The history of the Gosford Musical Society
Nov 17, 2016
Gosford Rotary has enjoyed a long association with the Gosford Musical Society and has seen it grow from a small but enthusiastic group to arguably Australia's premiere regional musical and theatrical organisation. Through the construction of the Laycock Street Theatre GMS has now staged countless productions rivalling the quality of those seen in major cities. Come along and hear Daryl speak about how this extraordinary progress has been achieved. |

Celebrating 100 years of the Rotary Foundation
Nov 24, 2016
The Rotary Foundation serves as a collective body where funds come in from all rotary clubs around the world and then forms a formidable collective fund, able to support projects too big for any one club to undertake. But it doesn't end there. It also serves to distribute funds back on a local basis, not just a global basis and there are many local entities and community service projects in this district which have received such beneficence. Gosford Rotary has many such projects to which it can indicate support from the foundation, including projects in Africa, PNG and locally our waterfront shelters project and the Scince and Engineering Challenge....and thats just in the last few years. We join Terrigal and Erina Rotary at the Breakers Country Club to celebrate 100 years of a great idea.

How to simultaniously have top time in Western Australia while being the Rotary President in Gosford
Dec 15, 2016
President Dennis will present a description, with pictures, of his trip with Jenni to Western Australia. In a classic display of delegation at its finest, Dennis was inaugurated in July and left the next day. This gave our club the perfect opportunity to make plans and organise ourselves........without any responsibility. It is hoped this splendid example of leadership will inspire all members to do it like Dennis. Wives,partners, family all welcome. |

Keep Girls Safe in Thailand
Feb 02, 2017
Sharon and Dominique will tell how ADRA, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, manages a volunteer group to provide shelter and food for girls at great risk in Thailand. Unlike our country the risks are so much greater and yet the cost of food and shelter is on $200 pa. Come along and hear their remarkable story. As always, visitors very welcome. |

Hidden Figures
Feb 09, 2017
We support Erina Rotary at its fund raising movie premiere of Hidden Figures. The movie traces 3 African American women whose mathematical capabilities were critical in NASA's race against Russia to be the first to put a man in space. Proceeds go to the School of St Jude, Mahbaba's Promise and the Midwives of East Timor, all worthwhile rotary projects.

The Midwives of East Timor Rotary Project
Feb 16, 2017
Much is said about health care in this country but at its most basic level maybe health care begins with childbirth. We take for granted hospital, doctors or midwives being available through this vulnerable time but it isn't like that in East Timor. Come along and hear how Erina Rotary managed to improve the lot of young mums in one of our closest neighbours. As always, visitors welcome. |

The Forgotten Flotilla
Apr 06, 2017
In the course of an archeological dig in Crete Dr Michael seems to have uncovered a series of wrecked WW2 vessels. Unlike most war records these vessels, used for transporting and landing tanks, do not appear to have been well recorded despite their wrecked remains being in prominent positions throughout the Eastern Mediteranean. Visitors are very welcome to join us to hear about Michael's remarkable discovery. |

Entertainment for the young
Apr 19, 2017
Razzamatazz is a major fundraising event for Gosford Rotary. We seek sponsors for this event which provides a great afternoon/evening entertainment. Admission is free to children through generous sponsorship and tickets are largely distributed to families who would not normally afford such an event. We have managed this event for many years now with distribution of funds raised going to responsible charities such as Lifeline, the Shirley Shuttle, Coast Shelter and support for victims of domestic violence. Sponsors are widespread across the coast and so we only contribute to charities which also help coastwide. Sponsors are invited to attend to see the event for themselves and we encourage recipients of their generosity to send them a personal "thank you".
