Visiting Rotarians, Guests and Apologies
This week Jack brought a guest, Ben Price. Ben is a science teacher who has been in Bathurst 6 months.
We also had apologies from Tim S and Karl M.
Meeting Minutes
H&T was won by Rob B while Jack won the door prize.
This week’s meeting may seem to have been uneventful when you look at how short the blog is but there was some very important discussion around the dinner Chris B is organising for November 6.For those of you that missed the meeting, you’re now waaaay behind in the stuff that needs to happen for the night to be a success. Simply showing up on the night is not enough of a part for each of us to play since this leave the majority of work to just a few people.
Most importantly, we discussed soliciting prizes for the silent auction as well as ticket sales. If anybody has an "in" with a local business, please let Chris know ASAP.
From the meeting of September 7, Pres Pete sent through some notes that I’ve included below.

Finally, I’ve been asked to post again the instructions for doing an e-makeup meeting.
1. Go to http://www.rotary.org.au/
2. Click on “Rotary Districts”
3. Click on “9700”
4. Click on “Links”
5. Click on “Meeting Make-up at Rotary eClub”
6. Click on “Make-up programs”
7. You will arrive at a page of links to videos, podcasts and written articles about Rotary and its programs, leadership, social issues, and a whole lot of other interesting things. For an e-makeup, you should spend at least 30 minutes working your way through the programs. Take note of which ones you work through because you’ll need their titles later. Thirty minutes is not as tedious as it may sound at first… just writing this blog entry I got sidetracked reading articles and spent 40 minutes there without even realising it!
8. Once you’ve worked your way through the programs, click on “Request makeup”. You’ll be prompted to make a donation which you can think of as your weekly $15. However there is no requirement to donate and you can just look for the “Click here” link.
9. From there, find the button to “Request Makeup Form”
10. There are four pages you’ll need to fill out. There are red asterisks next to required fields… be sure to fill these in because when you try to submit the form, you’ll get sent back to the beginning if any required fields are missing.
11. On page two is where you need to enter how long you’ve spent on the different programs (minimum of 30 minutes) and the name(s) of the program(s) you reviewed.
12. On the fourth page is where you put where you want the record of your e-makeup to be emailed. You can either email it to yourself, print it, and bring it to David W to be recorded, or just enter David’s email address and it will be sent directly to him. David’s email is davidw(insert the symbol for ‘at’)wcbx.com.au.
Meeting of September 7
Apologies:
Anthony J
Steve E
Frank S
Sally B
Heads & Tails won by Dave N
Lucky Door Prize won by Adam S
Adam S: reported that both he and Chris B had done an enormous amount of work in costing the ‘build a house’ idea. They based the cost on a 4 bed; 2 car garage. With the kind generosity of Alan B they came to the conclusion that the profitability in the current climate would not be worthwhile based on the present sales in the area.
Chris B: indicated that he is after donated prizes for a silent raffle to be held on the gala night November 6. Prizes of around $25 – $125 accepted.
Bob P: is still after subs fellows; there is plenty of blanks...
Thank you to those fellows that helped out at the Edgell Jog. The new method of collecting shoe tags was certainly different and there were no spelling mistakes (editor’s note: Pres Pete was also present but was holding the camera).
