SA CFA President’s Report
Our promotional work in association with the Winston
Churchill Memorial Trust (WCMT) has continued this year with
the outcome being 104 applications for Churchill Fellowships
in South Australia in 2016. We have been inviting industry and
community leaders to our annual dinner and feel that this is
paying off as part of the overall promotion of Fellowships.
Each year several of our Fellows present Churchill Chats to our
Fellow community and this year our Churchill Chats attracted
record attendances. Our first was held at the Faculty of
Science and Engineering, Flinders University where we were
guests of Churchill Fellows David Hobbs, Daniel Smith and
Tyson Grubb. We learnt about the development of practical
aids to assist with physical and intellectual disabilities;
start-up IT companies; and the future we might look
forward to in a drone filled world. At the same event we also
welcomed some of our new Churchill Fellows as well as a
visiting Churchill Fellow from the UK.
Last year as part of the annual South Australian History
Week we held a Churchill Fellows Travellers Tales event at
the British Hotel. Hearing the travelling highs and lows of
young and old Churchill Fellows was both entertaining and
enthralling.

An enormous amount of effort has been directed this year
toward attracting organisations and individuals to sponsor
South Australian Churchill Fellowships. Through close
collaboration with the WCMT a diverse range of organisations
and individuals have made a significant commitment towards
sponsorship. As an outcome, we are looking forward to
number of South Australian sponsored Churchill Fellowships in
the foreseeable future.
The CFA SA have contributed towards positive and exciting
changes being discussed and implemented by the WCMT.
We look forward to continuing to be involved in during these
exciting times of change.
