 other news



 We held our first ever District 9465 
Network '18 Membership & Club Building Seminars .
 The central event at Manning went really well with 
excellent presentations by our Rotary Coach panel,
 and Ron Gibson.
 Feedback post-event was very good and there was a real buzz about the venue.
Having members from 47 out of 54 clubs there made the day very special.
 Our special guests from D9455, including DG Lindsay Dry,
 Rotary Coach Peter DurrantLindsay McLeod 
and new DGN Graham Peden (congratulations Graham!) 
added special meaning to a great Rotary WA event.
The seminars utilised content from Manning and NSW 
shared to all locations.
 Our regional seminars experienced audio problems on the day,
 which marred the experience for our country members,
 and made things harder for our Assistant Governors
 who acted as regional facilitators. 
A big thank you to Ben AndrewRon MildenhallCarolyn Webster,
 Susan PlewrightGloria Moyle and Wes Graham 
for their efforts leading up to and on the day of Network '18.
First-time events such as our innovative synchronised seminars
 will always throw up unexpected challenges and today was no exception.
 I very much appreciated the efforts of those who helped on 
and before the day at Manning, including
 and lots of others.
DG Bruce Lynch provided lots of support along the way 
and set the challenge well while opening and closing today's event. 
Thanks Bruce.

And so Network '18 begins

Terminal Communication is a fixed-frame work 
featuring the actions of drivers 
as they approach a badly signed junction leading
 into Rosslare Harbour ferry port, in County Wexford.
 Filmed from a vantage point overlooking the junction
 the camera captures the incidents which locals then claimed
 was an everyday occurrence. 
Since the work was made the temporary blockade has been removed.
