Mo­tor­sport revs up help dur­ing drought

This article was posted in the Warwick Daily News on 19th September 2019.

Lo­tus Club mem­ber Geoff No­ble presents $2750 to Ro­tary Club of War­wick Sun­rise mem­ber Peter Rodeck for drought re­lief.

The Ro­tary Club of War­wick Sun­rise was on hand to re­ceive $2750 to­wards drought re­lief for the Ro­tary Drought Fund at the Queens­land Su­per Sprints at Mor­gan Park at the week­end.

Lo­tus Club of Queens­land mem­ber Geoff No­ble said his club pre­sented a cheque for $1000 to the drought ap­peal.

“At the start of the meet­ing, I said we would have a bucket to col­lect do­na­tions over the week­end. Driv­ers pay $100 de­posit for a transpon­der for their ve­hi­cle for tim­ing and the eight Lo­tus driv­ers gave their $100 re­funds to the drought ap­peal,” he said.

In fact, $1750 was do­nated in the bucket and the War­wick and Dis­trict Sport­ing Car Club is plan­ning to add an­other $1000 to the fund to take it to $3750.

The Lo­tus Car Club of Queens­land was at Stan­thorpe for a week­end ear­lier this year and gave $1000 to help sup­port farm­ers in the Stan­thorpe area.

“That money helped bring the farm hands to town so they could do their laun­dry at the car­a­van parks. The politi­cians don’t seem to be do­ing much for the farm­ers so why can’t we come up with some money,” he said. “They will spend $2 mil­lion on fire­works at River­fire in Bris­bane, why couldn’t that money go for the farm­ers.”

Ro­tary Club of War­wick Sun­rise mem­ber Peter Rodeck said the drought had not just been in the last few months.

“We have had be­low av­er­age rain­fall for most of the past 10 years,” he said. “Some farm­ers have not even put a crop in the ground for the past two to three years. We have had less than 20mm rain in the past six months com­pared to the 200mm to 300mm we typ­i­cally get.”

“Some farm­ers have not even put a crop in the ground for the past two to three years. We have had less than 20mm rain in the past six months com­pared to the 200mm to 300mm we typ­i­cally get. The lo­cal Ro­tary Gov­er­nor has set this fund up as he feels there are peo­ple miss­ing out on the drought sup­port,” Mr Rodeck said.
