Siony, Colin, Pauline and Lindsay offered their apologies for today’s meeting.
No guest speaker as it was the AGM for 2017-2018. The Minutes of the AGM have been sent separately to all club members.
Tuesday’s meeting #1066 was coincidental with a famous date in English History and my family history; William the Conqueror’s victory at the Battle of Hastings, and the beginning of the end to the Saxon World in England. The Gascoines (which ever way you want to spell it) were part of the conquest and were on the receiving end of William’s generosity.
I have provided a picture of an ancestor from around that time, who bears a striking resemblance. Editor’s Note: Sorry Chris.

Thought for the Week
A Rotarian is someone who, through their efforts:
- Digs wells from which they will never drink
- Restores eyesight for those they will never see
- Builds houses they will never live in
- Vaccinates children they will never meet
- Plants trees they will never sit under
- Educates children they will never know
