2 P a g e 2 Tuesday 25 th February At this week s meeting we discussed the proposed changes to the Club s By-Laws. The Board will meet and discuss the proposed changes and the members will be given a draft proposal to be discussed and voted on at a future meeting. Apologies were received from Louise Ritchie, Terry Lobban and Rob Grey. We were joined by a quest of Jacki Chandler s Ange. John Grimmond left the meeting early to attend a meeting on the Howrah Men s Shed. John has written the following update for you to read. The men s shed is close to being up and running. They have permission, and a grant of $3000 from Clarence City Council, to commence the planning and engineering report for the concrete slab. They have decided to join both the Tasmanian Men s Shed Association and the Australian Men s Shed Association. The cost for the first is $20pa, but they are not sure about the Aust. one. They have to join the Aust association in order to get a good discount on the insurance which will include Public Liability Insurance and personal injury insurance. The insurance will cost $24 per member, to come out of the $40 membership fee. They have eleven paid up member so far with myself and another accepted for membership last Tuesday, so the money in the bank amounts to $440. Out of this they already an account for $143 for registration for an ABN. The Clarence Council has indicated more funds for the purchase of the shed and they are applying for a Tasmanian Community Grant for the erection of the shed. The estimated total cost of purchase and erection is over $100,000 What they need right now is some working capital and it is my intention to ask the board for a donation of $500 to help out in this instance. I will keep you all informed of what is happening at the Howrah Men s Shed in future notices. Recently we received the following information regarding La Violante (Tall Ship) for consideration. Tasmanian Sailing Adventures (TSA) is currently restoring a 24 mt square-rigged sailing ship, LA VIOLANTE, that will meet all safety and survey requirements for charter work. It is hoped to have her up and sailing within the next few months. TSA is seeking expressions clubs that would be ship for their own projects, for Rotarians clients some of which may include and meetings, Personal of interest from Rotary interested in using this Rotarian meetings, R&R and/or business associates, Fund raising, Conferences development.

3 P a g e 3 The ship would be made available Free with Captain and qualified skilled crew. All other needs and costs would be met by the user/hirer. The ship will take 18 persons overnight and up to 50 on day voyages. TSA is in the process of upgrading the restoration to be able to meet the needs of the underprivileged and or disadvantaged of our society and to this end needs to know of any special needs clubs may foresee.
