The President Writes ......
June 26 2015
Well, my duty is almost endeth!
As the Rotary Year draws to a close, I will soon be passing the Presidential quill to that Man-In-Waiting, the very Bill Baker. Indeed, as I write, he is already preparing a space around his neck for the Leeds Elmete Chain of Office ! The formal Handover will take place on July 16 after my return from holiday.
Having family connections with powered flight, I have to admit until last evening I was in complete ignorance of the art, science and beauty of non-powered flight !
Alastair’s guest speakers were Phil Lazenby and Ken Arkley from the Sutton Bank Gliding Club. The presentation was a tour de force on the history, skills and science that keeps those planes up there at great heights for several hundred miles at times.
A thoroughly entertaining and informative talk and we are very grateful to Alastair for inviting these pilot chaps along to talk to us.
I have really enjoyed my year in office and I look forward to Bill Baker sitting in the chair next year. More about that on July 16. That date is also our visit to Ireland Wood School to do our annual Prize presentation. All welcome.
Next week ( July 2), our Speaker is Ken Garrett. Title under wraps, construction and probably both… Duty Rotarian is Tony Vincent. See you all on July 16.
