I drove straight from work down to the Arden Hotel for what should be my last Trustees and District Executive meetings. I have been on the Board of Trustees for 4 years and Executive for 6 years - hard to believe I joined Executive in David Robinson's year as District Governor. Both were full meetings and those who attended both meetings were there for three hours. We certainly covered a large range of items.

A meeting of the Trustees to the District Trust Fund began the evening. It is amazing to think the Trust Fund has been there supporting our District projects especially those for disadvantaged children for over 20 years. It is great to see the Trustees staying so loyal to the Trust over the years.
The executive meeting then followed in its new format. It was strange to have less people around the table but I felt it worked well. We had more chance to talk through items on the...
