Official Club Visits with Chicken dinner since July
1 10 !!
A fascinating week – lots of very different experiences,
almost all of them great fun, with just a couple slightly nerve-wracking (I’ll
let you guess which).
Monday out to RC Princes Risborough – fair to say that
President John guides(?) a fairly unruly bunch of great-hearted members, with a
club in the rudest of rude health.
Terrific evening with the new members of the Royal Grammar School High
Wycombe Interact Club being inducted.
Thoroughly enjoyable!
As was lunch on Tuesday at RC Henley-on-Thames – clearly
a three-line whip had been exercised by President Roger – a great turnout from
this regenerating club – looking forward to an expanded repertoire of service
for the future.
And also our evening at RC Windsor St George was equally
enjoyable – celebrating their 31st charter anniversary members were joined
by others from RC Windsor & Eton, Burnham & Maidenhead Bridge. President Al kept good order, as you’d expect
from his profession really!
Wednesday an exchange of ideas between those of us in “the
succession line” (me, DGE Tim & DGN Fred) catching up and looking forwards
in the company of District Secretary Greg.
Thursday a slightly unusual club visit – was my pleasure
to talk to the ladies of Uxbridge Inner Wheel – actually they’d originally booked
a far better speaker – my wife Joan who’s far more interesting than am I, but
they seemed to tolerate what I had to say.
Then, Thursday evening a critical stage in this year’s
District darts competition. Having lost
our first match against Princes Risborough in the absence of our team captain
in hospital it was vital that we performed well against Maidenhead “B”. Which we did – triumphing 4-0, although
doubles still seem to be a problem for us – just more of a problem for
them. Star player Gur was in good form.
Friday lunchtime saw me at the RC High Wycombe Sporting
Lunch. More than 200 packed into Adams
Park to hear not one but two England Internationals – Martin Bayfield (all 6’
10” of him) and David Trick (somewhat shorter).
Good company & a good chunk of funds raised – don’t know the total
yet.
Highlight of the week was being at the Annual Santa Fun Run in Marlow. The sight of 2000+ Santas setting off around the town was just tremendous. An absolutely superb family occasion and RCs Marlow & Marlow Thames were superbly supported in their organisation by other clubs (Maidenhead Thames, Henley Bridge, High Wycombe, Misbourne Matins amongst them) – well done all for rating such a great family occasion.
