NGSE IS STARTING AGAIN - HOSTS NEEDED!

Posted by Alan SEALE

After a two-year COVID imposed break we are resuming where we left off with the New Generations Service Exchange program. You might remember Lotta Rink, the talented young Bassoonist who had to go home early thanks to the pandemic.

Nevertheless, in July this year two young Australian opera singers, Louise Keast and Michael Dimovski, will be heading off to Bavaria where they will be hosted by German Rotary families for around 6 weeks. They will be participating in the Bayreuth Young Artist’s Festival, attending master classes, and in Michael’s case, performing at the D1950 District Conf.

RI 2023 MELBOURNE CONVENTION - VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

2023 Rotary International Convention - Volunteer Opportunities

In less than 12 months, Melbourne will be hosting Rotarians from across the world! Our Club has an opportunity to help showcase our town, whilst extending our hospitality to fellow Rotarians during their visit. Here are the details of the Volunteer Opportunities for events occurring as part of the 2023 Rotary International Melbourne Convention, but outside the Convention location and times. These city locations should be of interest to members of the Batman Cluster Clubs.

The opportunities are as follows:

Melbourne Museum: Held at the Melbourne Museum on May 27th. Two shifts of volunteers required: 5:30pm - 8:00pm for 24 volunteers and 8pm - 10pm for 8 volunteers. All volunteers shall be able to have a complimentary beverage at the museum as a thank you. Volunteers shall meet at the main Museum entrance and then be allocated a task. They shall be assisting with directing delegates from the bus drop-off points in Rathdowne and Nicholson Streets to the main entrance before and after the event as well as directing delegates into and around the museum.
South Wharf - Food of Melbourne: situated at the west end of South Wharf. Two shifts of volunteers are required, one on May 29th and the second on May 30th, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm both nights for 10 volunteers each shift. They shall meet at the Promenade exit at MCEC and be placed along South Wharf directing delegates towards the food venues along Dukes Walk up to the Showtime Events Centre.
Flemington Melbourne Cup Event 30 May: Volunteers are required to meet at Southern Cross Station and direct delegates to the correct dedicated platform for train departure to Flemington Race Course. One shift for 10 volunteers from 5:30pm - 6.30pm.

All volunteers need to first register at http://www.rotarymebourne2023.org, and this can be done now. Once registered, and after September, volunteers can go online and choose their event and shift.

HOSTING INTERNATIONAL ROTARIANS - RI 2023

This email is being sent to Presidents and President Elects:

"Good Afternoon

I am emailing regarding a wonderful opportunity during the Rotary International Convention in Melbourne next May. As you may be aware, delegates are offered the opportunity for an evening of home hosting, which entails a small group of delegates visiting a Rotarian’s home for a meal in the evening. This has proved incredibly popular and delegates love this chance to visit a private home.

Delegates who have already registered for the Convention have signed up for this opportunity in big numbers and hence many local Rotarians are needed to host and currently we do not have sufficient local Rotarians to meet the demand.

So I am requesting that you encourage your club members to sign up to host on Monday 29 May and give our delegates a real Aussie experience.

It would be much appreciated if you could circulate this information to all your club members. The information for how to register is attached.

Many thanks for your assistance with this and I look forward to many Rotarians hosting our delegates that night.

Mary"

Daniel Williams

An Introduction to Machine Learning

In this talk Daniel will provide an overview of machine learning, a fast-growing and increasingly pervasive branch of artificial intelligence. From financial trading to supermarket checkouts, machine learning techniques have become a powerful and efficient tool for processing, extracting and acting on insights from big datasets. Illustrated with examples from industry and academia, Daniel will address key applications of machine learning, spanning language, vision, reinforcement learning and human-machine interaction.

Daniel is a roboticist with interests encompassing human-machine interaction, control engineering and language technology. His qualifications include a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, (Imperial College London, 2019) and a Master of Science in Machine Learning (University College London, 2020). He is currently undertaking doctoral research with the Control and Signal Processing Group at the University of Melbourne, focusing on human interactions with robotic swarms.
