Last night we visited the Rotary Club of Takapuna and were warmly received by their President Marge Scott. The guest speaker related his time in the police force undertaking finger printing of crime scenes. In New Zealand they only retain the prints of convicted felons...so they have a daatbase of some 800,000....now that sent some mathematical brains into doing some quick maths as the population here is just 4 million....which means....no cant be right...must be a data base collected over a very long period!!
The Club is like a number of Rotary Clubs these days in that the average age of members is creeping up...one member suggested it was 70...mainly because the oldest member is 90 and there are couple in their late 80's but even so I think that estimate was a bit on the high side.!!
We had 10 minutes to give an outline of what we had achieved with our GSE experience so it was a brief 2 minutes each from the team.
It was a good night out and we left with a good impression of a well established Club.
