I'm 16 years old and a Year 13 student at Southland Girls' High School. I'm passionate about biological sciences; my goal is to work and travel internationally to research remote ecosystems and organisms, which I hope to do by studying overseas in the UK next year.

I am in Year 13 at Southland Girls' High School. I am heading towards a career in Science but I am unsure of which field in particular, hence I am immensely grateful to Rotary for giving me the opportunity to attend the 2023 Rotary National Science and Technology Forum.

Lunch is BYO (Bring Your Own).

The objectives of a Club Forum are:

Fellowship
Opportunity for discussion
Rotary education
Update on Club activities
Member feedback

The Forum focus is:  Events - logistics andplanning for the Car Boot Sale & Jingo night

What:                   Rotary Invercargill Car Boot Sale

When:                  Saturday 25^th March 10am til 2pm

Where:                 Ascot Park Raceway

Event Concept:

People book a site for a car, or a gazebo, to sell anything that they own and no longer need.

A site costs $20 and this $20 goes to the Mitey Mental Health Education fundraising.

Whatever the site holder sells, makes on the day, is for them to keep... unless of course, they want to donate it to Sir John Kirwan Foundation for the Mitey Programme.

We are welcoming people who may have arts, crafts or handmade items to sell to book a site and sell from their car boot as well.

We have extended an invite to a number of 'mobile' food outlets to come and join us on the day.

Jingo is just like Bingo but replaces the numbers with music. Players listen closely as the song snippets provide a clue as to the name of the song. Once the title or artist of the song is figured out and found on the game card, it gets marked off. Easy! The Jingo host will decide whether players are completing a line, a cross, a diagonal, a shape or a full house. When a player completes their card, they call out “JINGO!” and the Jingo host will verify the card. Jingo is fun for everyone! Individuals can have a card all to themselves or teams can share a card and put their heads together to beat the competition.

Ali is the Industry Liaison Manager at Sanford in Bluff and is passionate about the sea and keen to take the mystery out of what happens when a vessel disappears behind the horizon line and starts catching fish. Ali says "if people know where we work and why we do things the way we do, and that our industry is science based and sophisticated, it’s not such a big jump to think we take the challenge of responsible fishing seriously."   While not born into a fisher family, Ali cares deeply about the coast and the wellbeing of our communities supported by the sea.

In her job as Industry Liaison Manager at Sanford, a large New Zealand seafood company, Ali is a conduit between Sanford's people, the ocean environment and other marine users – officials, seafood companies, eNGOs, dolphins. Sanford’s goal is ocean leadership; to be the world’s best seafood company which means continually striving for excellence, looking beyond the first solution to find the best.

Sanford is New Zealand's oldest and largest seafood company - they farm salmon and mussels and hold 19.7% of New Zealand commercial fishing quota. Sanford has been listed on the New Zealand stock market since 1924, and is focused on sustainability and on maximising the value of the resources gathered from our oceans, enabling long term value creation from oceans teeming with life. Sanford sites can be found in 13 locations around New Zealand and they are a team of 1,400 staff and sharefishers across the country.  Committed to innovation, our scientists are on a mission to find new ways to make the most of the life-enhancing properties of seafood, from anti-inflammatory supplements to skin-nurturing collagen.
