A large group met at Drayton Manor Park to meet and hear from the General Consul of India, Mr. Gururaj Rao. Tamworth and Arbury Club members were well represented as they both have links with Rajahmundry Rivercity Rotary Club which was represented at the meeting by Lieutenant Murthy Josti, who also brought his family with him. He told us about the projects both clubs have been involved in with his club which have made a real difference to local people. Several other clubs were...

A nice short journey to Tamworth from work meant I was able to get there on time for the meeting.

Fortunately managed to get to the club despite an accident blocking the motorway. It was good to see several prospective members there. A good atmosphere was evident in the club and several events were in the planning stages.
The club has many projects both local and international which it has shown a long term commitment to. It has also been a club that supports the Foundation. What was great was the presentation to me of a cheque for £1200 to Foundation - I was almost lost for words....
