Members of the Wagga band provided music at the Saturday Markets to the enjoyment of all those attending the day.  Greg Conkey, Wollundry member and saxaphonist posed for a photo.
Wagga Rotarians and contributers travelled to Cambodia to visit the school   they have sponsored and spend some time with the children.
Our Bunning Chefs used all their culinary skills to provide their customers with 5 star sausage and egg rolls in addition to promoting Rotary.
Service Above Self
 
Above is a photo of local village people unloading materials from a bardge to be used in the construction of a school for the children of the village.  Wollundry has been involved with the project for several years.
The table arrangement for our meetings has been modified to allow a large U formation with members face to face in a excellent social position to promote member communication and interaction.
John Ashcroft and John Horton are looking good at one of the first meetings of the new year.  John Horton made a presentation to the club of his life and experiences.  It was a PowerPoint with over 30 photos and very well presented.

David Byfield came to the podium and spoke about attending a special event on Monday evening December 9th at the Property of Adrian Lindner. 
As President of Coolamon Rotary, Adrian accepted a cheque for $10,000, on behalf of his  Rotary Club and all their members for all their involvement in supporting the Gears and Beers.  
 
Adrian and his property have a much more direct involvement in the Gears and Beers.  It is through his land of wheat and canola crops that the riders cycle each year.   The banner for Wollundry's internet home page is of a rider cycling through Adrian's canola crop.
Adrian's family have farmed their land for 6 generations. The homestead is over 100 years old.  The property name is " Lindoris", which is a combination of Lindner and Doris. The first living child born on the property was named "Doris". The road at the front of the property is Lindne's Lane.  For the cyclists, the homestead and out buildings are part of the charm of experiencing close up a beautiful and truly historic Australian property.
It was a clear beautiful country evening and someone pointed out the rare occurance of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Earth all alligned in a straight line.  The International Space Station was also observed for 7 minutes crossing the sky.
 
Wollundry Rotarians Bill Parker and Pat Ingram also attended the presentation.
Australian travel writer  Dan Slater has published an article in the Australian Geographic online that can only be described as a extremely complimentary description of his positive experiences in last years Gears and Beers and encouraging cyclists to come to Wagga and participate in  this years October 5th and 6th event.  He not only recognises the adventure of the ride, but the fun of the festival, the quality of the local craft beer and the great benefit to the community through the efforts of Wollundry Rotary and all their supporting community organizations.
 
He has titled it Best of both worlds: Riding Wagga’s Gears + Beers cycling festival.    The story subtitle goes:  The 2024 Beers and Gears is on October 6 and is a must-ride. Just ask Dan Slater, who recounts last year’s running of this unique event that combines bicycles and craft breweries in the best possible way.   Click here to read the article.
