Awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2005 for their joint discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Gordon went on to praise the level of medical and scientific researchers in Australia, and also predicted that our next Nobel laureate could well be Doctor Ian Frazer for his work in developing the HPV vaccine for the prevention of cervical cancers. Ballet Haley and Abbey Barclay were introduced by our president Stewart McDonald. They talked about their lives growing up in Ballarat and their love of dance which began for both of them around the age of 3. Both very accomplished in ballet, they spoke about the challenge of setting up a ballet school in the 'cultural void' that is Geelong. By contrast, Ballarat has no football, but the publicity and support that the arts get in their city of origin is noticeably more prominent. More generally, they spoke of trying to lift the standing of the arts in Geelong by throwing their weight behind events like the Geelong Eisteddfod, which sadly is lacking publicity and support from the Geelong community, and is in danger of folding. Well done to both these talented youngsters, and I am sure we wish them all the best. Announcements Jason Ah Sam gave a reminder for the volunteer of the year awards, which are to be held next Wednesday, the 17 of August, 2011, at 17:30 hrs. The venue is the Geelong city hall in Gheringhap street, Geelong. Attendees were asked to be on time. Graham needs assistance with the footy gate keeping this Sat 13 th and 27 th of August.

How many zeros in a billion??? The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
