Mar 2016 Our 50th Charter Night Dinner with Special Guests
Fri, Mar 18th 2016 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Our Club was chartered in 1966 and today we proudly celebrate our 50 years of active Rotary and share it with our friends from around the world.
This evening we celebrated in style in the glorious and elegant surroundings of Selwyn College, Cambridge.
We filled the Great Hall with Rotarians from around the world and several emminent guests including the Rotary GB&I President, the Deputy Mayor of Cambridge, Heidi Allen MP, our District Governor and Presidents from other clubs across the area. We were especially glad to have 2 Founder members in attendance.
A great deal of thought and time had gone into creating a lovely display illustrating the clubs activites across the years, many of the hundreds of pennants we have been presented with and some photographic gems had been uncovered.
The Hall looked beautiful by candlelight and the table decorations set the scene for a wonderful and entertaining evening.
Thank you so much to everyone who came and shared this special day with us.
