PRESIDENT'S REPORT – AUGUST 2011 Thankyou for electing me as your President for another year. I will endeavour to earn the trust that you have placed in me. I intend to continue with my aim of maintaining the success that the Club enjoys and pursuing more and better ways that the Club can serve it's members. In this regard, I again stress, we need your feedback and suggestions. I personally would like to see the Club have more social functions for members to enjoy. In the past our two main social functions are held in Summer (Christmas Party and New Year Barbecue). Maybe we could have two more, one in Autumn and one in Spring. What do you think? We also need to look for ways to improve our annual Bird Sale & Expo to make it a better and bigger event. Any suggestions? Good guest speakers for our monthly meetings are getting harder to find, so we will need to find alternative ways to inform and entertain you. I believe that the Club can easily afford to spend more on entertaining, informing and providing extra services to it's members from the funds it has and continues to raise from it's various activities, (ie. raffles, service item sales, seed orders, bird sale etc.) I would like to welcome Roger Leslie and Brian Agars to the Committee and personally thank retiring Committee Member Marcus Schnieder and Function Coordinator Trevor Billing for their past efforts. I look forward to working with the new Committee and serving you during the coming year. Kind regards, Rhett.

STOP PRESS:- At the AGM there was one Committee Member position left vacant due to the lack of any nomination from those present. Following an approach by Vice President Barrie Duffield to Peter Jennings (who was not present at the AGM), Peter nominated to fill the position and was subsequently appointed by the new Committee at it's first meeting. We will seek to have this appointment ratified by members at the August meeting as required by the Club's constitution.
