It is also a great opportunity to  involve non Rotarians as adjudicators.

If I can offer any Rotarian some advice..... Do some make ups..... Visit another Rotary Club and make yourself known.. Spend some time get to know some Rotary mates.... Learn a bit about them.... And yourself as well

Our Mexican Muna team in Canberra

The District 9650 team in competition mode at old Parliament house in Canberra.

The House of Representatives is the venue.

The team consisted of Ashley Hill from St Columba at Port, Zac Rayson from Wingham High and James Pearse from Wauchope High.

No doubt many lolly bribes were used to replicate the real goings on in our Federal Parliament.

Thanks to Bob and Jan Crombie for escorting the team.

Another one of Rotary's premiere youth programs.

Start looking now for a team member for next year.
