President Elect Bernie welcomed our Guest Speakers, then called on Alan Still to propose our International Toast to the Rotary Club of Khartoum, the only club in Sudan (population 39.6m). Gordon Hamilton entertained us with 3+ minutes on his colourful life and the build-up to his career in the Sporting Goods industry that really started with the purchase of a firearms company in New Zealand with tennis great Roy Emerson. In fact Gordon told us that, as a tennis player, he was No. 2 to Roy with whom he went to Public School, and boarded with at Ipswich Grammar for first year. In between, he worked with Golden Circle which exported a lot of Pineapple, principally to the UK when Gordon moved to London for a year and stayed for four before heading up the NSW operation on his return. Gloria van Donge was our Guest Speaker. She has written a series of books about a family of five gifted cheetah cubs is designed to provide a few snapshots of the world of the gifted and talented child. More information here.
