I hope that it will encourage new members to join us, have fun and make a difference, as well as making Rotarians feel proud of their work.

<h2>
MID SUMMER MADNESS </h2>
<div>
MAIDSTONE RIVERSIDE ARE WELL NAMED July 25</div>
<h3>
Riverside BBQ and Canoeing in the Medway </h3>
<div>
Another really hot afternoon and Rotarians were once more busy setting up gazebos ready to serve Young Carers with gourmet delights and drinks after an afternoon on the Medway. (Thank you Medway Canoe Club and Rotarians and family members of Maidstone Riverside Club) </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
What a memorable start to the summer holidays for these young people and me. Everyone really had fun, some getting MUCH wetter than others, swimming rather than canoeing! We played games in the canoes and paddled vigorously. It was a privilege to join them on the water even though I disappointed Colin Norgate by not falling in. He was posed waiting for the moment to catch me falling in !!!</div>

OVER THE DOME FOR POLIO MEETING July 27 </h2>
</div>
<div>
Thanks to Mike Martineau (Beckenham RC) and Christine Atkinson (West WickhamRC) who have now finalised the Over the Dome event for District. Details have been sent out to all clubs and Mike will be available at Engage for more sign ups. It would be good to have reps from all clubs to take part. If however you cannot find a willing climber perhaps your club would sponsor my climb and put the funds raised in your own Club's Polio pot! (Let me know if you do )</div>

BBQ and SINGING with STROOD RC July 28 </h2>
<div>
Another lovely afternoon and evening chatting with Strood Club and their wider Rotary family. I really felt I was in Kent and not in the London suburbs as I travelled through apple orchards. </div>
<div>
Thanks to Kevin and his wife for shopping and cooking and to the club for inviting Jim and I. A really great afternoon. Thanks for the invitation President Rachel.</div>

Hope for Tomorrow brings cancer care closer to home</h1>
</div>
<div class="ContentEditor" style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.25px; line-height: 1.4;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
In 2013, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust partnered with national cancer charity, Hope for Tomorrow and launched a Mobile Chemotherapy Unit (MCU) to bring cancer care closer to patients’ homes. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
In a unique partnership the MCU is developed, built, owned and maintained by Hope for Tomorrow and operated by highly trained NHS staff. These well-equipped MCUs allow cancer patients to receive treatment in a restful environment closer to home, saving stressful long distance travel and minimising waiting times, allowing them to spend more time with their loved ones. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
In addition to the MCU, Hope for Tomorrow provide the Trust with a Nurses Support Vehicle to allow the nurses to travel to and from the daily treatment locations along with any additional supplies or equipment that's required.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The MCU has historically visited the locations below to give treatments (subject to change):</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>Cheriton </strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>Dover</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>Herne Bay</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The MCU can visit up to five locations each week to give treatments, with up to 15 patients benefiting each day. These treatment locations are carefully chosen by the NHS Trust, based on where they can treat the most patients at any given point, hence being subject to change.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">

My journey to the 'Land of Sheppey' was fast, so arrived in time for a big breakfast at Morrisons before joining the Minster team, setting up their Beer Festival at 9.45. SO the apprenticeship continues. I should be much improved by the time I get to Kings Hill and Langley Park for their festivals !! A wonderful event and so much fun with the Rotarians of Minster and friends from as far away as Illinois!<br />

<div>
to join EASTBOURNE AM CLUB Rotarians supported by other local Rotarians for the <b>Round the lighthouse walk </b>for 1200 walkers along the cliffs , beach and around the lighthouse. Just great.

MEDWAY SUNRISE RC VISIT Aug 16 </h2>
<h4>
Left at 6.15 am for this visit.</h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Another very energetic Club. At 7.15 am Grace and Paul were busy in the kitchen sorting breakfast and drinks before the meeting. We had a really interesting talk from one of the members, Nora,<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">who is from Kenya and has been doing a PhD project. The project is linked to a District Grant, in which the club has provided a supply of sanitary towels, underwear and hygiene advice for one year to 200 girls in schools in the Matinyani area of Kitui County in South-Eastern Kenya. The girls otherwise would end up missing up to 40 days of school a year with a measured detrimental effect on their studies and their future employment.</span></span></div>

No need to go to the gym if you are a Rotarian collecting on this pebbly beach. I was really tired after collecting across a section of the beach and I needed to be rewarded with an ice cream. Later in the evening a number of us shared a social supper with Ray and Jenny Dixon. Really lovely! <br />
Next morning, I helped with the parking at St Andrew's School.<br />

Jim and I were treated to a most moving and wonderfully sociable event organised by Medway RC last Tuesday after returning from Gibraltar. It was buzzing, with I guess 60/70 diners including visiting rotarians and guests, some of whom had taken part in the Children's Hospice Holidays programme. Ellenor Hospice staff also joined us. IT WAS A CELEBRATION PARTY!!There were several presentations. The joy in the children's faces and the comments from their parents on the video clips brought everyone in the room close to tears. </div>
<div>
Without ROTARY these memorable family experiences would never have taken place.</div>
<div>
We have lost a daughter to Cancer so know first hand how memories are what we hold on to. </div>

MEETINGS </h2>
<h2>
A big commitment but unfortunately necessary.</h2>
</div>
<h3>
Regional Meeting in Chelmsford with other DGs</h3>
<div>
I met with the DGs in our Region along with our RIBI representative Tony Quinn once more. This was valuable as we identified items which we would like to be discussed at the RIBI Council in 2 weeks time. The preparatory on line meeting happens tomorrow at 8am. This makes the actual meeting smarter as people travel from Jersey, Ireland and Scotland to Alcester for it. </div>
<div>
I heard that 75% of the clubs in the Essex Area are now entering their projects on Rotary Club Central which is on the RIBI website. Aiming for 100% so I hope you will all do this too. If you need help take up one of the training sessions which will be held in Bromley, Eastbourne and Canterbury. Good access for all!WE CAN REACH 100% TOO</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Executive Meeting </h3>
<div>
The first of the Year with the full team from your clubs and representing you. Your AGs are circulating some of the outcomes of the meeting but I will draw your attention to 3 of them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Bookings in final stages for ENGAGE in Canterbury. Its going to catch up with us fast only 6 weeks to go 7-9 September</div>
<div>
2. Over the Dome with the DG for Polio will take place on 23rd October during the day. Watch out for sign up in August. </div>
<div>
3. Council Meeting Sept 19- We will be sending details of an additional opportunity prior to our Normal Meeting. From 4.30 there will be presentation/ training chatting, followed by a Buffet and our normal meeting. Watch this space. Information will be sent to your secretaries in August. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Off to Plymouth for a flying visit to see 98 year old mum</h2>
<h4>
This will make you smile</h4>
<div>
Sat for 2hours at Paddington waiting for my booked train - It would have cost £145 to go earlier if I changed my £26 ticket </div>
<div>
Go of 7.45pm train with ticket for coach J Seat 22 No coach J. Was told this was because it was an old train and not the new train !!!! Not sure of the logic there.</div>
<div>
Loudspeaker notice for passengers to use any seats </div>
<div>
Sat down</div>
<div>
2 mins later over the loudspeaker NEWS We are looking for the driver but good news there is one in Reading. (We are in Paddington and now 8.15)</div>
<div>
Laughed with passenger beside me . During our conversation I only to find she was a Mrs Parsons (Possibly one of your worst dreams folks ANOTHER ONE! )with son called Alex John as is mine. Coincidence eh!</div>
<div>
Arrived in Plymouth after Midnight.</div>
<div>
Saw mum 9am Friday morning . </div>
<div>
For those who like ships here is a picture I took from her room of HMS Ocean now sold to Brazil!<br />

</h3>
<div>
This was a very special occasion as it was the celebration of a second generation within the Sevenoaks Club taking on the responsibilities of Rotary Service in the town. The baton has been passed to the satellite members, who are now taking the lead as THE ROTARY CLUB OF SEVENOAKS , very much supported and encouraged by the experienced rotarians of the traditional Sevenoaks Club. Bill Ogley talked about the amazing service programmes that the club had been involved in. Watch this space- We hope there will be a book arriving soon documenting many of them It will be a fascinating read.</div>
<div>
Good luck Simon and Heather Jane who will be sharing the President's role over the next 2 years. </div>
<div>
I look forward to visiting you and helping with your activities.</div>

CHELSFIELD FAIR WITH ORPINGTON AND ORPINGTON CROFTON CLUBS </h3>

It was great to have a sunny day for the fair but Rotarians kept to the water rather take the wine.</div>

I have a new nick name. No longer the pocket rocket but on Sunday was christened Little Chef. The apprentice chef at the Community BBQ run by Ashford Club. It was fantastic. Sunshine, Bouncy Castle. Fab food and old fashioned races like egg and spoon and sack races. Excellent.</div>

<h2>
Be the Inspiration in your Communities </h2>
Earlier in the year I set up my blog as a trial for the 2018-19 Year. I will keep you up to date with my travels and involvement with our clubs across the SE & Gibraltar on my blog (Weekly if I can manage it!!) and use my DG page on the website to keep you up to date with projects. (Monthly)<br />
<br />
Our SE District Clubs have ensured that I have not relaxed in the run-up to my year of Office as DG.<br />
<h3>
Selected Activities from the past few weeks I would like to share </h3>
<h4>
An evening with my own Club who are seeing me rarely, but I am managing to attend all Satellite meetings as they are monthly.</h4>
<div>
After introducing myself to my fellow club rotarians who have not seen me for a while!!!! I was given the floor to share my planning for the DG Year and to thank them for agreeing to act as drivers to the wonderful club events. I have been invited to- Swimathons, Beer Festivals, BBQ's . Festivals..... I have my trainers and Rotary T -shirts ready for helping you all at your events!</div>

I have a plan to visit or re visit places in our District while making my Rotary Journeys to join clubs I really enjoyed Margate and particularly my visit to Turner Contemporary . I lay down inside a contemplation installation. I don't think I relaxed, just thought about what I was taking on for Rotary!</div>

<h4>
Sonja Curtis Ravensbourne Rotary Club </h4>
<div>
Many of our rotarians are giving service outside their Rotary commitments and Sonja has excelled herself in leading on the placing of a Memorial to the Voluntary Aid Detachment Nurses of the First and Second World Wars at the National Arboretum. Her talk is really something worth listening to and she will tell you about her project raising funds for extreme nursing in this country as well as abroad e.g. Terrorist attacks and the Salisbury poisoning. Contact Sonja if you would like a talk... YOU CAN FIND HER DETAILS ON DMS</div>
<div>
She organised the prestigious event at the National Arboretum for the consecration of the Memorial and spoke eloquently in the presence of Royalty. Well done Sonja. Our group of Rotarians were proud to support you on the day.</div>

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED</h2>
<div>
Well its early March so I thought I would do a catch up with you all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
SAN DIEGO</h3>
</div>
<div>
A long way to go for my DG Training, but I can assure you that the training was WORLD CLASS .</div>
<div>
It was a privilege to be with DG's in waiting from 52 other countries. I was overwhelmed by the impact that Rotary is making Worldwide and it was wonderful to learn about and share projects, issues and hopes for Rotary in the future. I hope to share some of my experiences at President Elect Training and at Assembly.</div>
<div>
Barry Rassin, will be the President of Rotary International next year and he announced the theme for the year and shared his hopes for Rotary next year and into the future.</div>

<div>
The presentations by young rotarians were really inspiring!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Look at these 2 videos if you are interested in reaching the younger generation. They are certainly 'food for thought' and give an insight into the thinking of young people and the value they place on Rotary opportunities. <br />

I visited a Paradise Valley local Rotary Club while in San Diego. They met on an Industrial Estate , in the business premises of one of their members. What a warm welcome shared with rotarians again from all over the world. 4 new members were inducted on that evening, by President Jo Santos below.<br />

DON'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESEARCH MEMBERSHIP</h2>
<div>
Last time I made my journey to Devon to visit my mum I chatted with a PhD student from Turkestan, studying at Exeter Uni. After our 2 hour journey he was keen to join Rotary and has now been contacted by his University Rotaract Club and I hope is enjoying in Rotary activities.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Last weekend on my journey South I chatted with Henry VIII and his 6 wives. They were on their way to a Rubgy Match in Exeter and were very interested to learn more about Rotary, particularly e-clubs. Had some good ideas too. They said that in their opinion young people would join in projects rather than join a club. Perhaps 2 or 3 a year. they felt they should be sociable and fun. FE colleges as well as University students could be involved.<br />
<br />
Perhaps we should be doing more with our local Colleges and University Students. I know Canterbury Christ Church University are on their way to forming a Rotoract Club. Well done.<br />

<br />
It was however good to have a flavour of what I had missed more locally sent to me.<br />
<span style="color: red;">Thank you Clive Doubleday </span>(Our International Lead person for District) for sending me photos. As soon as you have the dates, please let me know when the Rochester Christmas event will take place in 2018 and I'll put in my diary so I can offer some willing hands. I know Carol and Bryan really enjoyed their time helping.<br />

<h2>
OUR SLEIGH COMES OUT OF 'MOTHBALLS'</h2>
My i-phone Health app has been working hard clocking up my steps when out with Santa and our sleigh, greeting families and fanning the excitement as Christmas approaches. So important not to just consider the amounts we collect, but to remember the joy we bring when we trudge around the streets in the cold.<br />
<br />
Any offers to show me how to track Santa around the streets on a map? I know some of you do this. Something to share.<br />

MORE CHRISTMAS EVENTS </h2>
<div>
Friday </div>
<div>
My first Christmas Play this year 'Children of the World' at Chatsworth Infant School. Really impressive- Wonderful Singing, Word Perfect and such super costumes. Those smiling faces just made it. The pupils and staff should feel really proud. Christmas always starts for me when the tinsel falls on my carpet from their lovely invitation!!</div>
<br />
Collecting outside Marks and Spencer in the cold on Saturday, followed by a really lovely evening where our Club partnered with the Petts Wood Operatic Societry. They provided a wonderful evening of high quality singing, interspersed with Festive and Funny readings. We provided refreshment which was much enjoyed and together a large audience. Thank you to Orpington Club for supporting us. Well done our President for setting this up.<br />
<br />
IF YOU PARTNER FOR EVENTS MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ROTARY AND ALL ORGANISATIONS TAKING PART BRING THEIR FRIENDS!! Oh it does make life easier and cuts the stress!! you make new friends too. PERHAPS A CHOIR MIGHT BECOME A ROTARY HUB!!<br />

FARNBOROUGH LIGHTS </h2>
<div>
(Sunday)YOU ARE ALL BUSY as Christmas approaches </div>
<br />
HAVE FUN and DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR FESTIVE PICTURES ON CLUB WEBSITES AND TWEET EVENTS AND ROUTES FOR FATHER CHRISTMAS!<br />
As usual a small group of Rotarians from our Club joined the local village members to prepare Farnborough for the 'switch- on' of the Christmas lights. We closed the road and erected a tent outside the Change of Horses, the pub where we meet each Monday evening. It was dry and there was a new tent rather than the old one without instructions, so the jigsaw puzzle was easier this year. Brian and Keith are considering where to start, while PE Chris just gets on with the job!!! A swift warm job this year, with good hot drinks. Not too many disagreements on which pieces fitted together!!<br />

<h2>
<br />LANGLEY PARK SMALL CHRISTMAS HAMPERS</h2>
(Monday)<br />
I noticed in the weekly Langley Park Newsletter that they were not only filling Shoe Boxes this year, but also collecting Christmas food and treats to distribute locally. This is in addition to collections and supporting other local events over the festive period. I was happy to deliver a hamper to them, before meeting up with one of their members in a COSTA to discuss their offer of helping on the District Team. Thank you Andrew.<br />
<br />
Well Done Langley Park<br />

(Wednesday) Thank you to our guests for a super evening. Under Chef President Keith's watchful eye we prepared a delicious meal for 15 plus guests and supporters. We appreciated the accolades for our cooking (Well Keith par-cooked most at home but we accepted the thank yous!!) It was a really fun evening working with 4 fellow Rotarians doing something worthwhile.It was good to know that there would be warm accommodation for the night for the guests after their meal.<br />

PROJECT EXCHANGE CARDS<br /> </h2>
<h4>
THINK ABOUT WHICH PROJECT YOUR CLUB WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. (For the New Year)</h4>
Here's a sample- thank you Jarle<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This week I have been sending out information to your AGs about the Project Exchange cards we are asking Clubs if they would like to complete, so that we can share across the District next September at ENGAGE. You are all doing so many wonderful projects. Please consider choosing one or two projects you are proud of to share with other clubs. Cards will be printed for ENGAGE and then all projects will be featured on our website. AGs can support you with this and help to identify with you a range of projects at Home, Away, Fund Raising and Service. sometimes the simple projects really work well.<br />
Thank you Celia for providing low res images for me.<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: red;">ROTARIANS VOLUNTEER FOR EMERGENCY DUTIES IN THE NORTH OF OUR DISTRICT</span></h2>
<br />
GOOD NEWS- Rotary Volunteer support for local emergencies.<br />
<br />
Bromley Rotary Emergency Support Team is now almost in place and Clubs are just finalising details and hopefully Rotarians preparing their Grab Bags !! Good to be prepared but let's hope we are not needed.<br />
<br />
I have visited the Bexley lead for Emergency Planning and they are going to mirror the Bromley Rotary Volunteer Programme, giving it their own personal touch. This week I have asked Bexley Rotary Clubs to identify a co-ordinator and volunteers.<br />
<br />
It is expected that Rotarians and partners will be asked to help in local Rest Centres.<br />
<br />
KENT COUCIL is expecting to launch its volunteer training in the New Year.<br />
<h2>
<br /><span style="color: red;">ORPINGTON CROFTON CLUB </span> </h2>
- with partners enjoyed a really interesting talk about Life in the MET. Kim Botting, a past Mayor of Bromley, told us how difficult it was to be accepted as a woman into a police team in the 70's and how the role of women has gradually changed. I can recommend her talk, insightful and amusing! (Monday)<br />

THE STAFF AT MY LOCAL STATION SEEM FASCINATED THAT I TAKE TRAINS TO SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES<br />
<br />
<br />
They are very friendly and helpful, ensuring I get the best deal from the edge of the London area and using my rail card! Many of the train managers and passengers know more about Rotary than they did before meeting me.<br />
<br />
Today Wednesday. Off to Barming, where Carol picked me up and we had a 'car meeting' on the way to <span style="color: red;">Herne Bay RC. </span>A warm welcome and once more an interesting talk from Tom Yendle about Flat Spaces and Talk Tables. He went to see a possible plot of land for a SE Flat Space after the Rotary meeting. (Wednesday)<br />

We reviewed Service over the last month and arranged to meet on January 5th to plan our Talk Tables Project. No more meetings before Christmas as we have the Christmas collections and Festive dinners. (Friday)<br />
thank you Finch House for your support. A super cafe. Why not try it when you are nearby.<br />
We decided to focus on setting up a Talk Tables project in Orpington working with other organisations locally. we hope to be supported by both Orpington Crofton and Orpington Evening clubs.<br />
<br />
Did you know that it only costs £7.50 a month to be a Satellite member of Rotary in this Club? Affordable. contact me if you want to know more. 07901911172 </div>

<b>OUT AND ABOUT IN ROTARY SOUTHEAST AND GIBRALTAR</b></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Hi there everyone. Well the last few weeks have been busy and interesting. I have been promising a blog, so I do hope that you will read it. I am not an expert Blogger so please excuse the gaffs. I am sure you will point them out and I'll try to be a quick learner. Having been on intensive training to be a DG, which was held in Rainy Riga with all the other DGNs of my year, I thought I had better do as was promised and start my blog. The Latvia rain I soon found out was training for my Sleep-out.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b><span style="color: red;">SLEEP OUT- IN NOVEMBER </span> </b> It was wet!!!!!</h2>
<br />
I am trying to look comfortable and keen to spend the night out in a Bromley Graveyard in aid of The Bromley Shelter for the Homeless. A big thank you to all who sponsored my efforts. thanks to AG Mike Martineau who helped me struggle into my Bivvy Bag (and then go home It had started to rain!!) and thanks to President Keith Heard Orpington Crofton for being one of the breakfast cookers. Very welcome. I looked a real wreck I am sure when I crawled in for my very welcome breakfast!<br />
<br />

<br />
The night was long and VERY VERY WET. I did not feel lonely though, as the church clock chimed every hour. Guess it could have been worse. Might have been every 15 mins.All was a little better after midnight though!! We had a super meal prior to the sleep out. Thank you local restaurants Tamasha Indian Restaurant and Havel Turkish Restaurant We had entertainment too.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Volunteers are needed for Befrienders </span>who will keep an eye on the Guests during the summer months when the Shelter is not open. If you are local you may be able to help.<br />
<br />
Thanks for organising Ed. Orpington Crofton Rotary are looking forward to cooking over the winter.<br />

It was great to support the Chislehurst Rotary Club team at their fireworks event. Helping on the gate it seemed that the 1000s of people arriving were never ending!! I think 7000-8000 in all. I didn't count!!A super night and I have to say really well planned. The briefing for volunteers was excellent... something to share across District!Well done Rtn Jan Ward and the rest of the Chislehurst. Rotary Team. there were so many thank yous from adults and children as they left the event. A good evening was had by all. Good to share the gate with volunteers from Sidcup Rotary too.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><br />THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT LATER IN THE WEEK WITH OUR GLOBAL SCHOLARS.</span></h2>
They were very impressed! They were joined by their host Clubs, members of the Rotary Clubs of Bexley, Orpington Crofton, Ravensbourne and Beckenham. Thank you to Bob Stewart MP for Beckenham and Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of Beckenham.He gave us a really interesting tour which ended with time on the terrace of the Houses of Parliament.<br />
