Fellow Rotarians & Friends,

We had another great night of fellowship thanks to the wonderful hospitality of Peter and Roslynn Tomlinson. Many, many thanks go to them for opening late and for their personalised tour around the venue. It was appreciated by all present that they hosted us at the end of a working day. The exhibits are amazing and show the effort and time put in over the years to have such diverse (and frightening) exhibits on display. It was sad that Ron and Allison had their flight cancelled so they were unable to join us.

A reminder to all that the AGM is around the corner so please consider nominating for office. We do need people to give consideration to help keep the club going.

See you at the next meeting.

Yours in Rotary

VP Pauline

In 1979, volunteers administered drops of oral polio vaccine to children at a health center in the Philippines. This marked the beginning of a movement that would spread across the world and give Rotary members everywhere an undeniable call to action:

Together, we end polio.
