NEXT MEETING
CHANGE-OVER NIGHT
CHANGE-OVER NIGHT

We are holding an EVENING MEETING on this Tuesday, 28 June, 1977 for the installation of our new President, and the Change-over of the new Club Officers for the 1977/78 Rotary year.
ENTERTAINMENT: Robert Houston and Dawn Unsworth – the stars of song – taking us up the scale of delight.
MR MUSIC – JOHN MULLANY – two hands at the keyboard – pulling out all stops in his inimitable style at the organ.
SING-A-LONG – This is your big moment.
GUEST SPEAKER: This will be the night the roof falls in – when you listen to a very, very humorous Guest Speaker, of the fairest sex (we ‘re not allowed to tell you who) it’s a surprise.

Sgt-at-Arms: “Some Mothers Do Have ‘em” – Bryce Jones would appreciate anything that would strike a chord. (I don’t mean the stuff that holds up pyjamas) but something naughty but nice that’s been happening lately. Give him a ring, – or better still call into the store – there’s a sale on.
NOTE: There is no usual Luncheon meeting on this day, Tuesday 28 June – we are holding an Evening Meeting – it’ s Change-over Night.
DUTIES: There’s no specific list of duties but members may be asked to help in many ways.
TOP TABLE: Guests of the President.

Who wants to go visiting. I heard a bloke at another club say they put manure on their strawberries – we put cream on ours.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER:
Fellows; It is difficult to put into words the thoughts of the President in the last bulletin of his year. The finding of appropriate news for the President’s Corner is a very demanding task for somebody who was only very average at English, in fact very average at all subjects in his scholastic years. This week however, my task is easy. I hope that every one of you and your wives will make the effort to attend the Change-Over Night that Don and I promise to be an occasion you will always remember. The main items are in the bulletin this week and I am sure Club Service have arranged for us a very enjoyable and relaxing evening. Robin, Annette, Don and look forward to greeting you all at the door at 6.30 p.m. next Tuesday. I take this opportunity to offer my personal thanks to the Ladies of Rotary, and all members of our club for an enjoyable year in Rotary. Best wishes to Don and his team, for a successful Rotary year. PETER

CHANGE-OVER NIGHT – LADIES NIGHT.   The Rotary Wheel of time has once more turned its full circle, and it’s time for the old clocks to chime out as we wind up the new ones with new faces for this coming Rotary Year 1977/78. It’s all laid on at the H.B. Farmers – commencing in the Blue Room with fellowship, 6.30 p.m. to 7.15 p.m., followed by a sumptuous meal that will have your knife and fork working overtime. First class entertainment for your pleasure and if you want to get wound up yourself, you can even let your two left feet go into a knees-up. This is the night when your presence is a show of appreciation to President Peter and his wife, Robin, allowing us to share Rotary with them during this past Rotary year, and also to give support to incoming president Don and his wife, Annette, as we once more prepare to all walk together under the Rotary Banner, down the path of service. The cost is only $8 single – $16 double, and some Lucky person gets to sit next to me. Ladies, don’t forget to wear your name badge – we like to say hello. Well, that’s it – looking forward to meeting you all at the Change-Over Night, Tuesday evening 28 June.
