Dear Members,
We all know the importance of looking after our planet and
the University Club realises that with very little effort, we can make a significant difference and hopefully encourage others to do the same. In coming months you will notice a number of changes around the Club as we endeavour to minimise the use of non-
recycled materials. Initial changes will involve the switching to

recycled paper wherever possible, Club stationary and this magazine being such a change. We are also investigating the use of recycled napkins, disposable cups and the like, and the separation of all waste materials, details of which can be found in the magazine. We would also like to know what initiatives our Members have implemented at home, so please let us know and we will share them for other Members to see. I look forward to seeing you all at your Club very soon. On a serious note, in recent months we have noted a number of Members making use of Club parking facilities whilst campus. Please note that Club parking is reserved for those visiting the Club and I would ask that in respect of your fellow Members, this privilege is not abused. visiting other areas of

Going Green
Your Club Goes Green in the club caf and bar?
Greening the future
>> on the Uniclub side
At The University Club we are reducing the environmental `footprint' of our operations by going `green'. Not only will the Club still be serving great food and organising fantastic functions but there will also be a side serving of sustainability to go with it. The Club's newly formed Green Committee has created a "Green Action Plan" and a "Green Policy" aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of the Club's operations. The new look magazine is now printed on recycled content paper and will be mailed out in envelopes which can be recycled rather than a plastic cover. There are also plans for Members to have the option to receive the magazine electronically as an environmentally friendly option. The Club aims to drastically reduce waste by recycling paper, cardboard, tins, cans, plastics, glass and even corks! Behind the scenes the administration area has made the switch to recycled paper and put in place a raft of measures to cut paper use in the office such as double side printing. The Club also aims to cut its energy consumption and greenhouse emissions by planning several campaigns such as "switch off" and "ride to work" campaigns. Unnecessary lighting and electrical appliances that are usually on standby will be switched off when not in use which the Club anticipates will lead to a 10% reduction in energy consumption and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The electricity and water consumption of the University Club building will be metered and monitored to track the success and progress of energy and water efficiency actions. "We are also conscious of the environmental awareness of our clients and are able to offer alternative green options to function organisers" says Conferences and Events Manager Julie Harrison. We have started with recycled napkins and recycled note pads.
>> on the UWA side
The University is also putting in measures to reduce the

environmental impact of activities. Recently a Green Campus Reference Group was formed to develop ideas for making the University more sustainable. Facilities Management, who are responsible for the planning and operations of buildings and infrastructure, have formed a Climate Change Action Group that is focusing on building design, energy and water management, transport and reducing greenhouse emissions. With water worries hitting WA the University is aiming to reduce water consumption through a range of measures including using treated wastewater to irrigate shade houses and sporting ovals at Shenton Park. Twenty one Schools and sections are now participating in the University's Green Office programme with fifty volunteer Coordinators educating work colleagues on how to make office operations more environmentally friendly. Over 41 million sheets of paper were used at the University in 2006. In an effort to reduce the amount of paper used the Office of Finance and Resources is aiming to reduce paper consumption by at least 10% and purchase only recycled paper through the "Paper Smart" program. In the quest to be a zero waste campus Facilities Management has put in place recycling programs for office generated waste, computers, polystyrene, plastics, print cartridges, mobile phones and kitchen organics. Students at UWA have also been busy doing their bit to be sustainable with the UWA Environment Collective starting up their own worm farm for Guild food waste and advocating for better recycling facilities on campus. For further information: Facilities Management Environmental Services www.fm.uwa.edu.au/about/sustainability
Install high efficiency compact fluorescent light bulbs
Over its life a CFL bulb saves a third of a tonne of greenhouse gas plus you'll save up to 80% in lighting costs. Plus they last eight times longer than a conventional bulb.
Say goodbye to standby
The average Australian home generates over 750kg of greenhouse gas each year through standby power. Always switch electrical appliances off at the power point to avoid standby power use which accounts for about 10% of your electricity bill.
Let us know about your Green initiatives
so we can share them with other members.

Change your choice of transport
Walk, cycle, catch public transport whenever possible and ditch the unnecessary big gas guzzler with a smaller or hybrid vehicle.
Say no to plastic!
Australians use 13 million plastic bags daily which can take up to 1000 years to break down and cause havoc for wildlife. Buy reusable shopping bags and avoid over-packaged products.

Plant water wise gardens
More than 50% of household water is wasted on the garden. Plant drought tolerant species, reduce thirsty lawn areas, add your own homemade compost to the soil and mulch to reduce water use. Use water wise reticulation such as drip systems, subsurface or greywater reuse. Check out Waterwise Plants for Perth at www.watercorporation.com.au.

The Chardonnay Project
>> Unravelling the Mystery of Chardonnay
According to International Wine Writer, Jancis Robinson, Chardonnay is, "the single most sought after varietal in the world today." In 2002 Evans & Tate launched The Chardonnay Project: a 5-year study in conjunction with the Australian Wine Research Institute and in association with The University of Western Australia. The aim of the project is to identify optimum growing conditions for the production of premium Margaret River chardonnay. Professor John Considine of The Vineyard Chardonnay and 2005 Wildberry Springs Estate Chardonnay. Produced in tiny quantities from fruit sourced the Wilyabrup region, each wine is stylistically very different, bearing the thumbprint of the vineyard from which the grapes were sourced. Evans & Tate's new cellar door and tasting room provides the ultimate setting for sampling these superior wines. The Reserve Room - the pinnacle of recent renovations - is the only formal tasting room of its kind in the region and provides guests the opportunity to sample current vintage and museum wines with the region's finest produce. For those wanting to expand their knowledge, a qualified winemaker is available to discuss the wine's journey from vine to bottle.

Cullen Wines, whose motto is Quality, Integrity and Sustainability practice biodynamic farming. Biodynamics is a combination of working with the plants, the soil and the cosmos and works from 2 poles. One is the importance of maintaining sustainable soil fertility similar to organics and the other is the recognition of the link between plant growth and rhythms of the cosmos. The working together of these 2 poles is what brings about healthy plants and livestock. Essentially the winemakers are letting the wines make themselves with as little interference as possible and so far have been delighted with the quality and individuality of the wines produced.

Tom Moody the player
Tom's contribution to domestic cricket was immense. Tom played his debut game in his first class career against New South Wales in 1985. He played in five Sheffield shield winning teams with WA, the last two in 1997/98 and 1998/99 as captain, and four domestic one day championship teams. Moody's International career began in 1987 when he was a member of Australias historic first world cup win, and ended in 1999, just months after he played a key role in Australia's second World Cup success in England. In between he developed a reputation as a dependable all-rounder capable of turning a game either with the blistering power of his bat or his uncanny knack to snare important wickets with the ball.
Join us at the Club for the Race that Stops a Nation. Watch the race live on the big screen and get an insight into the racing world by Perth television and radio sporting identity Gary Carvolth who will host what promises to be a memorable afternoon.

As Peter Clark director of The Birthday Party puts it, "The Birthday Party is a play of opposites: it's an in your face drama without being in your face; it's riveting, yet nothing happens; and the passage of time for a sleepy seaside guest thouse contains madness and emotional breakdowns, yet leaves you feeling like you've just chatted with a next-door neighbour."

Cool Night Classic 2007
>> Putting the `fun' in fundraising!
Perth's business community is now in training for the next charity fun run on the corporate calendar the PricewaterhouseCoopers Cool Night Classic. Now in its 12th year, the 2007 Cool Night Classic is expected to attract over 1,500 runners and walkers to the race and the post event "cool-down". Participants will follow a scenic 5km route alongside the river to the finish line at the Matilda Bay Reserve in Crawley and this year's cool down is going to be held at The University Club of Western Australia. Held in the name of fun, and of course fundraising, all entrants are automatically in the draw for some fantastic prizes donated by local businesses. Since its inception, the PricewaterhouseCoopers Cool Night Classic has raised in excess of $100,000 for local charities and is hoping to raise over $15,000 for Redkite, a children's cancer charity.
