District 9800 Conferences 2012 & 2013

At lunch this week we had one of our regular monthly Club Forums.

David Pisterman told us about the District Conference just finished, and what a great occasion it had been. For example, to be reminded of the question “What other organisation would be given $100m on the basis of a handshake?”

Then Noel McInnes showed us the promotional video for the 2013 Conference which our club is organising in Albury, and told us about the planning. Members made suggestions, and Lorraine McInnes the conference committee’s stalwart secretary) took notes. Noel told us of the committee’s structure:
