Conference 2008 web site is now live with information and on-line registration.
Highlights include:

• Friday night Citizenship Dinner held after the business session in NSW Parliament House
• Saturday night's dinner cruise on board the MV Sydney 2000

Rotary Clubs have been invited to nominate candidates for the citizenship ceremony.

Please note that in Oct 2007 that Rotary International unveiled a completely reorganised version of its web site.

As a result of this there will be some links on the pages of this web site, to items on the RI site, that will now be incorrect. Our apologies, we plan to work through them and find the correct replacement link, but it will take some time. Not all links have changed, but a significant proportion have. If you notice one - and have located the correct URL, please send them to the webmaster via the link at the bottom of the page, that would help greatly.

A further outcome is that many Rotary Club web sites will need to check and update some of their links as well.

The Club List now includes a link to a Google map which shows the location of club venues. You can drag the view around the map, and zoom down to street level or out to the whole country. You can overlay satellite photo over the street map. When you have a view to suit your own club, you can select the "Link to this page" and the URL in your browser's address bar can be copied to a link on your club site which will reproduce that view. Please note any corrections to the webmaster.

The Rotary Club Health Check has been added to this site to help you rate and improve your club. Jump to its permanent download location on our Club Support Page.
