Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings

This week we have another of our evening meetings and I thank Tim Lynch for introducing David Laird to us. David has had an interesting  career and I am sure you will find some of his anecdotes and ‘behind the scenes’ stories very interesting.
Please remember that if you come across someone with and interesting an entertaining background or someone you think would be of interest to our members, please let Glenda know and she will organise a spot, although I think we are now all booked until the end of the year.
The market appears to be on the ‘up’ again with increased number of stalls and patrons now that spring is in the air. The market team is working hard to maintain workable rosters so please let them know when you have organised any swaps you may require. Please do not ask them as you can imagine if we all did it they would soon be under the pump. They have enough trouble with difficult stallholders.
Just a reminder to all those who indicated they would like to help at the ‘Big serve’ tennis tournament on October 29th at the Beaumaris tennis cub in partnership with Brighton, and Brighton North Rotary Clubs form 11.00am till 2.00pm, note the date in your diary now as I will be seeking confirmation in the next few weeks.
 
Yours in Rotary  ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
