandenong line

This Week’s Speaker: Jonathan Guttmann – General Manager Planning and Development, Kingston City Council Topic: Planning for the Future Jonathon’s talk ranged over:

• The nature of the City of Kingston

• The challenges and objectives for accommodating fu-ture population growth

• Broad plans for accommodating level crossing elimina-tion at Cheltenham and Mentone.

Here are the highlights from his presentation material.

As most of you are well aware, Kingston houses a diverse range of natural and man-made features – as many of us like to say – Kingston is a city within a city

The Kingston Foreshore stretches for over 13km and for the majority of its length it is an unbroken, sandy beach.

Kingston is also home to approximately 15,500 businesses, many of which are small to medium enterprises.

Manufacturing industry provides approx. 7,400 jobs.

There are 12 Green Wedge areas in Melbourne, spanning 17 Local Government Areas which collectively form a ring around the Melbourne metropolitan area.

Kingston Green wedge extends roughly from Karkarook Park in the north to Braeside Park in the south.

There are 11 golf courses within the City of Kingston. Plan Mel-bourne, the Metropolitan Planning Strategy, recognises the

The motion of water adds poetry to most any image. Traditionally, this shot would require a tripod and long exposure. But this im-age from Shenandoah was taken with an iPhone and the Slow Shutter Cam app.
