CLUB CONTAINER RESCUED FROM DROWNING.

Club Container at Andrew Duncan's Property

Greg Fitzgerald inspected the container today ( Friday the 3rd on April) and made a brief stock take. He also noticed that the roof was leaking.

Greg is interested in obtaining it and repairing the roof. He has offered to empty it and transport it to his factory in Hastings, and disposing of the remaining useless stuff; and is in the process of removing the maybe useful items, and transferring them to the Church shed that the club is now renting. He has also offered to dismantle the Art show panels and remove the metal side brackets and deliver them to the Dromana Secondary College and dispose of the timber panels.

This container as purchased by the club about 20 years ago

So what is its book value?
Applying any measure of ATO depreciation rules the book value of the Container would be virtually zero. Because it is damaged it is worth less than zero as we would have to take the cost of repair into account.

So Greg Fitzgerald would be doing the Club a favour by acquiring in and removing it at his expense.

The following motion was accepted by the board

The Club allows Greg Fitzgerald to take possession of the container at zero cost and accept his offer of disposal, as a outlined above.

CONFERENCE RIDE

There are still some members that have not paid their Conference Ride promise.

The board has decided that all the proceeds will go to Polio Plus, that you will know Rotary International along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has virtually eliminated Polio from the World. Only a couple of countries still have the disease in their communities.

So those that have not paid please do so immediately. If for some reason you are having difficulty with the online payment please let me know.
