6Firewood Delivered in Record TimeBy Dee MakanSunday, 15 April - 9.00am: The sun was shining, birds were singing and the team of Lionshumming as they watched the front end loader fill trailers and utes in seconds.Due to the dry conditions the loads were easier and faster todeliver. Even with an increase of Senior recipients this yeareveryone got a very full trailer load.Because of the quick turnaround with enthusiasm of eachdelivery, morning tea was nearly forgotten (10.25am). Oneappreciative Senior gave a plate of cakes as a thank you.At around 11.15am the last load was delivered and one Lionremarked that as this was easy, maybe we should have hadmore, but he was the one delivering in a ute using the tip.Many thanks to Paul Yearbury for his time and loader which made it easy to do the job in recordtime.A most enjoyable and satisfying project throughLionism.Dee, Ray S, Warwick, Peter, Ken H, Clive, Tim,Doug M, Paul Yearbury, Bob.

7Hutson, Bob, Allan and I arrived atSir Edmund Hillary Collegiate in Otara intime to have a cup of coffee which warmedus up very nicely.At 9.00am Richard Simmonds started theday with introductions and let us know thehousekeeping rules. He then handed overto DG Elect Robyn Walker who announcedher 2012/2013 Cabinet and then talkedabout her DG theme and that of theIncoming International President.District Training Day – 20 MayBy Lynette BruceSoon after we broke into Forums and wentour own way. I attended the BulletinEditor session together with four otherswhich is a disappointing number attending.However the facilitator, Suez Reid, did amarvelous job and I know we all gained a lot out of the time spent together. It was really greatthat two Lions in this session will be taking the Bulletin Editor role on for the first time.Bob attended the Secretary session and found it very good, especially the fact that this yeareveryone had a computer and the training was hands on.Allan and Hutson attended the President session. Both Allan and Hutson also found this sessionmost beneficial.Our lunch was wonderful – plenty of food and plenty of variety – huge filled rolls, sausage rolls,hot sausages, muffins and fruit. After we had our fill, we got back into it. Special thanks toPDG Brian Grounds and his team of Leos for feeding us.Allan and Lynette went onto the Websitesession. Earlier Lynette had been setup with a password to become Tuakau’swebmaster. Once again Suez Reid wasthe facilitator and is an excellent trainer.A very worthwhile session to attend.At the same time, Bob and Hutsonattended the general forums.We then all came together for anOrientation Presentation which wasexcellent.Overall, a great day and a good numberof attendees. For me personally, Ifound this Training Day the best I haveso far attended.Oh yes, there was a raffle and Hutson won first prize and I won third prize. The other two prizeswent to Club Members from Zone 8.Thanks to everyone involved in organising this Training Day. Well done!!!
