Today is another Vocational day and as requested I have been allocated time with Andy in the morning at 5 Star Digital and Tom in the afternoon at Rodney Fox Shark experience. Bob picked us up and ran us into Adelaide to 5 Star’s premises which were very impressive. Andy was given the full tour and spent a considerable time with them understanding the design and printing process at a very high tech plant. Printing has moved on in leaps and bounds in recent years 
and speed of turn round which can be achieved in one day, and print run numbers, from one upwards, are now possible. However, the quality is incredible but we were all impressed with the flat bed printer that could produce large poster images and even print directly on doors and plate glass. I was fascinated by the mechanical handling and the speed of the machines all in all a very impressive and informative morning for Andy. I am not sure if he got a job offer for his design expertise! We were all to meet up for lunch in Glenelg and it was a beautiful day. We 
were running a little early so we stretched our legs by walking round the new marina development and back along the front to the café. In the harbour was a dolphin and her calf and we got a clear view of the speed of these animals and their skill in fishing. Lunch comprised of a couple of pizzas! The lunch meet was also to effect a change over where I was to tie up with Tom, who had a fantastic morning following an early start at the fish market. Unfortunately Rodney had been called away to a meeting so we headed up to Port Adelaide instead where we visited the Maritime Museum. Andy meanwhile headed off to 
“Digiwedo”. The museum had some fascinating exhibits but also some unusual takes on English History apparently Nelson was hit on the shoulder by a cannon ball and was killed by a piece of shrapnel, I can think of quite a few people who might disagree with that including the French who claimed to have shot him. Tonight’s our final presentation at the Edinburgh Hotel Mitcham and it was great to see that Kent, Charlene and Gary from the 9520 team got down to see us. The team again delivered in faultless fashion 10 out of 10 cannot be bad, no I.T. hiccups, thanks to the host clubs and great audiences. We completed the full round of banner exchanges we have quite a cache now which I am sure our host clubs will be delighted to receive. That’s the last of the 1120 presentations we are truly on the home straight now. - Ray
