Local physiotherapist Aubrey Francis gave us an interesting insight into pearl farming. For one free physio session just ring his rooms and mention his free offer for Torquay Rotarians.
STAR OF THE MONTH
David Mitchell was recognised for his contributions to our club which include attendance lists every week, acting as Sergeant whenever called on to do so, talking to us about estate planning, running the Footy Finals Social Night, helping to run the Cup Eve Event and also opening his home for a social get-together on 1st December, which just happened to be his 26th anniversary in this club! Thanks David, your service above self is much appreciated.

Monday January 22nd, 2018 - Planning Meeting for Avenues of Service
The planning committee is meeting on 14th December and on 22nd Jan we will review our achievement of current projects and finalise our planning for the future.
