Another month has passed and the days are getting longer (well the
daylight is getting longer) and it means the end of the Rotary year is
getting closer. March was a busy month with the finals of the youth
competitions. We attended Clifton College in Bristol for the cluster finals of
Youth Speaks -a Debate, Young Musician and Young Chef. Our district was
awarded a 2nd place for Young Vocalist, so we did not have to attend the
National finals on Saturday in Romford.
In club we had a speaker from Education South West, Nick Bramwell, he
spoke about the general problems with young people in school and the
community and told us about the link up between Kingsbridge community
college and Citizen’s advice. We had already made a decision to help the
CA with funding to set up this initiative, David G was pleased to confirm
that we had at last been given details of where to deposit this. And we
have now received a letter of thanks.
The DG called last week and has given us the trophy and certificates for
the pupils of Kingsbridge Primary School as a result of their joint 3rd place
in the Young Apprentice competition. At the district conference in
Plymouth 2 of the teams gave a presentation on their projects and Newton
Abbot Sea Scouts were placed first. However our Year 5 pupils had actually
raised more than the scouts!
April in the rotary year is Environmental Month and many clubs are
involved in various projects including litter picking, beach cleans, tree
planting etc. These are often organised by rotary and actually involve
other volunteers doing the physical work.
April 14th is the club’s AGM and can I remind you that if you are a
committee lead that David C would ask that you send him a copy of the
report that you will be giving at the AGM.
Hoping that April is a more relaxed month with Easter Celebrations later in
the month, it is already a kind month for us as we miss no meetings for
bank holidays.
See you all soon.
