Presidents Report

It is always a pleasure to hear from one of our memberswhen they give their “Person behind the badge” talk. Ibelieve some of our most interesting speakers have beenour own members, especially when a new member shareshis or her life’s experiences with the other members ofour club.

So we heard from Martin Fothergill, who is already oneof our more industrious and active members. We learntthat what Martin does for enjoyment seems highly dan-gerous to most of us! For a bit of fun he races cars at highspeed and jumps out of aeroplanes (with or without hisglasses). He is obviously an adrenalin junkie!

Thank you Martin for your informative and entertainingpresentation – it is a privilege and a pleasure to haveyou in RCOB.

Martin’s wife Theresa joined us for our meeting, as wellas Kathy Every. As I have said many times, it is always adelight to welcome partners to our meetings.

Thank you Greg for being our stand-in Chairman andhost for the evening. Also a big thank you must go toHeather who did so much to make the district MUNAevent so successful (as well as all the other things she isorganising!). It is members like Greg and Heather whohelp keep the Rotary wheels turning.

I attended the district Presidents meeting last Fridaynight, where I received a good insight into what is hap-pening in district and other clubs.

There are some interesting projects that other clubs areinvolved with, and particularly projects along the lines of“Peace through Service”, the Rotary International themefor 2012/2013. For example, Doncaster Rotary have aproject to help combat family violence, Hampton arebuilding a Peace Pavilion and Dingley Village are assist-ing an Afghanistan refugee to assimilate into our society.

We also got an update on the Rotary International Coun-cil on Legislation recently held in Chicago and attendedby PDG Jenny Coburn. There were a lot of resolutions

passed, too many to mention here, but I am sure wewill be formally told sometime soon what changeswe need to make to our Constitution and Club Rules.To give you a taste, there will be different rules forwhat constitutes attendance, the “85 rule” will nothave an age component, and New Generations will

become “Youth Service”.

This week (16 May) we meet again at VGC wherewe will learn about traditional Chinese culture froma Shen Yun performer. Not sure what Shen Yun isbut I can’t wait to find out!

Stay safe everyone.

This Week’s Speaker; Martin FothergillTopic; The Person Behind the Badge

Martin chose to begin his talk in a unique participa-tive style complete with prizes (see photo below).From this we gather he thinks he is a male (but ispossibly a bit un-sure), born in theearly 1950s in aCounty adjacent toLondon. We doknow that he hasbeen married toTheresa (on the leftin photo) for 38years and theyhave two sons.

Martin challengedthe education system and attended the University oflife. Starting in the paper industry in 1970 in thesample department as post boy of a paper mer-chant and ended up running one of the most success-ful and profitable merchants in Europe.

The UK and Irish merchant where he was MD waseventually taken over by an Australian business.

Martin moved to Australia in 2005 and headed upthe Australian, NZ and Asian business.

After retiring in 2010 Martin and Teresa decided tostay on in Australia and recently became Australiancitizens.

Martin fills in his week with;GrandsonGolfSailingVolunteer SandybeachPlumbing Business (doing the accounts for his

son’s business)Rotary

His hobbies include;Golf, where he recently had a hole in one!Fast Cars,Photography,Adrenalin Activities
