We certainly know how to party in the Brickhills and we showed this skill off to our friends and fellow Rotarians last night 14th January when we celebrated our 10th Charter at The George in Little Brickhill.
There were 47 of us including past members of the clubs some had travelled quite a distance to be with us for the evening. After an introduction from Andy S and words of welcome from Elizabeth including a past presidential role call, Alison said an appropriately amusing grace. Other guests included 3 MK Zone club presidents, Richard and Ann Jackson Bass from Hemel Hemstead RC, DG John Bromley and Ann plus PDG Sandy and David Aked-Walker who gave the toast to the club.
Club President Elizabeth gave the response to Sandy's toast and told the audience how the club has grown and about all the new things that we are doing and what a good shape we are in.
The treat of the evening was the guest Speaker Craig Cooper "the tick tock man" who gave us a sorting yet amusing account of this time commanding a bomb disposal squad in Northern Ireland in the 1990's. It was a great talk, a surprise for the audience but one that was fully appreciated and the vote of thanks by Helen R was truly fitting for such a talk and occasion.
Great atmosphere, fellowship, banter, friendship, food, wine and everything!

2012 started extremely well as we inducted another new members. Julie became our newest member of the club during our January meeting and has joined the Community fundraising and International committee. Welcome Julie.
We were a very privileged club as Santa asked us to tow him around Bletchley and Newport Pagnell to allow the children to see him and so that Santa could ask them if they had been good!
That time came round again!! The time for the Brickhills Christmas party. We do parties differently form most clubs, we do them 'Brickhills style' and that means lots of fun and laughter with silly games and good food and drink...and this year was no exception.
December club meeting and we had the pleasure of inducting another new member to the club. Jan Flawn became the latest person to join the growing members of the Rotary Club of the Brickhills. Welcome Jan, we are sure you will be a most valuable member of our club.
