Rotary Engagements since July 1 202
Been a week of meetings to review how we’ve done so far
this Rotary year, and what we’re getting up to the rest of this year plus what
we might do next year, always good to be looking at continuity!
With that in mind on Monday I went to a meeting of our
Finance Review Committee, looking at the figures for this year so far, checking
what we think is coming up and what plans we’re thinking up for the year
2014-2015 and what that might mean so we can set a budget.
Then on Wednesday managed to go to my own club again – we
had our partners join us for the evening, although for us that’s pretty usual
with Joan being a Rotarian as well. Our
speaker for the evening was also a member of our family, son-in-law Alex, who
enlightened us on how TV pictures get from sporting venues to our screens and
the vast numbers of people needed to make it happen (and how that number might
potentially be reduced by technology in the future). Great evening!
On Thursday a meeting with our District’s
Assistant Governors, looking at how the clubs in our District are getting on
and how we can combine to help them.
Terrific workshop on Saturday morning with 25 Rotarians keen
to “Get their Message Across”, with presentations on creative ways of marketing
our Rotary clubs and encouraging people to join us and hands-on time learning
how to update websites. Looking forward to seeing the results of their efforts in the future.
Saturday evening it was off to Oxford to celebrate
the Oxford club’s 90th anniversary.
One of the oldest clubs in our District, the club remains one of the largest
in our District and some 70 of us met at the Randolph Hotel, which has been the
club’s meeting place for 75 years. Guest
of honour was the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, Tim Stevenson OBE, who praised the club’s contribution
to the community over 90 years.
