Vic is now President, Jim wishing him the best for the forthcoming year.
“Chelwood Bridge Rotary is one of the foremost Rotary fund raising and social clubs in this area and, after 12 years as a Rotarian, I am look forward to my year as President. We have already held several fund-raising events this year including Jim Farmer’s Golf Day which raised finds for Penny Brohn Cancer Support.
My chosen charity this year is Cancer Relief for which we will be holding several events including a Musical Gala, a Virtual Party Night and a Golf Day in 2018.
We will continue to act as stewards and help at events held by other local organisations as well raising funds for our international relief charity, Water Survival Box.
In the coming months, we will be helping at the Bath Dragon Race, in aid of Wizzybugs, on September 10th and on October 6th we will be running a Quiz Night in Stanton Drew Village Hall.
We have a great web site which gives details of all our activities and events. We meet at the Carpenter’s Arms in Stanton Wick every Tuesday evening and our Club Membership is open to all. We look forward to welcoming new members.” President Vic Clarke
Before handing over to Vic, Jim, as outgoing President had an award to make.
One of our founder members John Poling was awarded a Rotary Jacket.
John is very famous for his odes. Vic wrote an ode for the occasion.

Now you are ninety – an ode to John Poling John, Now you are ninety Don’t ease off the pedal. If we’d thought about it sooner We’d be giving you a medal.
Now you are ninety Don’t slowdown in the night, Even though when driving around You don’t know your left from your right.
Now you are ninety You still show us the way. It is a pleasure to know you Here’s to you, Happy Birthday.
