Hi fellow magicians!
As we embrace the last 4 months of the year with the ‘Magic of Rotary’ we do have some exciting activities and community projects in the pipeline. Of course we have hosted MHERV at Bunnings so thankyou for all our helpers and it had some great numbers of people tested. We have had several Bunnings BBQs but they are going to be reduced over the next 12 months due to high demand from other community groups. We haven’t done a Farmers Markets in a while due to members being unable to meet the 7 minimum needed. Hence our fundraising will definitely take a hit this year unless we can come up with something else???? So put your thinking caps on ! Next weekend we are helping out Oberon Rotary with their BBQ at the Shakespeare festival. After meeting with the rest of our regional north group we came to the conclusion that we need to collaborate together for events and we will be! The other clubs are helping with our SEC on the 1st April so big thanks to all. So far we have over 40 volunteers and now 10 schools coming so we will have to juggle numbers to make it work! We thank Oberon, Blayney and Bathurst clubs and hopefully it will be fabulous. Don’t forget RYDA coming up in June. I will be working on the movie screening of The Promise about suicide awareness from Greenfrog and have asked the 2 Lions clubs and Bathurst to help with the hosting of the event of $5500. If we can split the costs we can surely make it happen and secretary Craig would like to involve the SES and other emergency services as well. So watch this space for more Rotary Magic!!!!!
On behalf of the MHERV Team, Susan Thompson thanks the Rotary Club of Bathurst Daybreak for hosting the 2 days of clinics held by the MHERV Nurse in February
We appreciated the time and effort that was put in to do the planning needed for the visit, which involved choosing a suitable location, setting up a roster of helpers to greet people at the reception, arranging accommodation for the RN and distributing the Publicity we provided.
Word is spreading and we are now getting requests from more towns to host the van. Our daily average last year was 32. So far on the current tour, we have averaged testing 41 people per day
Thank you also for helping spread the message in your community that:- “Just a 5 to 10 minute investment of time can save your own, or the life of someone you love”.
Born Leila Ida Bathurst Waddell · 10 August 1880 in Bathurst, the daughter of Mr @ Mrs David Waddell. She began her professional career as a violin teacher at Presbyterian Ladies' College, Croydon, Leila was also known as Laylah, who became a Scarlet Woman of Aleister Crowley, and a powerful historical figure in magick and Thelema in her own right.
Waddell herself was an accomplished writer and magician. In October and November 1910, Crowley starred Waddell and other members of his magical order the Argenteum Astrum in his series of dramatic planetary-based magical rites, the Rites of Eleusis, at London's Caxton Hall.In 1912, Waddell, and fellow Crowley students Mary Desti and Mary Butts, were given co-authorship credit on Crowley's Magick (Book 4) as they wrote down his words, helped shape them by asking defining questions, and elicited Crowley's commentary on pertinent points
The Bathurst Orange Development Corporation 1972-1988
- Hugh O'Reilly
The establishment of the Bathurst Orange Growth Centre was announced by the NSW Government in October 1972. This followed years of discussion about the need to ease pressure on Sydney and distribute economic growth and population around the state. Other areas considered were somewhere on the mid North Coast (around Coffs Harbour) and in the south of the state, which ended up being Albury, as part of the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre. To manage the Growth Centre, the NSW Government established the Bathurst-Orange Development Corporation from the 1st July 1974. Briefly, the Corporation’s role was to “promote, co-ordinate, manage and secure the orderly and economic development of the Growth Centre.

On 12th February, our Guest Speaker was Kathryn Bancroft
Kathryn has owned and operated Books Plus in Howick Street for 37 years. She has seen some significant changes in the book selling fraternity over the time. Most of the Rotary Club members have been customers of Books Plus at some time.
She has noticed that the rare no second hand books stores in Bathurst any longer, so maybe Lifeline's twice yearly book fare is filling the second hand book market.
