We made 2 vocational visits and participated in “Clean up Australia Day”.

One sad feature of the year was the handing-in of its charter by Tenambit/Morpeth club. A side-effect of this was the decision by 4 members of that club to join us in the new Rotary year. Unfortunately, 3 members have indicated their intention to resign for personal reasons then, leaving numbers unchanged.
