District Conference Information – Llandudno 29th Sept to 1st Oct

Fellow Rotarians

Have you registered?

We know that many of you have already booked your accommodation but have not yet registered for the event.  Remember that we are holding the price until mid August at £40 per person.

So what will you getting for the £40?  We obviously have to pay for the Conference Centre which is by far the biggest cost for any Conference – it also includes the entertainment for you on both the Friday Evening and Saturday Evening. If you wish to join in the Gala dinner then there is the cost of the meal to pay for which we have managed to keep to £35 per person. The entertainment is open to all but entrance will be limited initially to those dining and then open to other delegates after the meal.  Timings will be released nearer the date.  Don’t forget the Golf Competition as well, only £40.

We have listened to you from previous Conferences and note that you wish to learn what is going on in Rotary, so we have arranged speakers that will tell you what is happening and at the same time amuse you.  We will also have one or two other speakers to entertain you and share their stories.

Speakers include:

Barney Callaghan a Rtn from Northern Ireland a past DG who is amusing but hard hitting about the future of Rotary.

Rtn Dave Ellis, many of you will remember David’s talk about Membership three years ago he now has a new thought provoking talk for you.

We have the CEO from Kids Out – Gordon Moulds – an initiative that Rotary is very much involved with.

There will be updates on District Initiative and Projects that are currently being undertaken.

We also have PDG Molly Youd and her daughter Fiona who have a great story to tell on setting up a new club for younger people.

Finally, we have been fortunate to get Past President of Rotaract UK Louise Moss to come and talk to you about Rotaract.

Non Rotary Speakers are Andy Cope, an Inspirational Speaker who has spoken at several Charters around the country.

Children’s Air Ambulance

Canine Partners and their national speaker Malcolm Wells, MBE, plus a demonstration on Stage.

Geoff Miller, past England Cricketer and Test Selector.

We have also listened to you regarding the Rotary Showcase where we hope you will enjoy the interactive stalls this year, including the Flight Simulator of the Children’s Air Ambulance, Heartbeat and their defibrillator training. Prostate Cancer charity will be having a stall.  District Projects will be in evidence.

So, what do we want from you – simple to enjoy yourselves – come along and meet like-minded Rotarians from around the District. The RIBI President Denis Spiller will also be there for you to chat to.

So, come on, now is the time to register.

Let your hair down on Friday Night with a very casual dress or Jeans and Checked Shirts, while we Hoe down to Two Left Feet.

After you have eaten your fill at the Gala Diner on Saturday Evening we will dance the night away to one of the UKs best Event Bands ROLLACOASTER.

All in all, we have a weekend of Fun Fellowship and Friendship arranged.

To those who have not been to a Conference before – come along and try it.

To those of you who used to come but no longer do – come this year and enjoy the fellowship.

There are Hotels and Guest Houses in abundance in Llandudno to suit all pockets so cost should not be an issue.

Remember the dates 29th September to 1st October

Foundation Seminar opens the eyes

Peter Moralee welcomed over 100 fellow Rotarians to the annual Foundation Seminar at the Derbyshire Hotel on the 10th Nov.

The Seminar updates club representatives on the progress of the only Rotary International charity – the Rotary Foundation.

Thanks were expressed to the over 80% of District Clubs who actively support their charity in addition to their many standalone club projects. Updates were given on the End Polio mission, making a grant application, and the creative process behind the Rotary club of Doncaster St Leger’s  End Polio pack for primary schools. Peace fellow Yuko Maeno updated on her progress by video from Japan, – complete with her recently born baby! A personal appearance by current peace fellow Mike Niemiec on his military experience and induction into the Rotary Peace Program at the University of Bradford provided a fascinating insight into the benefits these scholarships deliver to the world.
