Well last Tuesday night was our first meeting as a club in the brand new Deep Creek Reserve facility and WOW what a venue.  The new venue is just absolutely wonderful and will definitely make a change to our regular club meetings in future.
 
So for our first meeting in the new facility it was decided to have a social night and not have too much in the way of Rotary Formalities,
 
We had over 60 people in attendance and this was made up of our Rotarians and their Partners, Rotarians guests and our special friends the Inner Wheel Club of Pakenham. 
 
With the intention that this would be a social night there were only a few of the traditional Rotary activities with the meeting being opened by Chair for the night and Past President Ken Rook and he acknowledge the Guests that were present which included our Guest Speaker Lynne Westland a Past district Governor and her family, Pam Chalmers President of Inner Wheel, The members of Inner Wheel Club of Pakenham and the District DIK Representative Roger Thornton.  We also of course had District Treasurer Jim Wilson present but that may have been simply as the husband of our member Josie Wilson.
 
The evening was very enjoyable and the new facilities only added to the pleasure as did the view out of the Driving Range, Practice Putting Green and some of the Golf Club Fairways. 
 
The early part of the evening entailed three rounds of Trivia with three different tables winning each of the rounds.
 
Lynne Westland gave us all a very interesting about her time as a Singer and her experiences entertaining the troops in Vietnam and then about her son and his time in the army and deployment to Iraq.
 
The vote of Thanks was given to Lynne Westland by Past President Lyn Bunce and then the evening closed off with some entertainment from Lucy De Silva, apparently she is Lynne Westlands granddaughter and only 15 years old, who sang a few songs for us.
 
A good night was had by all and everyone headed off into the night talking about the great new venue.
