Meeting of Monday 10th July

President John Bond welcomed his guest cousin Rod and 19 members to his first meeting as our president.

IPP Paul Weston thanked all those who volunteered for the setting up and organising the changeover dinner last Monday July 3rd. In particular IPP Paul thanked Henk for stepping up with the CV for Trevor Jose and the presentation of his Paul Harris Fellow award.

Some items that we discussed were:

The bulletin – weekly or monthly? Most members it would seem would prefer a weekly with less content.
First board meeting for 23-24 will be Monday 17th July at 5.15 pm.
Monday 17th July our “guest speaker” will be D9705 Area Governor Garth Perkin.
Request for information from Lucy O’Brien for an exchange to the USA.
President John reported that the Red Faces event is coming along.

S@A Dick Jennings concluded the evening with another classic fines session. However Dick said that he missed his Cpl Garth.
