MINUTES OF MEETING OF LAST MEETING
President Ric opened the meeting by welcoming our guests Elaine Atkinson, Emily Batista of MSHS plus two supporters, our Guest Speaker and permanent Apexian Tim Bagshaw plus two visiting past and present Rotarians.
Emily has been chosen to attend the upcoming "Science Experience". She was invited to speak to the Club on what she hoped to achieve and did this very well. She is following in the footsteps of her sister whom we sponsored to the NYSF a few years ago. Alan W then reported on the RF Seminar which he had attended and gave a plug for the Million Dollar Dinner Fund Raiser.
After Chris B had performed his usual extortion act as Sergeant, Tim Bagshaw was introduced. Tim has been a long term advocate and fund raiser for the proposed hydrotherapy pool. This was not the first time that he has addressed the Club on this topic. He is now very hopeful, following discussions with Andrew Powell, that a decision will be made that will enable work to start on this project.
The plan is to set up a new pool house on the lower oval of the primary school (what about bike ed?). The building will contain a multi-lane 25 metre swimming pool and a separate hydrotherapy pool. It will include changing rooms and a kiosk and will be available to the public on a bookings basis throughout the day. It is also planned that the gym will be relocated to the same area.
The hydrotherapy pool will be funded by a grant and the substantial sum of over $300,000 that Tim's committee has collected. This new proposal represents an enormous step forward from Tim's previous talk on this topic and the meeting wished him every success in the coming negotiations. Alan W gave the vote of thanks.
NEW PAUL HARRIS FELLOW
Tim had scarcely resumed his seat when he was again called forward to be inducted as a Paul Harris Fellow by President Ric. This was greeted by a standing ovation from all present and left the recipient, for once maybe, lost for words.
The meeting then concluded.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR POST CHRISTMAS DINNER WORD GAMES
"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those who have a love for quirky phrases, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless."
A competition to see who can come up with the best examples of this is held every year in an undisclosed location. This year's winning submission is posted at the very end. Some of the runners up are given below. You are welcome to make up your own over the port and Christmas pudding:
- When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.
- A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
- When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.
- The batteries were given out free of charge.
- A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
- A will is a dead giveaway.
- With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
- You can’t beat a boiled egg.
- When you've seen one shopping centre, you've seen a mall.
- Police were summoned to a daycare centre where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
- Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now.
- A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.
- When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
- The guy who fell into an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.
- He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
- When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye.
- Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.
And the cream of the twisted crop:
- Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end.
