We certainly know how to party in the Brickhills and we showed this skill off to our friends and fellow Rotarians last night 14th January when we celebrated our 10th Charter at The George in Little Brickhill.

There were 47 of us including past members of the clubs some had travelled quite a distance to be with us for the evening. After and introduction form Andy Sheldon and words of welcome form Elizabeth including a past presidential role call, Alison said an appropriately amusing grace. Other guests included 3 Milton Keynes Zone club presidents, Richard and Ann Jackson Bass from Hemel Hemstead Rotary Club, District Governor John Bromley and Ann plus Past District Governor Sandy and David Aked-Walker who gave the toast to the club.

Club President Elizabeth gave the response to Sandy's toast and told the audience how the club has grown and about all the new things that we are doing and what a good shape we are in.

The treat of the evening was the guest Speaker Craig Cooper "the tick tock man" who gave us a serious yet amusing account of this time commanding a bomb disposal squad in Northern Ireland in the 1990's. It was a great talk, a surprise for the audience but one that was fully appreciated and the vote of thanks by Helen Richardson was truly fitting for such a talk and occasion.

Great atmosphere, fellowship, banter, friendship, food, wine and everything!
