The club had a very
successful Old Time Music Hall event at the Reepham High School. A full house was
entertained by the group from Sussex and nearly £3000 was raised for Rotary
charities. The Rotarians sang two
numbers and, as usual, despite all the practicing they all forgot their
words! The project at Whitwell
Hall to build the 'Rotary Millennium loo' is well underway with work
continuing throughout April. Members are at present trying to drum up
sponsorship for the next fund raising event which is a sponsored cycle ride. Ken Ewing
Thirteen members were present at the April meeting.
Aleathia took a vote on the Annual Accounts and then said that as our speaker
was unable to come, we would have the Resolutions which were scheduled for
next month. There were 2
Resolutions. These concern (1) Farm Gate Milk Prices. Urge the Government to
raise public awareness of the unfair difference between the retail price of
milk and the price paid to the farmer and (2) Care of the Environment. Urge
the Government to take further action to reduce packaging of all public
consumer goods. Majority vote in favour in both cases. Ruth Clarke presented us with a most interesting Floral
Quiz - the winner being Sheila. It was then time for the jokes brought in by
members to be enjoyed by all present; a very amusing few minutes. Interest was shown in the hyacinth bulbs - with Margaret
Peachment 1st, Audrey 2nd. The raffle was won by Jennifer. At our meeting next month - Monday May 9th - it is
possible that we will have one of the speakers unable to come to a previous
meeting. Come to Sparham's Old School Room at 7.30 p.m. for a surprise
speaker. Mary Humphrey
