This past weekend was once again the Derbyshire County Show. In fact it was the 135th Derbyshire County Show. I have been reliably informed by the Club tonight that it is considered a young show at 135 years old as that is recent history in British terms. Personally, I thought it was a long time but I obviously have much to learn still about being British. LOL.
Here are a few photos of our efforts for our pitch spot. We had a Membership tent as well as the balloon race tent. I very much enjoyed playing the piano in the Membership tent. Saw many familiar faces as they walked by.
As you can see everyone had fun. Secretary Tony's son Rob had a bit more fun than most with the helium gas. Here is a video showing you what I mean.
Major special thanks to Tony and Paula who put their heart and soul into making all this a reality this past Sunday. We raised over £1000.00 for Air Ambulance and £750 for Click Sargent. Superb as always RCCW.
CLUB ASSEMBLY
This evening we had our annual Club Assembly where the incoming President unveils his and his Committee Chairmen's plans for the coming Rotary year. It sounds as though Geoff Smith has all in order to bring us a great year ahead for the Club.
Sadly, it was my last full meeting as President. Next week I will be President for half the meeting and back to being part of the rank and file the second half of the meeting. Basically, I will leave home President and come back as a back bencher.
More on all that next week. But first we have tomorrow night - our In Out dinner of Committee Chairmen and Presidents. We will be at the Carpenters in Weston on Trent. Great place and great food. I'll be sure to get some good action shots as well and blog it your way later on this week.
Until then....
