District Handover

It was good to see the club well represented at District Handover at Eastbourne. We gave thanks to Dennis Spiller- what a great year he had, and welcomed John Wilton as the new DG. Different personalities and styles, but equal in their sincerity and enthusiasm to keep the District top of the league. Dennis estimated that District raised about £2 million this year for charities. That's what Rotary is all about. Steve and Margaret joined Richard and me at the handover and is was good to hear team Elms rightly singled out for their work for Fun Day.

I gave Dennis Fowle and Doug Baguley from Maidstone Rotary a lift there and back. Who says Maidstone Clubs don't work together?! Dennis and I are still keen to support a concert for Heart of Kent Hospice next June after the disappointment at not getting the show Oliver of the ground. Doug is coming to club to talk about the Aberfan Disaster- his Dad was there at the time.
