MEETING HELD AT CAFÉ ELIXIR 25th NOVEMBER 2013
President Norm sent his apologies as he is still on the Country Trip with the Exchange
Students. By all accounts looking at the Facebook entries they have having a great time and
Anson will have to give a full account when he gets back.
Past President Owen Douglas our current Youth Director Chaired the meeting and welcomed
members and their partners that could attend plus a guest of Debbies Deidre who was in
Bangkok as a guest at the convention and also our guest speaker for this evening Brian Hol-
way. Owen also thanked the Management and Staff of Café Elixir for allowing us to hold a
meeting at their premises and providing the evenings meal. Owen mentioned that before Café
Elixir had started their business he was a lot slimmer and recommended everyone to book for
the Big Breakfast.
Owen directed us that When we had finished our meal and the Guest Speaker had given his
talk we could move across the Foyer of the Wanneroo Cultural Centre into the Theatrette to
see what the facility had to offer. No food or drink to be taken through into the other area apart
from water.
There were no Directors reports forthcoming so we were to just enjoy the fellowship and enjoy
the variety of the meals provided. There were many varieties of tasty treats which included
chicken skewers, lamb skewers, meat ball rissoles, small pizzas, curry puffs, curry lamb tarts
with many different sauces. Very nice indeed.
Owen thanked Beth, Trevor and staff again for a lovely meal that was enjoyed by all members.
Sargeants Session: Phil Cousins; Colin was fined for breaking something and also for break-
ing into the restaurant, Bill for losing his bowls game and also for falling off his car……, Clive
for getting a new car and also for buying some old 33 1/3 records at Debbies garage sale, Neil
for not going fishing on Friday and also for having a tag still on his trousers, Debbie for not
having Tea Bags at her garage sale, also Debbie pulled out a long hair and looked to Phil, Phil
assured her that it could not possibly be from him with his short hair, Paul for going down to
his farm, catching 2 Marron and then deciding that it was getting late so he puts them back
and then drives home, Tom (Choice of being a Pom or an Aussie ) Phil asked him to decide
but either way he paid his fine. Neil had a cross fine that backfired as he dobbed in Clive for
damaging his rear vision mirror last week but Clives wife didn’t know anything about it. She
does now. Phil was not going to embaress Clive as Margaret was present. Neil dobbed him in.
Everyone had a good laugh with the look on Clives face. Phil asked if anyone else wanted to
put their foot in it! No Takers……… Phil said to Clive that he was true to his word.
Peter Miskelly reminded everyone about the Golf on Sunday and to bring kids, grandkids etc
along for a good day. 8.00am breakfast for 9.00am start and then on to Rotary Park for lunch.
Secretary Graeme introduced our Guest Speaker: Brian Holloway who is the local barber with
his business B-Mi-Barber here in the Wanneroo Shopping Centre. Brian lives in Iluka and is
married with 4 children.
Unfortunately the microphone did not pick up Brian’s talk very well but the gist of his talk was
as follows.
Brian explained that he is running the barbers shop with a business partner Michelle in the
Wanneroo Shopping Centre B-Mi-Barber. Brian discussed the full process of how he started
the business with choosing a business partner, trading name, speaking with an accountant,
setting up the barbers shop and aquiring new chairs for the fitout. A very thorough descrip-
tion of how he is running his business with his clientelle, staffing levels and how he is going
from strength to strength.
We wish Brian and his team all the success in the future and if anyone needs to know where
to their hair cut remember B Mi Barber Shop 17b in the Wanneroo Central Shopping
Centre.
Neil Cook presented Brian with our customary glass and Pride of Workmanship Award.

The meeting then moved across to the Theatrette in the Wanneroo Cultural Centre that also
has the Library and Museum.
Ray Perkins showed some youtube clips of the Duck Races that have been held by other
clubs to give members an idea of how the Dolphin Race we are planning could be run. This
would be run to raise funds for Telethon and for local projects that both of the Wanneroo and
Hillarys clubs are working on and planning.
This would be held in October 2014 and run annually as an ongoing event.
