Club Visits since July 1 9
Rotary Engagements since July 1 27
Been such a busy week this week I’ve decided to split my
blog posts into two – club visits and other events. Started the week with a visit to RC Windsor
& Eton on Monday lunchtime. Founded
more than 80 years ago and boasting Royal connections with Prince Philip as an
honorary member, the club still meets in the centre of the town and has a fair
sprinkling of locally employed working members who take a break from work for
club meetings.Warm welcome from President Philip and given plenty of time to speak!
With sleep being so difficult because of the heat, being
up early on Wednesday for breakfast at Reading Matins wasn’t too much of a
hardship – despite leaving home at 06:15.
Really great welcoming club with lots of my personal favourite District
Rotarians as members. Wearing their 20
years lightly they trot through the meeting at pace – well, so many have work
to get to by 09:00. Delighted to be
presented with my own Pounds for Polio collecting bag – member Athley Cowling
has made one for each member – a great idea.
Thursday lunchtime and one of my shorter trips – RC
Gerrards Cross & Chalfont St Peter being just under ten miles. Lively banter marked the occasion, my own
club being old rivals in the District darts competition and they being the
current holders. President Jeremy has a
very clear programme mapped out for the Rotary year – looking forward to seeing
it all come to fruition.
