President's Prattling ...
The weather has been really awful! .. on Saturday I had a day on the broads in glorious sunshine and then again on Sunday with 8 friends and it hissed down until 3 o clock!! Still, we did have a good time consuming vino and food galore.
On the Rotary front I attended a Community Action Conference on Tuesday representing Rotary amongst a significant number of charities and community groups. I have to admit that I was not looking forward to it as I was manning a stand in the breaks single handedly. However it turned out that the day was well organised and relevant - added benefit was that I knew an awful lot more people than I thought I would. I spoke to a couple of people that was interested in knowing more about our eClub and gained a couple of speakers to boot, so David will be happy.
Club Happenings ...
The good news is that donations have been coming in for the Rotary Ride and we look like we will achieve just over £1000 [without Gift Aid] once all the pledges have been fufilled so that was a worthwhile effort on our part ... next year maybe we can go for broke and get more of us on our bikes ... I might even ride a real one ;-))
Our new member Sam Sweiry has been active down in Eastbourne promoting new members in Sussex and with the use of social media and a website at www.sussexerotary.uk
