Dear Members,
The positive response to this year’s Café refurbishment has far exceeded all expectations, translating to a 17% increase in utilisation and justifying our belief that continuous improvement will reap reward. Bearing this in mind, it gives me great pleasure to announce that over the Christmas break, the Club Restaurant will undergo a transformation and, all being well, will reopen with a fresh new look and feel on 1 February.
Although the Restaurant in its present form has enjoyed a reasonably successful history, in recent years Perth has experienced an explosion of new restaurants against which we find ourselves competing and in comparison, the Club’s Restaurant is considered quite dated. A crucial part of the refurbishment plan is to address the perceived stuffiness, by creating a modern yet elegant space that does not compete with the Café, yet is attractive to a broader Member demographic.
Part of the scope is to increase the sense of space by replacing the dividing wall with an island-shaped bar, opening the river vista and allowing both the restaurant and the bar area to engage with one another. Food service will be extended into the bar to create a mixture of casual and formal dining options and menu offerings will be increased to include informal light meals and tapas/share plate options in addition to a full a la carte menu. The lounge area will be transformed into a more traditional cocktail bar with offerings ranging from cocktails and whiskies to an extensive selection of premium wines by the glass. In addition, the bar will have its own espresso machine for
those Members looking to relax over a quiet coffee. To add to the ambience, upbeat live entertainment is planned for Friday evenings with subtle acoustic live music on Saturdays. Please note that the private dining rooms will remain as they currently are and will continue to be free of service charge for personal/private member functions.
For those interested in learning more about the refurbishment, display boards will be positioned within the reception and I would be more than happy to take you through the plans.
Last but not least, this commitment to reinvest and make continued improvements to the Club would not be possible without our Members’ continued support, so on behalf of the Club’s Board of Advisors, Management and Staff, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all Members and their families a peaceful and blessed Christmas and good health and happiness for the year to come.
I look forward to welcoming you back to your Club in 2016.

8 THE CLUB
What’s on
in the Club Restaurant
on the grapevine formal wine tastings
Tatachilla Date: Wednesday 3 February
When Tatachilla was established in 1903 in the fledgling
region of McLaren Vale it was the closest winery and
vineyard to the ocean. It was considered by many at the
time to be too close to the ocean, but after many successful
vintages this myth was dispelled and Tatachilla quickly
became one of the most significant in the region.
Fast forward over 110 years and the heart of Tatachilla
now resides in one of the outer edges of McLaren Vale. The
Clarendon vineyard is located in the hills to the north of
the McLaren Vale township and is an essential component
of the iconic Foundation Shiraz as well as the McLaren Vale
Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale Shiraz and the McLaren
Vale Merlot. Owing to the elevation of the vineyard, the
overnight temperatures here are cool and result in wines
of elegance and length.
Current custodian of the winemaking at Tatachilla is Jeremy
Ottawa. Growing up on the east coast of Australia, he was
never far from the ocean and was often in the water when
the surf was up. He was attracted to winemaking because
he didn’t want a real job, but soon discovered that it’s not
just about walking vineyards and tasting wine. He joined
Tatachilla from St Hallett and was attracted by the chance
to work in the beautiful surrounds of McLaren Vale and
the exciting fruit from Clarendon.
Join us each month for our formal wine tasting where a selected vineyard, wine style or region will be showcased by a winery representative. The wines sampled will be complemented by a selection of delicious ‘bites’. Make a night of it with our Tasting and Dinner package where you will enjoy the wine tasting followed by a two-course dinner in our award-winning Club Restaurant.
Time: 5.30pm–7.00pm Venue: Private Dining Room Price: $30.00 formal tasting only or $77.50 formal tasting and dinner package
Grant BurgeDate: Wednesday 2 March
Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa vigneron.
Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most
respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine
industry. The history of the Burge family and their long
association with winemaking in the region can be traced
back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge
immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in
Wiltshire, England, with his wife Eliza and their two sons.
With help from his sons Meshach and Henry, John’s farm
flourished with wheat, sheep and viticulture. His eldest
son Meshach continued the farming tradition and was a
prominent community leader. He married Emma in the
early 1900s and they had eight children. First-born Percival
established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the
Burge winemaking tradition. Percival had two sons,
Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one
son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and
forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking
tradition into the 21st century.

THE CLUB 9
in the Club Restaurant
New World vs Old World Presented by David Mullen from David Mullen Wine Agency
Date: Tuesday 16 February
In this dinner hosted by prominent wine merchant David
Mullen you will have the opportunity to taste some well-
known international wine styles and then compare them
to wines being produced by some passionate Australian
winemakers who have aspired to emulate their style.
The last 20 years has seen significant changes in the local
wine industry, not only in the varieties and styles being
produced but also in the range of readily available, good
quality imported wines. The most exciting aspect of the
new wave of imports is that we are seeing great examples
of previously little-known varieties from passionate, quality
focused producers.
This viticultural trip around the world will focus on wine
styles which are perfect for an Australian summer. Starting
with a quality prosecco, the match ups will compare a
Margaret River sauvignon blanc with a sancerre, a Clare
Valley pinot gris with an Italian pinot grigio, Australia’s
‘bench mark’ rose with an Italian ‘Chiaretto’ and a Clare
Valley grenache tempranillo with a Rioja Crianza.
The University Club’s monthly wine dinners offer an evening filled with fabulous wine which is complemented by a stunning three-course menu specifically designed to match each wine. Usually hosted by the winemaker or a representative from the label being presented, these wine dinners offer excellent value and guarantee a great night out.
Time: 7.00pm–10.00pm Venue: Club Restaurant Price: $99.00

Howard Park Date: Tuesday 15 March

family-owned winery producing a range of handcrafted
fine Australian wines from the state’s premier grape
growing regions of Margaret River and the Great
Southern.

Saturday 27 February Michelle Michau-Crawford Leaving Elvis
“We’re travelling light,
without excess, into our
future. Gran had been
rough as she uncurled my
hands from their position,
gripped around the open
car doorframe, and shoved
me into the passenger seat.”
A man returns from World
War II and struggles to
come to terms with what
has happened in his
absence. Almost 70 years
later, his middle-aged granddaughter packs up her late
grandmother’s home and discovers more than she had
bargained for. These two stories book-end 13 closely linked
stories of one family and the rippling of consequences
across three generations, played out against the backdrop
of a changing Australia.
A debut collection – as powerful as it is tender – from the
winner of the 2013 ABR Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize.
Saturday 19 March Kylie Bullo Reaching for the Canopy
“Temara had done her
species proud and proven
that captive orangutans
do have a place in the
jungle of tomorrow. I felt
honoured that I was by her
side during the first part of
her remarkable world-first
journey.”
In 2006, Kylie Bullo and
her colleagues at Perth
Zoo were part of a bold,
groundbreaking initiative
that many experts believed was doomed to failure – to
return a zoo-born orangutan to the wild. The orangutan
they chose was Temara, a fiery redhead with a will of her
own. Temara had always been strong, intelligent and
independent, but preparing for the return to the jungles
of her ancestors would put all her best qualities – and
those of her keepers – to the test.
This is the story of that incredible journey and of the
remarkable woman who helped make it happen. It proves
that the right blend of passion, compassion and hard
work can achieve what many thought was impossible.
And it brings new hope to those fighting to bring this
magnificent creature back from the brink of extinction.
These books will be for sale at a discounted Members’ rate at Club Reception during February and March.

The Earth Hour StoryIn Australia, Earth Hour is something that really brings
communities together, with one in every three Aussies taking
part.
Earth Hour launched in Sydney in 2007, with 2.2 million
people and 2100 businesses participating in the ‘lights off’
event. Just one year later, Earth Hour became a global
phenomenon with over 35 countries participating, and an
estimated 50–100 million people.
In 2015, Earth Hour was celebrated in over 162 countries and
over 7000 cities and towns worldwide. The symbolic hour has
grown into the world’s largest grassroots movement for the
environment, with beyond the hour projects and initiatives
happening throughout the year.
Earth Hour is a great homegrown success story: an Aussie
campaign designed to draw attention to tackling global
warming and get people talking about what we can do
to help.

An affordable and reliable electricity supply is an important
source of competitive advantage in today’s global economy.
For a time, Australia had relatively low electricity prices that
attracted electricity-intensive industries such as aluminium
production. Prior to the period of “microeconomic reform”
in the late 1980s and early 1990s, however, Australia’s
government-owned electricity supply monopolies were
inefficient by international standards and managed to turn
abundant, high quality, low cost primary energy sources into
expensive electricity. Australia was among the leaders in
reforming the electricity industry by introducing real markets
and competition at the wholesale level, and the country
reaped benefits from doing so. In recent years, however,
Australia has again lost its competitive position as a low cost
producer of electricity. Why has this happened, and what can
be done about it? Western Australia has never embraced the
idea of relying on competitive markets to determine resource
allocation and cost control in the electricity industry. WA is
headed for a period in which the electricity supply system will
be restructured and reformed. What is now considered “best
practice” for electricity market structure and rules? How can
WA take advantage of its natural resource endowments to
attain the most efficient electricity supply system?
Our panel will debate these issues at a breakfast coinciding
with the International Association for Energy Economics 5th
Asian Conference, being held at the UWA Business School
from February 14–17.

In her first solo exhibition in Australia, internationally acclaimed
artist Bharti Kher offers a window into her richly textured practice.
Her distinctive signature application of saris, bindis and moulded
forms is on display in a selection of wall works and sculptures that
imply a narrative.
Kher’s elegant yet diverse work is part visceral and part allegory,
stemming from the pulse of her New Delhi studio and informed
by a curious and cognisant imperative. Figurative sculptures resist
definition, dancing between mythical goddess and contemporary
portraits. Cell-like orbs and ellipses of layered bindis float in fields
of colour, suggesting bodily association. Inscribed rice grains invite
reflection upon cultural and physical sustenance, social and linguistic
attribution. Kher’s language is her own and it has brought her global
recognition in the contemporary art world.
Chamber Music Weekend
every chamber-music whim in a program performed by the
finest soloists and ensembles from Australia and abroad.
Highlights of this special weekend include a free complete
performance of the Bach Suites for Solo Cello by acclaimed
soloist Michael Goldschlager and a marathon performance
of Satie’s mythical Vexations going through the night from
Saturday evening. You’re also invited to a masterclass on
keyboard music, as well as the ‘Haydn Lottery’ where you,
the audience, select a work for Tinalley String Quartet to
rehearse and prepare for the very first time. Sunday is set
aside for Schubertiade, with six performances dedicated
to the works of one of the great romantics.
Join us for a single concert or settle in for the day and
bring a picnic or take advantage of the food and wine
available while you hang out under the trees or snooze
on the grass between concerts. Weekend passes are also
available to ensure you get your fill of this musical feast.

Voyage to the Moon is a contemporary take on an old
practice: a pastiche of music where gems from Handel
and Vivaldi are heard alongside rediscovered treasures
from little-known 18th-century composers, all put to new
words by legendary Australian playwright and director
Michael Gow, and woven seamlessly into a unified score by
international Baroque guru Alan Curtis. Sadly Alan Curtis
died unexpectedly, at his home in Florence, shortly before
completing this work. A true pioneer of the Early Music
movement, his loss has been felt around the world, and of
course by his colleagues here. The remainder of the score
will be completed by Australian composer, Calvin Bowman.
Orlando goes mad after a fight with his girlfriend. His
friend Astolfo travels to the Moon – where all things lost
on earth, including wits, may be found – and returns to
restore Orlando’s sanity. There is also a love triangle,
and supernatural beings, all brought to life by a stellar
collection of performers.
Reigning Australian singers, soprano Emma Matthews and
mezzo Sally-Anne Russell, share the stage with a brilliant
newcomer, bass-baritone Jeremy Kleeman. A hand-picked
band of leading chamber musicians with expertise in period
performance is led from the harpsichord by Phoebe Briggs,
Head of Music at Victorian Opera.
Voyage to the Moon is an exciting collaboration between
Musica Viva and Victorian Opera, in partnership with
a remarkable team of academics, led by Professor Jane
Davidson, from the Australian Research Council Centre of
Excellence for The History of Emotions.

In September 2015, 314 participants climbed from
the ground floor to the penthouse in Brookfield’s 108
St George’s Terrace Tower, formerly the BankWest Tower,
to raise over $40,000 for local WA charities, as part of the
Rotary WA’s Climb for a Smile event.
The event drew support from across Perth – schools,
businesses and other Rotary clubs which all came together
to help make the day a success.
One of the participants, who is also a member of Rotary
Crawley, successfully climbed all 50 levels and 1042 steps.
Kylie Forth is blind and, on one leg, was able to achieve
this to raise money for the charity End Polio.
Miss Forth, who lost her sight to childhood cancer
at age three, and then later lost her leg to the same
disease, completed the climb on crutches in a respectable
40 minutes.
“When I get an idea into my head, I won’t stop until I have
achieved it,” said Miss Forth. “Everyone has been asking
me how on earth I could climb all those steps, but for me
it is actually easier than if I decided to do a fun run. You
can’t get lost in a staircase! You are going up and you are
Rotary of Crawley Climb for a Smileturning left all the way up, there is the rhythm to climbing
and with walls on either side I can’t wander off.”
Miss Forth took the prize for the highest fundraiser at the
event, raising over $4000 for End Polio, a cause which has
recently had its Federal Government funding cut by half.
“My grandma actually had polio. End Polio is really good
cause and not many people think to sponsor it. The fact that
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donates $2 for every $1
raised is a bit of an incentive as well – it triples the money and
hopefully that makes a difference in eradicating the disease.
“Last year my team won gold at the World Blind Sailing
Championships in the US. I’ve been sailing competitively
since 2006 and have been the skipper of the Australian Blind
Sailing team since 2007,” said Miss Forth.
Rotarians have helped immunize more than two billion
children against polio in 122 countries since they began their
first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
Today, polio has been reduced by 99 per cent worldwide
and there are just three countries which are polio-endemic:
Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan.
It costs just 60 cents to vaccinate a child against polio. If you would like to donate, please go to www.endpolio.org

Sometimes one lifetime just isn’t enoughDonor and bequestor, Mirek Generowicz takes inspiration from the students he supports through a scholarship in memory of his parents, who “overcame extreme hardship through education, thanks to the kindness of strangers.”
“Education is such a powerful enabler. It allows people to achieve so much more of their potential,” says the UWA alumnus.
Meeting the students who have received the Generowicz scholarship has been a moving experience for Mirek and the recipients, including Kelsi Forrest, who is completing a double degree in Law and Arts, with Mirek’s help.
“As an Aboriginal person, I want a career that benefits my people. My ambition is to work in social justice and to protect human rights. I’m truly grateful for Mirek’s incredible support and encouragement,” says Kelsi.
