Friday and Saturday were busy days. Friday I visited RC Bingley. A good Lunchtime meeting with Rotarians and Partners from the Rotary Club of Gerrards Cross & Chalfont St. Peter, District 1090. They are set to have had a very good weekends entertainment and fellowship and the weather has been as kind well as kind as we can expect this ‘Summer’!!!. Many thanks to President Mike and all the Members for their sponsorship donation of £100. The trip to the meeting was interesting as at one point had to drive through about 100 meters of flood water on Canal Road Bradford.

Sad news today as the Dragon Boat Races at York on Sunday have been cancelled as the River Ouse in York is in flood and considered too dangerous to race on.

Saturday the Rotary Clubs of Wakefield Chantry and Huddersfield manage to hold their Dragon Boat Races at Pugneys Country Park Wakefield. Great day of some exciting racing with good weather, well until the final race when it did rain but stopped in time for the prize presentations. Well done to both Clubs and all the teams who entered and together made for a very good event with plenty of fellowship. Each team seemed to be well stocked with Drink and Food with many BBQ’d lit and turning out burgers and hot dogs to order.

What to do with the free Sunday… Well it was our British Hillclimb Championship Meeting at Harewood Speed Hillclimb this weekend so I got the Orange Overalls out and had a great day on Quarry. Glad I did it was a good day with some very good times and sunshine!!!

Week One completed and thoroughly enjoyed. Visited 4 different Clubs but all have things in common, friendly, good fellowship and all working hard to support their local communities and those communities around the world that need the help.

If the rest of the year is as enjoyable I am really looking forward to it.
