Thanks to all of you who came to
the Conference and made it so successful. Even the weather was in our
favour.
As our AG Debbie Hodge in her
'Pause for Thought' reminded us... we can all learn a lesson from the
Geese...how they fly in a V-formation so that the slip stream helps in reduced
effort for others. TEAM stands for Together Each Achieves More.
IPDG Brian Doggrell and PDG Mike
Gardner and his team made sure it was a pleasurable and wonderful experience
with a variety of programme and opportunities for fun and fellowship.

The
programme was a mixture of talks from the Service Committee Chairman showing
how Rotary works in our District, worthy projects such as Canine Partners and
One Water, and inspirational speakers. All were very well received. The final
event, Shed @ The Park, performed by the children of Chesham - home town of DG
Les Lee, was an emotional roller coaster and a fitting end to the Conference.
On
Friday evening many members attended a Casino evening in the Gold Room of the
Winter Gardens with background music provided by Gentle Jazz. We generously
allowed one of the GSE Teams from Indiana to win! On Saturday evening the magicians
kept us mystified and Deja Vu kept us dancing throughout with music from the
40s to the present time.
It
was a most successful Conference enjoyed by all.
It is not easy to summarise what happened there
... but here are some snapshots of the Conference through the eyes of the
Registrar [Guru Guruswamy], some of them taken behind the scenes, and
supplemented by those taken by the Professional Photographer.
For more pictures or better
still to experience it, why don't you
book in your diary the dates for the next Conference, 21-23 May 2010.
You are all invited to Bath with Sandy.
