President John Perett

I was honoured to be at the charter presentation to the
Greenford High school Interact
Club, along with 5 others from
Our Club, the President of RIBI
and the Mayor of Ealing. I am
sure that there is an article in
the magazine covering this
auspicious event so please
read it when you find it.
The Christmas collections
have started and we need more collectors, so please let Julian know if you
can help out. If you find it difficult to make it, try a little harder and I am sure
that you will be able to help out and probably enjoy it all the more for the
extra effort. What we collect bares results on what we can do throughout
the year. We are trying our collecting skills at Westway Cross for the first
time which is just down the road from the Bridge Hotel, fingers crossed it
will be a good spot for us.
Eddie has returned to the fold with his new knee and although there is a way
to go (no pun intended) he has done very well as it is not the most
comfortable procedure but at least the quality has returned to the top table.
It is a shame that Mike cannot be with us for the Christmas Lunch as his
eagle eyed diligence at the slightest misdemeanour in protocol has helped
subsidise the Christmas Lunch, perhaps Ian thinks this is just desserts as I
am sure that Ian contributed the most (by a long way, he just can’t help it you
know).
It was with some sadness that we accepted Malcolm Cantwell’s resignation
from the Club due to the pressure of work, but pleased that he accepted our
invitation to be an Honorary Member; Thank you Malcolm for all your help in
the past. It may seem a low key thanks but it is not intended, I personally
admire Malcolm for his dedication to Youth and Rotary. Thank you Malcolm
Another thanks to another Malcolm, Malcolm Dellbridge, our new Vice
President, to be President in 2011-2012. Well done Malcolm2
