Tuesday 14 May meeting due to low member registration / attendance was held in the board room and scheduled talk cancelled. Barbar was able to provide an update on the due diligence investigation of a potential project in Pakistan. Unfortunately the due diligence investigation meant that the project will not proceed. It was a great example of project management in that many cases, proponents cannot stop a project when it should be. A big thank you to Barbar for the investigation was expressed.
Barbar then outlined his recent visit to Pakistan along with the recent history and government structures and cultural implications. It was a highly interesting presentation and discussion.
Planning for the next two playground harvests has progressed and hope to provide dates at next weeks meeting.
Roy Francis will be our guest speaker this Tuesday 21 May 2023 and will talk about the work he does with the cancer council for prostate cancer and can speak first hand about his journey of surviving it. The club has historically done a lot in this area including the proceeds from a house (that Neil Fullard) built and sold for the purchase of specialist equipment in this area. Please register on the link to the left.
Kind regards,
Terry
