A Busy Rotary Month - not half!

Somewhat behind the times!  Have been very lax - keep updating Twitter but blogless for more than a month!  What's been up?

Well 28 May went and heard RC Newbury's Club Assembly - great bunch of people - also went to their 60th anniversary dinner in June (16th), complete with a founder member (someone who was there when they started in 1952!!).
29th May - Conference Committee for 2014 District Conference Inaugural meeting
30th May RC Elthorne Hillingdon President's Night at Northwood Golf Club.
2nd June - Club (RC Elthorne Hillingdon stall at Northwood & Northwood Hills Residents Associations Diamond Jubilee Fair - unprepossessing weather to start with but cheered up and we met lots of nice people and sold £500 of our Meal for Two tickets (for two local charities)
9th June - down to Upton-on-Severn to see Pepperpot Players in Joan Greening's (my clever wife!)The Continental Quilt - I was in the World Premiere in 1981!
11th June had to stand in as speaker at a combined clubs meeting in place of poorly Rotary in Britain & Ireland President Ray Burman - and no one threw anything - some even said they'd enjoyed it!
12th June - RC Sinodun Assembly - best turnout I've ever seen - more than 90% of membership
13th June - Off to Number 23 in my Be Better Known campaign - RC Faringdon
19th-20th June we were at The Compass Theatre, Ickenham for two charity performances of Madame Blavatsky Lives (written & directed by Joan Greening -2011) presented by RC Elthorne-Hillingdon - terrific audiences, brilliant cast and £3,500 raised for Kamuli Mission Hospital in Uganda.
23rd June at the Ickenham Festival Gala Day - great turnout - not much rain - super sales of Meal for Two and draw for the 22 lucky winners!!

Will try and keep up to date better!!
