Meeting 2732
ANZACs Remembered
Rod McClure gave a most powerful
address to the Club. This historian and
guide at the War Memorial in Canberra
brought alive the experience of visiting
Turkey and in particular ANZAC Cove
and the surrounding battle fields.
The address brought the ANAZC tale
alive and no members could have left the
meeting unmoved by the passion and
knowledge of Rod and of his experiences
amongst the graves, amongst the visitors
to the site and from his contact with the
Turkish people who were genuine in their
admiration for the ANZAC men.
Thanks to David Ashford for bringing Rod to us.
DOOR TEAMS
May- R Sydenham, M Oglivy,
J Haslem, (P Wood (Backup Director)
This was an emotional week for
our nation as ANZAC Day was
celebrated. Our Club had a
series of events which
highlighted our thanks for those
who served our nation so well so
many years ago.
Peter Wood laid the wreath at
the ANZAC Day parade in
Batemans Bay. This was
reported as the best parade
and service held in the area.
The Club was most fortunate to have Rod
address us and to tell the tales from the
Battlefield. These tales were new and
brought home even more the sacrifice
made by so many.
ROSTERS
From the President
Linking things together
This week Rod McClure gave a
most interesting address for 75
minutes on his experiences at
ANZAC Cove.
To conclude the week the RMC
Duntroon Band gave a most
amazing concert at Batemans
Bay High School.
All reports I have had indicated
that this was an emotional
concert for many but one of the
best that has been delivered.
My thanks to all who paid a part
in linking the ANZAC Theme
through this week so that we
could remember those who
paid the ultimate sacrifice- the
giving of their life.
Lest we forget
John Haslem will need cover either from 20 May
please or for all of May. He will do another month
when he returns.

What a day! Thank you to all those who helped a little and a lot today for the Duntroon Band concert. It all went very well and many commented that the combination of song selection and the projected images behind made this the best concert ever! A HUGE thanks to David and Mi Ashford who are now relaxing on Green Island after organising all tickets and publicity and all bought food and drinks. A huge thank you also to the many Rotarians and partners who contributed a salad or dessert and who helped on the day. We can only do it so well with team work. Neil Simpson I know who deserves a HUGE thank you. It is Neil Simpson!!! First to arrive and last to leave. And perpetual motion all day. Problem solving, big or small, an eye for detail. Thanks Neil. Bruce Gruber * means getting the ice and milk
