Thanks indeed from Sally and I for the super evening on Saturday to the organizing team, all of those who were able to attend and to their guests. We are so grateful for the support and for such a great evenings entertainment. Special thanks though must be given to Nick for being MC and his rousing voice, Jill for leading the way with her rousing chorus and Lucia and the girls for their rousing ripples (or is it arousing).

My family and friends all had a great time and am so pleased to have been able to celebrate my half-century with the people that I care for.

Thank you for making a normally good evening into a fun and such memorable time for us.

P.S. I have got some great ideas for next year – and Lucia you're part of the plan!

Thank you all.

Paul
President Luton Someries Rotary Club ( for 17 more Days )

Twenty-four teams of youngsters from Luton & Bedfordshire met at Stopsley Baptist Church for this years Rotary Technology Tournament.  After the problems caused by last-year's compulsory cross-county-skiing entrance requirements, the turnout was excellent; with schools from as far away as Bedford joining us.

The 'new' first day of Spring seems to be an appropriate time to look back and review the events of the past couple of months, as well as look forward to a full calendar throughout the weeks to come.

As my Gran would say, "You can't plough a field by turning it over in your mind." And we have a large number of acres ready to attack.

Our illustrious darts team (Jean, Craig, Nick and Robert) managed to come second in a match in the district darts challenge on Tuesday 28th February held at the Green Man, Eversholt.

Since the death of founder member David Bates in June 1997, Luton Someries Rotary Club has supported many community projects in his name. He was very aware of the many charities struggling in the community.

We feel sure that David would be proud of the community projects supported by this Award and Luton Someries Rotary Club have pledged to continue with this award, by raising £1,000 annually while deserving community causes can be identified.
