President's Comments
 
This week saw a record number of Members attend our RCNB Forum – maybe Zoom during lockdown enabled more attendance than normal Forum evenings but it’s great to have Members interested in the range of Club activities being managed by the Directors on their behalf during this challenging year.
 
 
Have a great week - stay safe and well
President Greg

Ear Research Project in Darwin
Professor Amanda Leach and her team are delighted that we have committed funds to support this vital program in the Northern Territory.
 
This link has been forwarded by Amanda to show the type of equipment being used for research on hearing issues, particularly with indigenous children.
 
 
As mentioned at our Forum, two of our Members have already contributed generous amounts as part of our funding – happy to talk to others, obligation free.
