President Tyrrell’s Tales
You are reminded that this Thursday is a Club night followed by this month’s Board Meeting. In the past Club Nights have been very poorly attended, this is very disappointing as it is only through members’ participation that we can ascertain what members are thinking and what members want to focus on for the club for the rest of the year.
This Friday night is the Film Night with proceeds going to Polio Plus. Rosebud Rye Club has been very successful in selling tickets while we unfortunately have not been as successful. However for those who have decided to attend, I thank you on behalf on the campaign to eradicate polio and hope you have an enjoyable evening.
I enjoyed last week’s guest speaker’s presentation and found Dr Jim’s topic enlightening and informative.  We are lucky that PE Ross, with the aid of members’ suggestions, has been able to secure such high quality speakers to inform and entertain us week after week.
This week also saw the club participate in a very worthy community act whereby we were able to act upon Rotarian Pete’s recommendation to purchase and donate a wheelchair to assist a worthy recipient in our local community to become a little more mobile and to take some of the strain off the lady’s daughter. It is local acts of this kind that allows our local club to participate more in our local community.  Thank you Peter for your recommendation.
See you Thursday evening.

The Arthurs Seat SkyLift
 
Our guest speaker was Hans Brugman CEO of the currently being constructed Sky Lift
Hans is the Chief Executive Officer of Arthurs Seat Skylift Pty Ltd.
Since 2010, he has worked extensively with Victorian Government authorities, including Parks Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, and consulted with local business and community groups to modernize and re-establish this iconic tourist attraction, with a focus on safety, accessibility for all and minimal impact on the environment.
Hans has previously owned and managed several successful businesses in the car and project management industries.  A qualified aircraft engineer, he also has former experience in operating ski lifts in Victorian and international resorts.
Hans is a volunteer leader for Disability Surfing Australia, a passionate snow skier and also enjoys rock climbing and travelling.
Hans is very passionate about his project and let us know just how much thought has been put into the planning of the project.  The project does not only involve the construction and operation on the lift but its impact on the environment.  Much effort is going into the removal of weeds around the site, fostering of native vegetation, and protection of native fauna. Planning for bush fire evacuation has also been thought through, as is access for people with mobility issues.
