Ken's memories on the year:

• Theme for the year: Charity Fundraising should benefit the community where we live and work and where we can give our Rotary Club some meaning

• CHARTER NIGHT April 24th, 1992. Seventh Charter Anniversary Dinner -held at the Regency Rooms, Ilkeston. This was the first Charter night to be held on a Friday night. (I had a number of guests from as far afield as Birmingham). Also, Friday night is a more suitable night for celebration. I invited the Rev. Brian Barrowdale to propose a toast to the Rotary Club instead of asking one of the members* also a well known raconteur Reg Keirle to entertain us for the last hour. At the last minute Brian Barrowdale developed influencer so I invited Brian Head-Rapson to amuse us with his Rugby days. A total of 186 Rotarians and guests had a very enjoyable night which finished after midnight.

• LADIES EVENING Friday November 1st, 1991. Held at the Regency rooms with 144 Rotarians and guests with dancing till after midnight with the "Constellation"

• FUND RAISING. The French evening raised over £900. Christmas float over £1000 and the Race Night over £800 (for Rotary's Vision to Fight Blindness). The Christmas float money helped to pay for a coach load of disadvantaged children to be taken to the Nottingham Pantomime and to entertain 140 old pensioners to an afternoon tea dance.

• DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Nine Rotarians and wives attended.

• VISITING SPEAKERS A graphologist and body language expert who could tell your preferences and degree of satisfaction from your handwriting.

* Nowadays the District Governor follows on the Response to the toast "Rotary International" with "The toast to Church Wilne Rotary club".
