The Rotary Club of Church Wilne held its 29th Charter Anniversary at Trent Lock Golf and Country Club on Friday 4th April
when over 120 attended a most enjoyable evening. |
Flautist Chris Hill gave a musical start to the evening which
was followed by an excellent meal. |
Andy Cartwright, the Master of Ceremonies, successfully ensured
the evening flowed in a orderly fashion which included the
introduction, by Mick White, of all the visitors from 16 other
Rotary or associated clubs. |
The toast to Rotary International was given by VP Tony Beenham
who spoke wisely about what Rotary does and achieves both
International and locally. |
The District Governor Peter Moralee in his response and toast to
the Club congratulated the members on their many achievements
during this Rotary year. |
Church Wilne President Greg Maskalick thanked Peter for his
leadership of District 1220 and then continued by covering the
many projects completed so far this year. The club had been very
successful and all members have been very much involved. Major
highlights include the Charity Horse ride held last September
for the Air Ambulance, the Christmas Float, Foundation grant for
Uganda and lots of minor events that again have been a success.

Greg spoke about the Derbyshire Children's Home and was
delighted to present a cheque for £500 to Barry Butlin and Roger
Davis who represent this charity through Derby County FC. There
are still many club events taking place before the end of June
and these include the Clay Pigeon Shoot, Curry Club, Derbyshire
County Show and the Senior Citizens Party. |
Ray Webb the President of Castle Donington Rotary Club responded
to President Greg in a most entertaining fashion.
Stephen Woolly a Past President of Church Wilne RC gave a
wonderful talk entitled "A mis-spent Youth in the Law" which was
illuminating with stories of yesteryear, amusing and very well
delivered. All in all a great night was enjoyed by all and
President Greg thanked the main organisers John Astell, Colin
Orrick and Tony Beenham along with the MC Andy Cartwright. |
