24 intrepid Rotarians braved the wind and the rain to attend the first meeting of 2016 of the Rotary Club of Deal chaired by Vice President Paul Robbins. Members raised a toast to Rotarian Professor Jack Rowe who recently celebrated his 90th birthday . David Hannent updated members on upcoming events including the club's evening meeting to be held on the 25th January (18:00 for 18:30) at which the guest speaker will be Dr Bruce Eddy who will be speaking on the subject of Prostate cancer. The rotary club of Deal has been active in supporting charities concerned with this illness, and an invitation was extended to friends and family of Rotarians who might like to hear the talk.
Martin Porter spoke about a suggestion made to and supported by Club Council to hold a street collection this coming Saturday 09 January in aid of victims of the Christmas / New Year flooding in northern UK. The case for a collection was made to the Club meeting and support was gladly given by members to support the cause . Arrangements are now being made to apply for a street collection license from Dover District Council – further information regarding this will be issued to all Club members on Tuesday 05 January. If a license is granted then we’ll need volunteers to help with the collection.
John Utting reported the thanks of the Salvation Army for the efforts of Rotarians Paul Robbins, Howard Binsted , Ben Finney and John Utting in ferrying their guests to Salvation Army’s service and lunch on Christmas morning.
He also confirmed the result of the Club’s Christmas Collection which took place at Sainsbury’s on 23 December, when we collected an amazing £519.45 for International charities.Thanks were given to all of the Club members who took part in the collection.
A reminder that the first Club Council of 2016 takes place next Monday 11 January at 14:30 (Deal Centre). Committee chairs were asked to ensure their written reports are sent to the temporary Club Secretary by Sunday evening next, in order they can be circulated prior to the meeting.
David Hannent also reminded members of the upcoming Burns night dinner at the RMA club on the 28th January. Other Rotarians celebrating recent birthdays were John Morris, David Lister and Bob Ford. There were two 200 club winners namely Mr and Mrs Wale of Walmer and Ms L End of Temple Ewell. The weekly wine draw was won by Michel Dourthe.
Paul Robbins made the sad announcement that President Barry Baxter had made the decision to resign from the Club with immediate effect. Paul will be writing to Barry to thank him for his past contributions to the Club.
