Official Club Visits with Chicken dinner since July
1 6 !!
It’s been a busy week! (Aren’t they all?). Particular feature this week has been the
pleasure of seeing two new members inducted (Liam Collins at Maidenhead Thames
and Nick Thompson at Misbourne Matins) and also writing welcome letters to
three other new members this week as well.
That makes a nice round 25 welcome letters since 1 July (of which I’ve
been present at 6 of the inductions).
And I know there’s more coming soon…..
The other thing that stuck out this week was a doubling
of the chicken dinner count – having been chuffed with the lack of chicken thus
far, this was indeed a blow
. However,
they weren’t all presented the same – does that help?

So Monday it was off to Maidenhead Thames – my first chicken
dinner of the week, but more seriously the first induction of the week – great to
meet the widely travelled Liam Collins and to see the club in great heart under
President Steve’s leadership
Tuesday I was out at Abingdon Vesper where members were
still recovering from their exertions at the Dragon boat racing on the previous
Sunday – chicken again! Great evening
with the usual Rotary banter enlivening proceedings!
After a relatively late return on Tuesday (not helped by
the closure of the A40) bit of a struggle to be bright-eyed and bushy tailed
for 7:15 a.m. at Misbourne Matins. President
Christine’s clearly enjoying keeping a very lively (especially at that time)
bunch in some sort of order! Another induction
–welcome Nick Thompson. And the four way
test in the first of a series of foreign languages – Dutch
Later on that day it was over to Caversham. It’s fair to say that the club is going
through a soul-searching period but is taking positive steps under President
Robin to move forward.
Finally for the club visits, Thursday saw me at Langley
& Iver, just a short trip to the other side of Uxbridge – President Mohinder
leading a smaller but active club – great to see RYLA attendee Christian Hinton
presenting on his experience and proving yet again what a worthwhile investment
that is.
Saturday, having watched the weather anxiously all week,
it was mercifully dry, but most definitely not warm, for the annual Pinner
Village Show – RC Pinner President Nigel and his team organised a fabulous
array of stalls and entertainment, and we met up with interlopers from Districts
1130 (Northwick Park) and 1260 (Elstree & Borehamwood)!
PDG David Buckland has been a great support for many and
it was great to be at his 70th birthday bash on Sunday in company with
many of his (Rotary) friends and family.
