Four weeks out from our big adventure we attended the District Conference in Wagga Wagga. For me (and i'm sure the others would agree) it was one of the most beneficial things we could have done.
GSE team members with District Governor John Egan and his lovely wife Maria
Along with finding out more about the wonderful work all of the clubs in 9700 do both locally, nationally and internationally, we had the opportunity to meeting two previous GSE teams from the district and also spend time with the District 1080 team at the end of their visit.
D9700 & D1080 at Rotary Conference DinnerTwo things were obvious from 1080 - they were exhausted but exhilarated! They spoke candidly about their experiences, their challenges and the things they wish they'd known before arriving.
We learned SJ discovered and fell in love with lasagne pies and Howard has definately never been in an episode of "The Bill". Clare can do a great rendition of "Pub with no beer" ;) and Penny thorougly enjoyed discovering part of our district on horseback (courtesy of Shane and Kelli White).
We all had a great deal of fun with the team and look forward to catching up with them again on their turf.
The two Australian GSE teams were also a great source of information and advice sharing their experiences with us.
It really was an invaluable experience and one that really REALLY made me realise how amazing the GSE tour program is for everyone involved.
