Club Handover

29th June 2023 Handover Meeting

Gerry reminded members that she would like to relinquish overall responsibility for our Memory Café by Christmas.       

President Rob then explained that he had some pleasant duties to carry out in presenting two Paul Harris fellowship Awards, given in our Club for exceptional service and this year they go to Maggie Falconer and Steve Carson. He then presented The Harry Thompson award for the Rotarian who consistently demonstrates the highest principles of Rotary throughout the year, this year to Allen Richmond, for his weekly website speaker reports.

There then followed the ‘Handover’ procedure with President Rob passing his chain of Office to President Elect David followed by P E David passing his chain of office to P Elect Gerry Short.

Rob decided it was best to entertain us with “What made me laugh”! This covered videos of:

1. Hancock’s Blood donor event
2. Monty Python – Argument between Michael Palin and John Cleese
3. Dad’s Army: Don’t tell him your name Pike!
4. Ronnie Barker’s Take on the Ministry of Sex Equality’s view on ‘persons’
5. The Worst Ever Hospital Radio with Ivan Brackenbury

So a good laugh to end Rob’s year, with our congratulations and best wishes for David’s forthcoming year                         AR
