ClubRunner
Gary was contacted by ClubRunner who informed him that they have now changed over to a new, more modern and secure technology platform which will work as it did in the past.
FYI, this Canadian application is currently being used by many of the world’s most renowned organizations as shown above.

Garage Clean Out Time?
In case you missed it, this article from Ken’s latest email includes Rotarians suggesting we might look at doing a Garage Clear Out during lockdown in order to help keep up the Rotary spirit and contribute to a local project that will help one of our Pacific neighbours while also perhaps saving us some dumping fees.
The Rotary Club of Cashmere, facilitated by Gordon Hooper, has sent many containers of supplies up to Tonga over the years. They are currently collecting goods for another container that will go up to the Islands after the lockdown is lifted. Here are some of the items they are looking for.
- Garden tools and particularly hand tools.
- Shoes and any sporting footwear (larger sizes preferred).
- Soft Toys.
- Gym Equipment.
- Fishing Equipment (rods, lines, hooks, sinkers).
- Pushchairs.
- Child car-seats (these can be outside their expiry date as they are used to physically support high needs children in a care facility).
- Walking Frames (without wheels - the light aluminium frames that you lift up and down).
If you have something not on this list that you think might be appropriate to send, contact Gary Kennett, PE Lincoln Rotary, on garymkennett@gmail.com or call him on (03) 329 6380 or (029) 377 4545.
So, if you have anything that might help this worthy project, let Gary know and collection will be organised post-lockdown.
