Around the Club 7-8-2012

 Wayne Worladge – RCH Alumnus

It’s always good to see current club members, and alumni of our club, doing well.  So it was great to have Wayne Worladge (formerly of our club, but now with R.C. Glenferrie) at our lunch to listen to our speaker.  The Shadow understands that Wayne is on their Men’s Shed committee (and hence came to hear our speaker on that topic) – so it’s no surprise to see that the RC Glenferrie has his name and his phone no. (0418 367 799) on their flyer seeking assistance generally.

 “For a Huge Transfer Fee!”

So cried a voice (did it belong to Chris Hanson, our king of sergeants?) when our guest speaker Jill Cavanagh (from R.C. Central Melbourne-Sunrise) said she wished she could kidnap our Sergeant for the day and take him to her club.  The Shadow reckons that first time sergeant, Lawrence Reddaway, may regret that the bar has thus been set so high for his future in this role!

 Rotary eClub of Melbourne

So Rotary creeps over yet another technological hurdle:  a Rotary Club that holds virtual meetings rather than physical ones!  The Shadow reckons we will all have to at least try this out.  Interesting to hear that our very own Richard Groom is one of the team that has brought this to fruition.

 “It’s mostly women who push their men into the shed”

That’s how The Shadow recalls one comment from our lunch.  Glad that there was no talk about shed keys.

 The Poor Irish

A bemused Shadow's lack of Irish ancestory will probably mean that a senior office bearer of the club will suffer no ill following his/her story of the Irishman lumping a roll of chicken wire into the fencing events at the London Olympics.
