Official Club Visits with Chicken dinner since July
1 9 !!
Well that was a bit of a blow, wasn’t it! Actually round our way we were extremely
lucky with generally very few fallen trees (although I did see a few more
around the golf course).
So once the wind had abated Monday morning it was off to
RC oxford for lunch. Celebrating their 90th
anniversary in February. Still more than
50 members strong a more traditional club, still meeting at lunchtime and still
in the heart of the city. Under President
Jenny planning a bit more activity than of late and focussing on the need to
renew their membership.
Monday evening our intrepid club darts team set off on
what will hopefully be a longer journey this year in the District darts competition. Having said that we will need to play rather better
than we did that night, losing a closely fought match 3-2 to RC Princes Risborough. Every leg was close, every match was close
and so the 1001 was our downfall. And
for once, double 1 only featured twice during the evening.
Must do better when we play Maidenhead “B” at
the end of November – lose that one & we’re out! (Maybe our captain will be sufficiently recovered
by then to spur us along).
Tuesday at RC Crowthorne & Sandhurst under the
leadership of President Tony this year.
Please to see the club making its’ way back and gaining members – always
a pleasant thing to be noticing!
Wednesday my club celebrated its 35th year, with
dinner at the Ruislip Conservative Club (strictly apolitical gathering – it’s
just a venue – OK!). RC Pangbourne Past
President Richard Anderson provided the entertainment with his amazing array of
unusual objects for us to guess the purpose – thanks Richard for a splendid
show. Our own David Thorpe was presented
with a richly-deserved Sapphire Paul Harris award – well done David!!
Thursday we had our second meeting as the Dsitrict Executive for Rotary District 1090. Lots of useful stuff taken forward a little we hope & already looking towards the next eyar and trying to fill all our vacancies.
Lowlight of my weekend was being present for an absolutely
abject performance from Watford FC losing 3-0 at home to Leicester. The highlight however, was being at my grandson
Edward’s first ever swimming gala for his swimming club. He set a personal best in the butterfly but
suffered from being the very youngest in his group – he’s still only 9 but was
up against all the 10s & 11s because his birthday is 31st December
– he may have to get used to that!
