Bowling

Our Annual bowling with the Interact went well again this year. 12 of us plus 8 from Interact followed by a Chinese meal. Great opportunity to chat with the youngsters. They are going to have a good contingent at County Show as well.
Have heard from Dordrecht - we are going to be met at Hook of Holland by 3 members with their vintage cars. Jeroen is going to cycle with us. Preparation is going well. Martin and I did 3 miles on the tandem the other night. That should be enough training! We are really looking forward to the trip.

Blood Pressure Awareness Day

Just heard from Chas that the annual Blood Pressure Awareness Day went well. This is a great PR event working with the Red Cross. This was held in the Chequers Centre. 382 members of the public were tested and given their readings. In 5 cases they were advised to visit their GP asap. A most worthwhile project and thanks to all those Rotarians who helped on the day. I was sorry I could not get along this year to help.

Maria's Cakes

The President demonstrating his skills making a pastry rose. Catherine does not look too impressed!

One of our newest members, Maria and her business partner, Catherine entertained us all with a talk and demonstration of cake making. It was good to have an "interactive" job talk especially as a partners evening.

Houses of Parliament

Great trip to Parliament- Sue and I enjoyed it, will await the verdict on Tuesday!
After 3 hours in the Darwin exhibition and then all that history at Parliament I am feeling very knowledgeable. Roll on the next quiz.
Some disappointing news- due to a misunderstanding over arrangements with the Forestry Commission the Bedgebury Walk has been cancelled. Feel sorry for Malc and Ron who organised it- particularly as they were amongst the very few who answered my call to run an event during my year. Hopefully, with a bit of time to go, we should make the funds to support the charities we wanted to this year.
