One of the pleasing things about last year was to charter 2 Rotaract clubs. It was great to attend the Rotaract meeting in Rugby to present the club with its charter and President's chain and to see club members get their pin badges. The club started with a football emphasis which it still has but is blossoming nicely into a Rotaract Club with plans to extend its activities to support local charities. It was great to see so much enthusiasm and to see all 3 Rugby Rotary Clubs well represented....

I had enjoyed this service last year and so was keen to go again this year athough I had to leave a poorly student curled up on the settee feeling sorry for himself. It was a cold night and was actually snowing when I arrived - a lovely sight. The church was lovely and warm and we enjoyed ourselves listening to traditional readings and all the favourite carols. Representatives of all the local Rotary, Inner Wheel and Rotaract clubs did readings as well as the Assistant Governor for...

We had to miss the first part of the day because of another event but we were glad we managed to see a fair amount of the event.

Starts were staggered to ensure that the competition was as close as possible.
Other events included curling, mini golf, scrabble, shove ha'penny, darts, dominoes to name a...

Although it was a dreadful night weatherwise as we drove over to Rugby it was certainly sunny and warm inside the Benn Hall. The decorations looked great - both the tables with their beautiful flower displays and the Hall itself with hands displayed around it to fit in with the Rotary theme and there were reminders of the three clubs chosen charities and our polio campaign.
Paul and I were hosted for the evening by the members of Rugby Saturday Breakfast Rotary Club. We certainly...

A lovely evening awaited those who came to the Rugby Methodist Centre for the carol service. The three Rugby Rotary Clubs and 2 Inner Wheel clubs had their annual carol service. They also bought some people from the blind club as well.
The service was a traditional service of carols and readings. It was great to have the carols up on the screen so we could all sing enthusiastically. It was a lovely service and gave us all the time to enjoy our preparation for Christmas.
It ws lovely...

My 34th club visit (halfway there if you don't count Interact and Rotaract Club visits that I want to make this year). It was lovely to be taken by PDG David Robinson - must be the only person to ask to come and hear me speak as he missed my talk at his own club.
A lovely welcome met us both and we were both well looked after right from the start of the meeting. It was a pleasant (if embarassing) surprise to have a detailed introduction to me although not as embarassing as having...
