You will all probably know that I got "manflu" on the day after Boxing day and have only just recovered ... I am now in training for the O2 walk across the dome. No alchohol unitl afte the 23rd February ... aargh!!!
Anyway here is to a good year ahead and wshing all of you a prosperous 2016 ... especially Jacqueline Whipp getting in training for taking on her Presidential year in July.
Club Happenings ...
We welcome our latest member Eddie Higgins to our happy band and it is great because Eddie was instrumental in stating the eClub some three years ago from a standing start. At that time it was a very new concept and Eddie was the district New Club Formation Officer and was asked by the membership chairman roger green to look at what could be done. I joined hiim to desgn the wesite and liked the concept so much I worked with eddie to develop the club [at that time it was very much the blind leading the blind!!]
- Several of us have registered to walk acrss the O2 Dome on Feb 23rd for Rotary Day in support of End Polio Now and Roll Out The Barrel [ROTB] water project.
- Because of the time of year we have found it challenging to get speakers to commit so we have a gap at the moment - we do have one next week and David is sweating to get us back on track. Our plans include Chloe Smith MP, Simon Bailey - Chief Constable Norfolk. a couple of authors, Senior Military person, some rotary Scholars, The Ri President Elect and of course our very own members sharing a bit about themsleves. watch this space
- In the meantime the meeting last night was a most enjoyable social online get together shariing our views, stories and banter together.
Last Night's Meetings ... 6th January 2016
Because of the time of year we decided to hold a "first of the year" online social catch up night ... we all had stories to share about our seasonal break ... Sam was away on a cruise and is set to explore thhe world over the next few months, James is changing his job and planning catching to winter sun in the "windy island" of Lanzarote in a couple of weeks and Clive is lazin' around in his villa in Florida. We have a couple of visitors and potential new members too so looks like a good start to the year
