Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise Page | 1 Well it was great to be back with you all again this week after another couple of weeks out west. Our meeting on Tuesday had a small turnout which is unusual for our Melbourne Cup games session but what we lacked in numbers we made up for with enthusiasm when it came to the running of the Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise Cup. This year our course was a tricky 2 lap affair which was eventually won by the grey stallion Chris Gascoine followed by Shirley Roberts (great to see her back) and Ian Carman. There was a bit of rough horseplay after being lead out early by Mark Thompson who bolted early, but the stayers came through in the end. Anyway it was a great morning with amazing food as per usual thanks to our great chefs Gary and Leonie, and a jovial morning of horsing around. As we had no speaker I have a bit of room to update you all at what we are planning in the next few months. With Christmas around the corner we are planning a club Christmas social afternoon at Nightingale Park on Sunday December 16 th which will be a great opportunity to socialize together before the break; more to come on that in the next few weeks. Speaking of Nightingale Park we are planning a club working bee there as it is in need of a bit of TLC. This will require a bit of planning so it will probably be occurring sometime in the New Year. Our Christmas Market as usual will be a biggie and we are running a Christmas raffle this year with a huge first prize. As with each Market, but with this one in particular we will need as many hands on deck as possible so mark December 9 th down in your diary for this. In the New Year we are looking at holding a fun day for Canteen which we are organizing for kids in our area in conjunction with the charity. It should be a lot of fun and be a great opportunity for us to get out in the community. So we have a few things coming up which are very exciting for us as a club and gives us all an opportunity to get together as friends and enjoy the fellowship. Lastly, we have our first night meeting with partners this coming Tuesday at Cafe va Bene where we will be meeting our outgoing GSE team for next year. They will be heading to Taiwan in January so it is a very exciting time for them at the moment and will be great to hear from them. If you want to attend and have not let me know already, just email me at [email protected] before Sunday. See you all then!! GREG

Well it was great to be back with you all again this week after another couple of weeks out west. Our
meeting on Tuesday had a small turnout which is unusual for our Melbourne Cup games session but what
we lacked in numbers we made up for with enthusiasm when it came to the running of the Rotary Club of
Magill Sunrise Cup. This year our course was a tricky 2 lap affair which was eventually won by the grey
stallion Chris Gascoine followed by Shirley Roberts (great to see her back) and Ian Carman. There was a bit
of rough horseplay after being lead out early by Mark Thompson who bolted early, but the stayers came
through in the end. Anyway it was a great morning with amazing food as per usual thanks to our great chefs
Gary and Leonie, and a jovial morning of horsing around.
As we had no speaker I have a bit of room to update you all at what we are planning in the next few
months. With Christmas around the corner we are planning a club Christmas social afternoon at Nightingale
Park on Sunday December 16th which will be a great opportunity to socialize together before the break;
more to come on that in the next few weeks.
Speaking of Nightingale Park we are planning a club working bee there as it is in need of a bit of TLC. This
will require a bit of planning so it will probably be occurring sometime in the New Year. Our Christmas
Market as usual will be a biggie and we are running a Christmas raffle this year with a huge first prize. As
with each Market, but with this one in particular we will need as many hands on deck as possible so mark
December 9th down in your diary for this. In the New Year we are looking at holding a fun day for Canteen
which we are organizing for kids in our area in conjunction with the charity. It should be a lot of fun and be a
great opportunity for us to get out in the community. So we have a few things coming up which are very
exciting for us as a club and gives us all an opportunity to get together as friends and enjoy the fellowship.
Lastly, we have our first night meeting with partners this coming Tuesday at Cafe va Bene where we will be
meeting our outgoing GSE team for next year. They will be heading to Taiwan in January so it is a very
exciting time for them at the moment and will be great to hear from them. If you want to attend and have
not let me know already, just email me at [email protected] before Sunday.
See you all then!!

1861 - Queensland is linked with New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia by telegraph.
1999 - Australia votes against becoming a republic in a national referendum.
1860 - Former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln defeated three other candidates for the
United States presidency.
1991 - Kuwait celebrated the dousing of the last of the oil fires ignited by Iraq during the
Persian Gulf War.
Thought for the Day 1: When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much.
Thought for the Day 2: Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up
because they are looking for ideas.
