At our regular meetings we toast the members of a Rotary club in another part of the world.
The toast reminds us of the international nature of Rotary and that clubs like ours are active and doing good on every continent.
We first started to toast the members of other Rotary clubs in October 2020, but having toasted all the Clubs for whom we hold banners in early November 2023, we are now starting again.
“From all of us here to all of you there. From beautiful Guernsey, a Rotarian Cheer!”

Dear Simon, Thank you all in Guernsey for your generous and unexpected greetings. What a lovely place you live in. I will be taking over as president of Pershore on 1st July, and am presenting my plans (sounds grand, but isn’t) to the club next week. I will pass your greetings on to the club, and if I know them as well as I think I do, they will want me to reciprocate. Kind regards, Peter Gardner. |

Dear Simon, Thank you for your message and sharing this lovely tradition of toasting other Clubs! We do this from time to time also.

Good morning Simon, Thank you for your mail sending greetings from the Guernsey Rotary Club. I know one of our members Mike Smith visits you when he is visiting your sunny island, he always reports back what you are up to. I have copied your mail to our President Stephen Jordan, in order he can give your greetings to our club at our Friday meeting. I will also access you web site to view the "Toasting". At this time we are very envious of your climate, given how cold and wet Yorkshire is at the moment, central heating switched on! Martin Mumford, Club Secretary |

Thank you and your club for toasting Taunton Vale. I will ensure that I reciprocate on Monday week when we meet. Please send our best wishes to your club including Simon Milsted (former Round Table colleague) who I believe to be your past President (if not apologies). I am often in Guernsey visiting my sister in law (owns Wink, the jewellers) and my nephew (at the Hook and Fuku restaurants) both in St Peter Port. Next time I will look you up and see if you are having a meeting. Kind regards Phil Greenway. Past President Taunton Vale RC. |

Hi Simon, what a lovely idea! Many thanks. Coincidentally, I have been looking at your shop recently for End Polio Now merchandise. Did your club know this, or is it just a weird fluke? Regards - Arnold Sampson, Secretary, Rossendale Rotary |

Hi Simon, Thank you for your communication, I read your information to the Luddites at our meeting last evening. We get some feedback about Rotary in the Channel Isle, I was DG for District 1040 in 2018/19 and meet up with Allan Smith from Jersey who was your DG, but more closer to you one of our members left the Luddites and came to Guernsey to work for a few years and now has returned back to us, he is David Mullins who I think was a member of your sister club, and he still visits the isle regularly and in doing so brings us Rotary news. So please give our Luddite best wishes to your club. YIR, Nigel Arthurs, Secretary Birstall Luddites |
