OH We Do Learn....

So much for taking the Michael out of Steve, Mike and me!

Poor Steve is having a enforced stay in Nevill Hall...or maybe it is his way of getting out of the P60's and end of year government forms too.or was it just too much Rotary input on the weekend.......anyway my free time is now in Abergavenny with my poorly hubbie...get well soon darling, xxxx

Good news maybe that he looses a trouser size..bad news I hate clothes shopping!

Forced Homeleave!

Now did I tell you I am a workaholic as well as a chocoholic!....now I know why I enjoy being busy...Day 2 at home done lots of Internet and Computer Rotary yesterday as Steve is really feeling rough...

Today however I am waiting for the Doctor and am feeling stir crazy!!!!! I think I am going to blame me as I was poorly last week and I think he has caught it ten times worse...or blame Mike Parry.he was with him on the weekend too......

I think he can have the blame ....thats a better idea ....well lets see what the Dr says when he gets here...me or Mike? shame he doesn't know Mike isn't it?.....ahhhh...even more so...Poor Steve....xxxxx

RIBI ASSEMBLY

The Annual Training of District Officers throughout RIBI..Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland...a shorter programme than normal, but with as much fellowship and fun and of course we did learn a lot as well....Our District has a name for enjoying ourselves alongside the Irish Normally, we had a change this year and I think the Districts we shared with may well try to avoid us next year!

President of Rotary International Ray came along on his official tour visit...but came back a second time, so must ahve enjoyed our comapny me thinks! or did he see the young girls that decided our group was good fun....Our team on the whole thought so too...

But now is the time to get on with the planning and working with the goals that have been set..and to have a year that is Fun, but also a year that gets lots done...

Thanks to a great team we think we should enjoy and 'do' the service that Rotary is known for as well as raising funds as needed, particularly for the Eradicate Polio Now Programme...we owe it to the mothers of the world to fulfl our promise to rid the World of this terrible disease...and we will....

DOTS 1

Okay you might think I am Dotty normally but today I was with some others!!!

DOTS is District Officer Training Seminar...and we held the first of the two today..

7 of the 9 AG's met with JC, Mike, David and myself before lunch and had a good seminar where we interacted well. After lunch other officers and new to District came along and we looked at the Theme and the emphases of the year ahead and we discussed how we to progress the theme to clubs and others to ensure we have a productive year where we Build Communities and Bridge Continents..

Thank you to you all for giving up a Sunday which you would otherwise have spent undertaking the family duties, gardening car washing or just watching the match...your commitment is greatly appreciated.

St Patrick Day

I will be on the look for Leprachauns....work for an hour and off to the Hospital! think I better take my little laptop and do some work there as its a probable wait! never mind at least we are fortunate that we have the NHS here in GB..

Off for a meal tonight at the Cripple Creek, so that should be nice and a surprise for Gwyneth to celebrate her being in remission now...
