Horse Ride Dinner
First we had our annual Horse Ride dinner where we thanked all the farmers for opening up their fields for us to use back in September. We also thanked our sponsors and of course handed over a very large cheque to our chosen charity for the event - Derbyshire Air Ambulance.
The Air Ambulance is so specialised and all the agricultural community fully supports this charitable service for obvious reasons. The presentation of the cheque was very gratifying as we were able to give over £6,000.00 to Derbyshire Air Ambulance.

Bowling VictoryClub Secretary and JVP Tony Beenham led our Club Bowling Team to a major victory over Long Eaton Dawnbreakers this past Thursday evening at Ilkeston Bowl. Tony received high score in both games and it is always good to have someone on your team who bowls for a bowling league.
My game was pretty dire. I did not instil any sort of good team vibes when my very first ball bowled went for the left side gutter. My second ball wasn't much better, only three pins went down. I gradually got better but nowhere near the dizzying heights of Tony.
Thank you Tony for organising and leading this event and now we wait to hear who we face on the next round. I will go and practise in between time.
Time to go but I will write a new blog this Friday that includes Thanksgiving Dinner this Thursday evening and of course our Monday meeting this past week that involved Derby County Football greats Barry Butlin and John O'Hare.
Until then stay warm on these cold Autumn going into Winter nights.
