Let's smell the roses cont.
 
Monday evening 46 members and friends went  to smell the roses.           hosted by John van Delft
 
What a very successful visit, you can't help but be impressed at the hard work and commitment required by John to run such an enterprise. The highlight of the evening was seeing the delight and surprise  of all those present when John gave everyone a bunch of roses to take home. What a kind and generous gesture. Thanks John for a wonderful evening. Did all the boys manage to explain why they arrived home with a bunch of flowers?

Petanque support for Dylan
You will all remember how the Club supported Dylan Lloyd;
Pictured on the right is Dylan with the Bocce set that his family were able to buy for him with help from the Mosgiel Rotary Club and two club members. Dylan is afflicted with muscular dystrophy and is confined to his wheelchair. He competes in Bocce at a high level and travels all around the country to take part. Until now he has had to use borrowed sets and they have varied in standards. Dylan is delighted to have his own set.
This has been a really worthwhile cause as Dylan is a neat young man with such a cheerful disposition; he is always polite, friendly and has a delightful smile.
Editor's note.
Thanks Brian for this contribution, Dylan certainly has a lovely smile of appreciation. We all wish him every success  in his chosen sport.

While we watched from the clubhouse the surfers were having a wonderful time.
