 Dear Amanda,
I am writing to formally say thankyou for the £4,000 cheque you presented to Michael and myself on Saturday at the District Conference.
Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved with the raising of these funds.
The monies you have donated to DEBRA will be used for our Nurses, Social Care and Research. With your support we will eventually find a cure for EB and eradicate this condition.

 The 2011 District 1260 Conference tee'd off today with the traditional golf tournament, held this year at the magnificent South Cliff Golf Course, Scarborough.
You do get impressions about things you organise. My early one about this year's Conference Golf was about numbers; numbers who had attended the last three or four Conference golf events and whether this year would be any different - when I mentioned it at Bath last year to the first two Presidents of the organising Rotary Club they convinced me it would be 'OK on the night' so I took on the task for another year.
It was hard work - not helped by the committee's decision not to include registration for the golf on the booking form. We finished with nine - although at one point I had ten - entries and we set off on the South Cliff Golf Course at 1.30 pm on Friday afternoon with the traditional complimentary drive by our President. Amanda was handed a 3 wood, ball placed on a tee peg on the first tee, and immediately sought refuge from any embarrasssment by declaring she wasn't confident with a wood - she preferred an iron. Offered one, she declined, and promptly drove the ball 200 + yards straight down the fairway and within a pitching iron of the first green.

Thank you SO much to the 37 club conference co-ordinators who have responded to me so far with their predicted delegate numbers for Scarborough and for the input on where you will be staying – I am amazed and have to say thrilled at the superb response with 7 months to go – over 500 delegates predicted so far. Some clubs are even having their Club Presidents Night on the Friday in Scarborough ……now there’s fun! I am aware that a number of the Hotels listed on the District website are now full and whilst the team is in Scarborough this weekend we will update the list and add further Hotel options.
