The International Toast was proposed by Jim, and instead of clubs, it was two two countries Pakistan and Afghanistan
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Not to mention Australia and France of course

So what is Regionalisation??

 

From Australia (four people)  not RI
Reset from District and Zone Eight

Zone 8–Australia/Papua New Guinea’s/Solomon Islands/New Zealand/South Pacific nations

- we have 31,000 members in seven countries

 

We need to reduce costs we would have area governors and (consolidate with Head Office
15th of September – vote
2/3 of the majority is needed to get it going

 

Movie  –

We enjoyed the discussion in the movie and there were some interesting speakers,
I'm sure I recognised the voice of the narrator, and I think it was at a hypnotism conference
And then someone clicked their fingers and the movie was over

? Frank
Authorise pilots - vote at the end?
RI stepped in - three years – back to Districts
The question “do you approve of a Zone Eight pilot project?”

 

Jim and Judy thanked Chris for his talk

 

Sergeant Richard gave us some two up

My notes get a bit fuzzy here but I believe we heard that Keannon did his 25 meter swim and he is going to do Nippers at Dicky Beach
& apparently somebody was loitering near IKEA for 2 1/2 hours waiting for two pillows
At this stage that the Sergeant started foaming at the mouth, and apparently will see it floating around for awhile yet

 

Jim is away for the next 2 1/2 weeks

 

Dave did a lightning Treasurers Report G $14K, P $12K, RYDA $17K

 

and then a flash committee meeting followed

 

James is away next week at Alice Springs, and Roger will be chairing the meeting

 

And a funny thing happened later in the day when somebody dropped the word “ectoplasm” into the general conservation,

and I had a sudden desire to quack and flap my wings
