Newsletters

Christmas is now I hope a happy memory and Burns Night successfully celebrated. We are just awaiting the real Spring.  In the remaining six months of our Rotary Year there's lots to do. May I remind you of the emphasis that our RI President Kalyan set us in July last year.

FAMILY CONTINUITY CHANGE

These are still the watch words of our Rotary aims.

I know from many Clubs you have lots of things in the pipeline and wish you success in carrying them out. If you would like me or other members of the District Team with you, please ask.

 District Conference

Another milestone on our journey has passed. The District Conference held in Llandudno was attended by 529 Rotarians and Guests. The Rotary Club of Handsworth were winners of both the Attendance Trophy and the Best Fancy Dress Trophy. There were many other memorable highlights during the weekend, the demonstration of the work of the Dogs for the Disabled Charity being just one. The total raised from Club donations at the Saturday evening Ball collection is £8084.00.

Nearly two months already behind me. Where does the time go? Well, at the present it is being taken up by the very enjoyable “official” District Governor visits to our Clubs. All 28 Clubs visited so far have extended a warm welcome to me, and when accompanied by Sheila, to both of us. It really proves the importance of fellowship with a meal in the Club programme. The gentle leg pulling and friendly banter that makes a club fun too, comes over at all the meetings. Thanks to you all for your hospitality.
