21-24 June 2009


On the 3 March we had a really entertaining evening with Bruce Grobbelaar and Steve Tandy. Almost 100 Rotarians and guests were entertained by our celebrities in aid of DebRA, this year's charity. The evening added another £1,500 for the growing fund. On the night a cheque of £22,000 was handed over with more to come. Well done to everybody for making this year's charity such an overwhelming success. Have a look at our Picture Gallery where there are a few pictures taken on the evening. More about this successful evening in our next newsletter.

On 10 March we challenged the club of Tamworth Anker to the Brummagem Screwdriver. After a number of pub games, the Meriden Club narrowly won. Anyone else to challenge us?

Other items this month are: Evening with Norman Ripley to which members and their spouses are invited. Of course anybody else interested in Rotary is most welcome.

 

Note: No official meeting on Tuesday 7 April as most of the club will be playing skittles. There will be club members in the "Houston" bar at the Manor Hotel to meet and greet any visitors.

 

A message from our International Committee: The Auction Evening is on 24 April and there is a request for auction items. Please notify Neville Riley as soon as possible.
