President's Prattling ...

  With the aftermath of the Paris terror attack our guest, aptly, this week is Rotary Peace Scholar Claudia Maffetone who will share her story about how she embarked on her journey in Bradford Peace Centre.

 Club Happenings ...

Becky has suggested that we partciapte in the Millenium Dome Walk on February 23rd [Rotary Day] to raised money for End Polio Now. Several members have indicated that they would be up fo rit ... or willing to "hold coats" .. the Dome has a walkway over the top and railings so very safe and quite a nifty way to raise our profile and do good stuff at the same time .... Should be a laugh :-)

Next year's District Conference has been announced and the DG for 2017-18 has asked if we can feature as part of the day - Our DGE has asked if we can think about how we would like to participate in his conference as has allocated a slot for us to talk to the audience in the afternoon. To be going on with here is the video promo for his event in October 2016

Time for Rotary ... 

A preview of the Rotary GB&I national Conference in Bournemouth next April .. this is a great opportunity for our club to perhaps organise a Charter event with a difference and get together for the weekend. We will send a note out to all members to see if there is an appetite to do this. I know it is a long way for some but we have time to think about a fun time to be had.
