President Paul opened the meeting with Rotary Grace, led by an ex butcher, and then we dispensed the customary toast. Guests were acknowledged, visiting Rotarians were invited to make themselves known, but the response was underwhelming.
We had an extended fellowship break before Paul cranked up proceedings with news from last nights board meeting.
