LawFest A place to be involved, to think, talk and connect. 18 and 19 July 2014 • The Parabola Arts Centre, Cheltenham Why #LawFest? Well, our ambition is not to create a new shiny thing, not to make noise and not to pretend answers are easy. If lawyers were to take to heart all that has been said about the changing market landscape it is a journey to hell in a handcart. Personally I don’t buy it. I don’t believe a profession of such talent, energy, drive and imagination can be anything other than a success, provided we are prepared to adapt, recognise weakness and exploit strength. The problem is not that we lack for talent, but that we do not value and develop all the talents we have – we need to find a way to develop and use all of our talents I am not pretending that LawFest is the answer, but I believe training is stale and learning has become a clichéd parody. Collecting CPD is not personal development, is not learning, is not anything except a small tick in a largely irrelevant box. If we cannot be bothered to explore, to learn, to debate, to challenge, to dream and to create, how will we develop and how can we succeed? The idea and the passion behind LawFest is to challenge the personal development model. This is has been our passion for many years in all that we do. LawFest is a statement of intent to take these messages further and deeper into the profession. For you to be at the start of something, before ideas are settled or accepted, is never an easy call. Frankly we may fail. So your trust to be here at the beginning, to step forward not to hang back, is truly humbling and something we will never forget. Thank you. The ingredients of LawFest are inspirational people, some new ideas, some old ideas reshaped, a space to listen, to talk, to laugh and to try. Ingredients, but not a recipe. There is no recipe. However with these ingredients it would be a shame if we did not cook.

Traffic will now spread to residential areas and the fumes from Diesel as well as Petrol will now invade residential areas to the detrimental health of all residents, especially children and older people!! The Cheltenham Borough Council has NOT listened to the residents of Cheltenham which is a disgrace and it is surprising that the County Council has agreed to execute this scheme! This will certainly have repercussions in the Ballot Box at future Elections !! Shame on both the County Council and Cheltenham Borough Council, especially Cheltenham Borough Council !!! 3 29/06/2018 Battledown Approach A terrible plan, with no thought for alternative routes. Going to create more pollution due to traffic and drive people out of town. The dying town centre will truly be dead. What a waste of money! Do any tax payers want this? 4 03/07/2018 Bishop's Cleeve Totally agree with scheme except being able to not drive through town because of existing restrictions- not sure routes are viable without causing chaos. You need to create a clear run and by stopping Clarence street you have pushed traffic to side streets.

Photo from ABRW Facebook Page Meetings Cancelled until Further Notice 2 Monthly Events (Sept) 6 Sept Westerly Trophy 19th-20th Sept Bribie Cup & Coolaroo Trophy 19th-20th Sept Cruise to the Brisbane River 27th Sept SAGS Commodore’s Comment By Bruce Wieland Dear multihull sailors, I do hope that you have remained healthy during the lockdown no matter where in the world you are. I empathize with anyone who has caught the Covid-19 virus and wish you a full recovery. It has been a difficult time for many, both socially and financially. Lyn and I have been fortunate to make it through the lockdown (so far) without any adverse effects despite closing our business for two months. As for MYCQ, it was a difficult decision at the time to cancel the 2020 Brisbane to Gladstone Race, but in hindsight we would never have been allowed to run the race. One positive is that there are several new big multihulls on the scene in Australia, so the 2021 B2G may just be spectacular! Other than the B2G, the lockdown has had little effect on our program as we deliberately kept our calendar sparce during the winter. RQYS cancelled the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Race, but the Brisbane to Keppel Race did happen, although there were no multihulls entered. While Airlie Beach Race week has been run and won, Hammo and Magnetic Island Race weeks were also cancelled. Congratulations to Dale Mitchell and crew who won on OMR with the ORMA 60 (great to see it going well!), and Elizabeth Williams who won the Passage Series on Tyee 111.
