| Social Events | ||||||||||
| We have a full program of social events
|
Our social committee organise and arrange a full and varied program of activities for the members to
participate in.
Whilst not every activity will appeal to every member, we hope that there will be at least one or two things that will be of interest to each member, during the month. We also actively encourage our partners and families to join us in many of the activities. To see the full diary for the club including social and community activities click here |

| Bloxwich Charter Ball | ||||||||||
 We were made most welcome at the 5th Charter night of Bloxwich RC |
The Rotary Club of Bloxwich is the only other club in the United Kingdom that meets on a Sunday night, as we do. They also do not have meal at their meetings, Like us, and, they are a young club of half male and half female members. President Andrew decided to respond to their invitation to celebrate their 5th Charter night on the 11th September in Walsall. We were made most welcome and we paln to exchange visits to each others clubs soon. click for bigger pictures

It must have been one of the windiest days of the year. At least the sun was shining though. We held a family BBQ in Luton in the park first for games and fun and then down the road to Richard's house for a BBQ. It was good turn out for this event click for bigger pictures and everyone had loads to eat. The children had enormous fun scooting down the garden path at the side of the garden.

Did you know that
Rotary has a
special
fellowship groups for all sorts of interest and hobbies? Well, one
of those is the RRAF The Rotary Retro Automobile Fellowship of
Rotarians. Andy S and Elizabeth saw an advert for a classic car tour of Normandy advertised on the RIBI website and decided to ask if a 2004 BMW Z4 might qualify! Surprisingly it did and we have just returned from a truly wonderful 5 days in wet and cold Normandy. Forty two cars participated and ours was not the youngest. We were number 40. We didn't know anyone else going on this tour, but by the end of the 5 days we had made many new friends. Somehow, Elizabeth managed to volunteer for the committee, to do the 4 newsletters a year and redo the website! We will definitely do this again and perhaps some from our club and
district would like to join us.

| MK dons v Wyckam Wanders | ||||||||||
Even though we had torrential rain, they watered the pitch at half time! Click for bigger picture |
At last the BIG day
dawned. MK Dons v Wyckam Wanders. Morgan had added this event to the
club diary back in 2007. Morgan is a huge fan of the Wanders and
stewards for them at their home matches. He was sitting with all the
Wyckam supporters. It was a sunny day until the heavens opened and
unleashed a torrent of heavy rain. We got very wet. The game only got
exiting right at the end when Wickham were leading and the Dons scored
an equaliser. Unfortunately Neil missed the entire 2nd half as he was
rather ill. Poor thing...but he made a full recovery later that night

| The Brickhills Rotary Dragon Den | ||||||||||
Our worthy winner was Morgan with the website for football fans called "Terrace Tittle Tattle" |
Friday night April
4th we held a "Dragon Den" Brickhills style. 5 of us (whittled down from
9 the cowards....) gathered together in Chairman Andy's house to pitch
our ideas against each other.
This was a great evening. Helen really had prepared an excellent speech and pitch, with props and everything. We all had 4 minutes to present our ideas and then be questioned by the rest. At the end we gave money to who we thought had the best idea and Morgan won with his idea for an on-line dating site for football fans. An evening to be repeated!

| Our Charter Night at the Swan In Salford | ||||||||||
| A great night with nearly all the
club present. |
We decided to
celebrate our Charter night in the Swan at Salford on the 19th January.
It was a dry night which was really good for the ladies walking through
the car park wearing high heels. We were 18 in number and managed to fit round one table. The food was great the ambiance terrific and we all had a superb evening. Guests Sandy and David Aked-Walker joined us along with two prospective members, Sue and Colin.

The weather could not have been better> A mild January day and we took our families kite flying on Dunstable Downs. There was enough of a breeze for the kites to take off, we just need some more practice to keep them up there!
