Joining Rotary six years ago, Bob has since thrown himself into various roles in the Club with great gusto.

With the support of wife Heather, he organised the Bunnings BBQs for two years, a major fundraiser for the Club. He next moved to the Membership Chair role, where he was diligent about following up membership enquiries and ensuring that new members were welcomed and felt valued.

At this time he was on the pathway to becoming President; he enthusiastically embraced all the training involved and the chance to think about and plan for the direction of the club in the following year. His year of Presidency, 2025-2026, saw the evolution of a new club activity, a monthly community market, for which Bob as Chair worked hard in the planning, organisation and running of each market day. His bonhomie and jovial nature are very much appreciated by stall holders and visitors alike, as it is in club meetings.

His year as President was a very busy year, with lots of activities such as BBQs to support various organisations and also saw the induction of 6 new members. There is no doubt that the support of wife Heather as Secretary and ‘right hand woman’ is paramount in helping Bob to achieve his goals.

Bob has not yet retired as his skills as a handy man and floor polisher are often in demand amongst friends and also in renovating his own home. He enjoys travel and the most frequent trips in recent years have been to Sydney, to catch up with two growing granddaughters and family.
