Clay Pigeon Shoot, Concert, Remembrance Sunday

It was an incredible weekend past with three major events happening within 24 hours. Only Church Wilne Rotary Club could accomplish that sort of thing. First off was the Clay Pigeon Shoot that Rtn Andy Cartwright planned and promoted to great success. There were 29 participants of all ages and every last person had a smile on their face. 

What I can't believe is that I actually won the event. Here is the score card to prove it.

Many of the participants were Rotarians and here is a great shot of all who came from the Club to support this superb event.

But, what you got to watch for are the ladies from Inner Wheel. They are a tough bunch with guns in their hands! LOL But they shot very well.

May favourite shot though is of Mrs T rearing back and firing and hitting one of those clay pigeons. Well done!

Of course the men looked the part as well. Here is Pete Wealthdale taking his shot. Well done Pete.

And, here is Andy letting us know how guns work and giving a very good H&S talk beforehand. Andy organised the whole thing and we are very grateful for his enthusiasm for the Clay Shoot and wish him luck in organising the District Shoot in Spring 2014.

The shot of the day is when I asked the Rotarians to pose with their guns. What I did not expect is an assassination attempt. LOL You can tell only one of these guys likes me.

FOUNDATION CONCERT

The very same day (in the evening) was our Foundation Concert where we raised £225.00. That amount has now helped us reach our fund raising target for our Uganda project. My thanks to all who turned out to support the Concert and to our two incredible performers who helped me entertain the audience that evening - Ellie Sheehy-Smith and Chris Hill.

Chris will have a CD out on iTunes shortly so watch this space!

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

I had the great privilege of representing RCCW at the Remembrance Sunday church and memorial services in Draycott whilst IPP Derek Sheehy Smith did the honours in Ockbrook. My most sincere thanks to Derek and to all the Rotarians who came out and supported me and Derek on the day. The pictures below tell the whole story. As per usual the services were moving and thought provoking about wars past and present.
