It was a great opportunity to meet the enthusiastic 4WD and caravanning group of Rotarians from New South Wales at the Cobb and Co last Thursday. President Katie and members gave them a warm welcome despite the grey and rainy Dunedin day. It was fun to be back at Cobb and Co for lunch for a day, and we loved seeing the staff operate 'Bella' their robotic food delivery cart!
After President Katie presented an overview of the highlights of our club history and current activities, Warren Mills spoke to introduce us to the visiting group. He told us their love of RV and caravanning brought them together in fellowship but at their heart they are all Rotarians and it is all about Rotary! They meet once a month and organise trips several times a year. For example, following the RI Convention in Australia in May this year, they organized 3-week adventure cross country trip for members and visitors and travelled from Melbourne to around the Murray River region. It sounds like an amazing fellowship group to be part of!
The group are on a sea adventure at present. They left Sydney on 19 November and travelled into Port Chalmers from Fiordland on Thu 17th. The cruise aboard the Royal Princess takes them on to Lyttleton, Wellington, Tauranga, Auckland and the Bay of Islands. They return to Sydney on Dec 2nd.
Here are some images from the lunch
