Stacey was selected as our outward student. We sponsored Craig Bryant as a candidate for an Ambassadorial Scholarship and although performing very well was unsuccessful at District interviews. Leigh Thomson was sponsored by the club in "Operation Livewire" and he did very well finishing second overall in this project sponsored which was sponsored by Shell Australia. Another very successful International Night was held with excellent support from students and Rotarians from neighbouring clubs.

We commenced the construction of a Rotunda/BBQ facility on the foreshore adjacent to the Torquay Lifesaving Club, and carried out repairs to the steps leading down to the beach near Jan Juc Surf Lifesaving Club. Our major fundraisers were a Dinner Auction, Bell's Beach Easter parking, an Open Weekend at Russeldown and a "Wine Appreciation Night" with the Rotary Clubs of Ballan and Hoppers Crossing.
