Our 29th Charter Night

Our 29th Charter Night was held at The Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club. There were 70 of us for dinner and President Elect Maggie gave us a heartfelt toast to Rotary International, mentioning our Child Aid Uganda involvement and the solar Lighting project. DG Cheryle gave the Club a glowing report for our establishment of the first Rota kids Club in the district at Robert Miles school, Bingham. She explained that this had inspired other Clubs and she was anticipating about a further 18 Rota Kids Clubs to be announced this year.  A special mention was also made about our Memory Cafe that takes place each month in Cotgrave and to this end President Trevor announced the award of a Paul Harris Fellow to Mrs Gerry Thompson. She has been involved from the start of the Cafe, about 4 years ago and drives all the organisation and teamwork in maintaining an interesting programme for this successful activity at the Cafe.Following the standard speeches we were entertained by Grace H-Y, the winner of our ninth Vale's Got Talent, with powerful renditions of "I didn't Plan it", "The Wizard" and "She used to be me", which were much appreciated by all. Grace has recently successfully auditioned for the main role in  "Sister Act - The Musical" which will be staged at the Playhouse on 12th & 13th July 2019. 

All in all another very successful Charter
