- Close: 15 February 2021 at 10.00pm
- Interviews: Temora on the 21st March 2021 in the afternoon
Nominations are called for from Rotarians within District 9705 to fill the position of District Governor in the new District for the Rotary year 2023/24
District 9705 has over 80 Rotary clubs/Rotaract clubs, with approximately 2000 Rotarians. These clubs are organised into six regions each with no more than 15 clubs, and administered by an Area Governor who assists the District Governor in the administration of the District. The current District Governor-Elect is Leo Farrelly (PP Belconnen) and the District Governor-Nominee is Geraldine Rurenga (PP Wagga Murrumbidgee).
President Elect Training Seminar (PETS) is being held on the weekend of 20th and 21st February 2021 at Temora. 
This seminar is held annually to assist incoming Presidents in their preparation for their Presidential year. It is a requirement by RI and all club’s constitution that all Presidents Elect attend PETS and the training assembly unless excused by the governor-elect. If excused, the president-elect shall send a club representative. If the president-elect does not attend the presidents-elect training seminar and the training assembly and has not been excused by the governor-elect or, if excused, does not send a club representative to these meetings, the president-elect shall not serve as club president. The current president then shall continue to serve until the election of a successor who has attended a presidents-elect training seminar and training assembly or training deemed sufficient by the governor-elect.
This year PETS will also encompass the District Grants Seminar. Contact: Steve Hill
Registrations are now open for the 2021 District 9705 District Conference at Bathurst. Click on the racing tyre on your left to register.
Thank you for your patience but we have been trying to work our way through the implications of Covid 19 over the past year and it has been an ever- changing exercise.
But, we are now confident that things can proceed, albeit with some changes to past Conferences. Important here is that we are limited to 400 people inside the conference venue, and we are further limited to 360 people at the Conference Dinner and 300 people at the Welcome Function – all due to Covid restrictions.
Jessica Cooper from ARH has released the latest Facts Book from Australian Rotary Health.
Usually this is a hardcover book, and very few get into the hands of those who need it. Now it is available to everyone.
Read it through, skim to the parts you want, share it with others. It shows exactly what ARH does and can do. A valuable resource, from one of the jewels of Rotary in Australia.

If you would like me to be a guest speaker, I am more than happy to Zoom into a meeting, or face to face if it is practical.

In 2021, Rotary celebrates 100 years of community service in Australia and New Zealand. The 2021 event will also be recognised as the 30th Canberra Two-Day Walk. Register now for the two day challenge on 27-28 March 2021.Event Director, Chris Edwards, explained a key component of the vision for the 2021 event; ‘By renaming the event the Rotary Aussie Peace Walk, we hope to create a colourful festival weekend focused on peace. And, because of travel restrictions, our overseas friends can’t get here, so we encourage every entrant, to choose a country to represent. It may be their place of origin or just a country they are passionate about. But to choose a country and bring a little of the culture of your chosen country to the event.’
