CENTENARY OF ROTARY PROJECT.
Sue Carpenter outlined the 8 steps needed (including community consultation) to get the project underway and the chair invited comments and questions from the floor.
The first step was to get agreement in principle from members to provide shelters over some of the picnic tables in the plantation in Yea. Those present agreed in principle.
Ian circulated copies of drawings of proposed shelters and discussion followed with the result that more work needs to be done on the drawings.
Ian acknowledged all the time June Keath has donated to date in preparing these drawings
