Greg Conkey OAM, PHF Past President and Current Member of Wollundry Rotary Club was elected Mayor Of Wagga Wagga on Monday.
 
On his arrival at our regular Tuesday lunchtime meeting Greg was met with enthusiastic applause from all present. 
 
We are proud of our popular Rotarian and we are all sure that he will do a great job in this most responsible role. Our congratulations go to Greg and his wife Jenny who will also assume a number of responsibilities as Lady Mayoress.
 
Greg addressed members and assured us that there were no deals done. His only condition on standing for the top job was that Dallas Tout would be his deputy and this was agreed to by his supporters. He praised outgoing Mayor Rod Kendall for the gracious manner he had accepted Greg's promotion and thanked Rod for the support he had offered. He said he was pleased that former mayor Kerry Pascoe, also a club member, was also on council and had offered advice and assistance.
 
Greg said he would stay an active member of Wollundry as he needed the members to keep his feet on the ground. He thanked everyone for their support.
 
Naturally Greg did not escape a substantial fine from our Sergeant John Gray.
