Incoming President Isobel Caulfield, husband Past President, Mark Caulfield, Rotary Co-ordinator, Tim Moore and incoming District Secretary, Jane Moore, represented the Rotary Club of Berwick at the PET seminars held in Ballarat on 16-17 March.
 
The seminars provided an opportunity for the incoming Presidents to meet with their peers and develop strategies for the year ahead.
 
PE Isobel's comments on the weekend seminars were:
 
"President Elects, District Governors Elects, Assistant Governors Elects, partners and trainers from 4 Districts and across Australia gathered for a fantastic weekend in Ballarat.
 
Sessions were broken into multi district and single district sessions.  Topics included membership by supporting and strengthening clubs, enhancing public image, awareness and social media.  Governance, insurance and the Rotary Foundation were also covered. 
 
At the district level we heard from our own DGE Adrian Froggatt and well as incoming District Secretary Jane Moore and Treasurer Jim Wilson. 
 
The important topics of insurance and youth protection were well covered.
 
The opportunity to network with enthusiastic Rotarians was a great part of the weekend.  The dinner on Saturday night saw all the districts split up on different tables.  It encouraged us all to widen our vision beyond the club. 
 
What other clubs in our district and beyond accomplish is inspirational.  We often have the same issues, but also have similar successes. 
 
A huge congratulations to the Rotarians who put it all together.  A very good weekend indeed."
