The elections for the Board of Directors were held in<br />
early July for the 2012/2014 term. With the exception<br />
of Vice President Lyle orreal, who did not seek reelection,<br />
all members of the incumbent board were reelected.<br />
Director Graham Lee has been elected to the<br />
vacant position of Vice President and Brett Kenworthy<br />
has come on board as a director to replace Graham. I thank<br />
the members who have taken the time to vote this year, thus<br />
confirming their support for the work that the board has done in the last two<br />
years of their tenure.<br />

Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge 2012<br />
For the past three years the <strong>Bathurst</strong> <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has selected a local community<br />
or staff member to take on the <strong>RSL</strong> & Services <strong>Club</strong>s Association’s Kokoda Youth<br />
Leadership Challenge. This year’s Trek has special significance as it is the 70th<br />
anniversary of the Kokoda Campaign and for our selected recipient, Ellen Stiller,<br />
there will be no greater honour than to be able to follow in the footsteps of her<br />
relatives who were involved in the Campaign, “From a young age I have always<br />
felt an emotional connection to the Kokoda Trail and I believe both my Great<br />
uncle’s, Clarence Morton and Michael Morton’s contributions in Kokoda is one<br />
of the reasons” said Ellen.<br />
The objective of the Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge is to identify young<br />
people within the community who are potential leaders, and who have an<br />
ability to both inspire and educate other young people in their local communities.<br />
Ellen is aiming to use the skills she gains from the experience in her career as she studies to become a<br />
Primary School Teacher. “I want to keep the spirit of the Kokoda Trek alive in the younger generation and<br />
what better way to do it then actually experience it for myself, and hopefully inspire others to take up<br />
the challenge”.<br />
Preparing for the challenge, Ellen is aware of the physical and mental strain that comes with completing<br />
the Kokoda Trek. Ellen will definitely be up to the challenge physically, having undertaken full time<br />
training and playing on the national Tennis Circuit in 2008 as well as taking part in Triathlons and<br />
Marathons. No stranger to international travel, Ellen spent a period living and attending school in<br />
England and extensively travelling through Europe, Vietnam and Thailand, “the learning and growth<br />
that comes from travelling requires some venturing into the unknown. I know this experience will be<br />
challenging but it will lead to new perspectives, personally and for my future career as a Teacher”.<br />
When asked what motivated her to apply Ellen answers, “This opportunity is beyond a dream to me. I am<br />
a history fanatic and I have always had a burning desire to spread the legacy of our Australian Diggers<br />
who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the brutal conditions of the Kokoda Campaign. This opportunity is<br />
going to give me the chance to do just that”<br />
Ellen’s passion and motivation to complete the trek is obvious when she speaks about her family<br />
background and passion for history “I will carry my family’s legacy with me forever, and I always refer<br />
back to it for motivation and courage to keep going in times of hardship”.<br />
The <strong>RSL</strong> & Services <strong>Club</strong>s Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge is taking place from the 24th September<br />
until the 5th october and we wish Ellen the very best with her preparations.<br />

A popular urban myth concerns a group of art<br />
students who passed themselves off as a band in<br />
order to con the local publican into giving them a<br />
gig in exchange for free beer.<br />
The deception worked better than intended,<br />
and the group came to be known as Mental as<br />
Anything. Nearly two decades later, they are still<br />
irritating the public with their highly listenable,<br />
idiosyncratic brand of garage pop.<br />
