The 2025 District Conference is different this year.
Called the Multi District Impact Summit, in conjunction with D9800, Melbourne & environs

Ros is on the Committee.
Refer to article below.
Jean's shed, Peter's house, various computers etc.
PE Robin has agreed to be the conduit to save our files & memories into the Cloud. As part of our MicroSoft subscription we have a 1 terabyte (TB) cloud storage plan. 1 TB is a lot of data
[1,024 gigabytes (GB) or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, whatever they are].
The Board are the guinea pigs, and have received a link to gain access to the New RCWL Storage Filing System.
They will commence “Moving” any files on personal computers to the RCWL system.
It is important that the main filing storage is on the Cloud as personal PC can fail. It is also important that Club Documents and Photos are not ‘lost’
Attached is a current screen shot of the filing system so far.
It is possible to add appropriate directories as needed. For example, if you have files that are to be determined later, they can be saved (Under your name) in the Directory “To Be Sorted”. Other Photos and Documents can be stored in the appropriate directory.
Robin envisages that documents currently in ClubRunner can be transferred to the new system. This is a medium-term goal.
All members are encouraged to gather any Files or Photos on to a USB and bring in to each meeting so that they can be uploaded to the storage system.
This will be a great benefit for our Club moving forward and will also assist the 50 year committee research.
If you are unsure how to put your files on a USB please see Robin, (or perhaps a grandchild).
After the electronic files are collected we will then discuss gathering Old physical Documents and photos and how to convert them to electronic storage.
Please remember, (to facilitate return of your USB), bring your files in on Tuesday night with your name attached to the USB
Robin is available to assist anyone who may have data/files that need to be transferred.
