Cup Day at Bendigo Rotary Club was a day of stand ins.

With President Brian still in Melbourne at Bev’s side, I stood in as President. I may not have done a better job than I did last time, but at least this time I wasn’t nervous!

Stand-in Sergeant Peter Reading kicked off proceedings at 1pm, as the last places in the Cup Sweeps were being filled. Stand-in Treasurer Brian Doherty sent the silver pot and raffle bucket around. Thanks to both of you for stepping in.

Our guests today were John Hunter from RC Adelaide, and my partner Robert Niemann.

There were hats everywhere today, and straw seemed to be the predominant hat material, although judges Joy Bruce and Zsofi Szabo awarded top honours to Frank Lean’s effort.

The other winners were Alida Robinson and Graeme Clarke. Thanks to everyone for making the effort.

The feature of the meeting of course was Bryan McMahon’s phantom call of the Melbourne Cup. Too much to summarise! You just had to be there. Thanks, Bryan.

However, if I heard you correctly I was riding Americain, so no wonder it ran so poorly!

Of course there were also the $5, $2, and $1 cup sweeps, and our race fixers were Graeme Clarke and Brian Doherty. Soon after the meeting closed came the race itself, with Green Moon beating out Fiorente, while Jakkalberry took third. Ethiopia got the spoon. Sweeps winners are below and full list is included.

Glenn Reilly presented a quick wrap up and thank you for the Operation Cleft golf night. A soggy afternoon,

but the rain cleared in time to get the event away.

Libby Hughes reminded everyone of the Swap Meet coming up 16 – 18 November. We still need a few volunteers for Sunday shifts. I’ve dragooned my mother for sandwich prep on Friday morning. Who can you get to help us out?

Upcoming speakers this month include Ramona Firouzi from Sweden on the 13th and Coliban CEO Jeff Rigby on the 20th, when we will also hold everyone’s favourite annual formality, our AGM.

Then, it’s a night meeting

on the 27th for our next great debate. Recycled water is the topic and Mr Rigby, appropriately enough, will be back to judge the battle between Glenn Reilly (c), Wayne Smith and John Gallagher up against Ted Rankins (c), Val Barker and Peter Reading. Please plan on coming out to make this an even better evening than the last debate was.

Thanks,

Tom

BENDIGO INNER WHEEL CLUBRotarians, please contact Gwen Rankins (Ph: 5443 2215: grankins@ozemail.com.au ) if you are intending to join us for Dinner at the Schweppes Centre on Tuesday 20 November.

We realize that you have just come off a hard weekend at the Swap Meet, but how better way to relax than taking your partner out and letting her spoil you!

We will be gathering about 6.30pm, and just dining with friends. If you have been rung and invited, please say yes, and we’ll see you there! Any further information is available from Gwen.

Notes on the creation of Penna’s Breakfast

Outside England’s Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses.

For 25 years, it’s parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were for cars £1.40 and buses about £7.

Then, one day, after 25 years solid years of never missing a day off work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.

The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo’s own responsibility.

The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.

The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.

................starting to get the picture??

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy.... is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own, and then, had simply begun to show up every day, to collect (and keep) the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day...... for 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £7 million.... and no one even knows his name.

A perfect example of government mismanagement.

FROM THE LONDON TIMES:

Hello rotary

I have started school again which is great to be back to! I started in a new class and am enjoying it immensely! I have made a lot of new friends in my class and my Swedish has improved greatly, I can now understand everything and am able to speak a lot too.

The football season has finished and my team finished second but we never lost to the team on top which I think is quite an achievement! I also went to a Swedish elitserien ice hockey match! The elitserien is the top level of swedish ice hockey like the AFL for Hockey! It was a lot of fun but the team I support lost to their rivals in the area!

I have also had some very typical Swedish experiences this past month! I had my birthday which was a great day but very strange to be spent away from my family and my twin sister! When you have your birthday in Sweden they sing for you in the morning and bring in a tray with cakes and coffee all of this is while you are half asleep just waking up it is it’s really quite amazing!

I went to a New Zealand comedian the night after who has been living in Sweden with his wife for a few years, everything he said was exactly what I had experienced as an exchange student in Sweden it was hilarious!

The other thing I did was go moose hunting, it was a lot of fun and very interesting, it is set up much like how a lion hunts with shooters lined up along sides and then people in a drive yelling and making noise scaring the moose towards the shooters!

We only shot one calf but it was a lot of fun even though it was freezing! The hunters slaughter the moose using all the meat and some keep the skin plus if it is a big buck they keep the horns to put on display.

They hunt the moose in the furset and surrounding scrub areas!

I have also recently been on a trip to stockholm! It was a lot of fun and I made some new friends witht the exchange students who have now arrived in Sweden. I had a fantastic week visiting the beautiful capital of Sweden!!

The weather is now quite cold and it did snow for the first time about a week ago but it has not hung around, so at the moment it is around 3-4 durinmg the day and -5 at night so it is very icy in the mornings.

That has been about all recently, everything has settled down and I am still having a wonderful time!

From Liam (OBERIN)
