Sally has organised for two teams from Rotary to be involved in the Tuesday night social bowls over the summer. Although the teams have had mixed results they have learnt a lot about bowls, had fun & Rotary has had a 'profile' in the community!! See below the 2 teams in the St Patricks Day final night... minus our leader Sally Angus!!
Local engineer Nigel Longman hosted local Rotarians at his Cromwell Luggate highway workshop recently. Nigel did his training in multiple trades in Australia but has been living in Cromwell since 2009 and running his main workshop in Rogers St since 2014. His more recent move to Lowburn has allowed him to maintain his primary engineering base in town, while at the same time pursue his long held hobby involving the more creative side of his trade. His large premises named 'The Metal Effect' now boast the necessary additional pieces of machinery and tools with which to do the sometimes quite delicate work, and a significant display of large and small art pieces for gardens walls and decks surrounds his new building. Included in these are a very impressive working BBQ and water wheel. Nigel commented that with the upcoming Wanaka Show where he will be exhibiting, he does not expect to get less busy anytime soon. After the last one he had orders for 20 outdoor fire pizza ovens !

Nick and a group of other members have asked me (Pam B) to lead the organising committee for the District 9980 Conference in Cromwell in 2022.
I plan to schedule a meeting of the organising committee before Christmas, to begin planning for this event.
If there are any other members who would like to be involved in the organisation of the conference could you please email me?
We will be developing teams for registrations, logistics, activities, speakers, catering, accommodation etc. If you have skills in any of these areas and would like to be involved in this great opportunity to showcase Cromwell and our Rotary Club please get in touch.
