PP Brian  introduced Guest Speaker Trevor Bellchambers by giving a brief history of their working relationship.
Trevor went to school in Gawler. He attended Wattle Park Teachers College and in 1963 at the age of 19 he won his first Headmasters job at Wonbi. Trevor enjoyed small country schools and went on to head Long Plains, Beaufort, Appila and Hilltown before moving to Rosedale Primary where he replaced PP Brian Burt and stayed until his retirement in 2005. His career spanned 42 years. Trevor’s wife also taught at the school and his sons attended there as well.
Trevor has also had a long association with community commitments including -Gawler Pool, Neighbourhood Watch, St John’s, neighbourhood Watch and CFS.
Trevor’s passion is Old Cars and was the founding member of the Gawler, Veteran, Vintage & Classic Vehicle Club. This came about because he was tired of seeing Gawler’s history (in cars) leaving Gawler. In 1984 the first meeting was held with 24 interested people. There are now over 800 members.  Trevor gave a history not only of the many cars he has owned and restored but important milestones of the motor history in SA in 1907 there were 310 cars registered in SA this number has rapidly grown. The Government started issuing plates in 1906 with single numbers and before 1920 they were already up to four-digit numbers.
Members were interested to hear the milestones, and many connected with the people and cars Trevor mentioned.  Trevor owns over 20 cars but interestingly no Holdens!  
 
PP Brain Thanked Trevor and presented him with a certificate of appreciation indicating we had donated in his name to have 45 children vaccinated against Polio. Brian then handed over to Pres Kathy. Pres Kathy thanked Beth for coming and said she looked forward to inducting her back into the club in the coming weeks.
Pres Kathy Congratulated PP Brian and Angela on the fabulous news of a new Great grandchild for Brian and a first grandchild for Angela as Brian’s Granddaughter Briony, who is known to many Rotarians, and her partner Tim (Angela’s son) have just announced they are expecting a baby in January 2023.
Before asking members to recite the four-way test she  reminded Directors that there was a board meeting tonight.   
 
Pres Kathy then officially closed meeting 3123
