It is hoped to leave the Annual Subscription at £140 Invoice awaited from RC Newark Castle for half the cost of the recruitment leaflets, which President had been told cost £112. DP authorised to pay when it arrived. Two members of RC Newark Castle still owed for Charter. If not paid swiftly mother club might take it from pocket money! 7 Fund Raising IW Peter Hall had booked Rugby Club for Murder Mystery 17 April, but CC thought costing of £17.50 a little high. IW would discuss this at next committee. Race Night tba Rotary Day raised a commendable £150 for charity. Teddy stood up well! He was now faced with his greatest challenge which was to try to sell Peugeot cars. Collingham Barbecue and auction needs lots and lots of good lots All CC DPN immediately donated his £25 trousers DS has a meal for two at Piano to secure DS will write to selected sponsors from Bob Benbow’s list DS will attend Fund Raising at Ivor’s house on Monday April 13th Skittles at Chattertons’ set for Friday June 19th 8 Community Service Committee.

Note next Meeting now 16 April 2015 Action PEP training for KE had been well led by our own Andy Foreman DBS still required for IW, LG (JVP), KE, IG Mike Wright and John Gelsthorpe. DS would check Simon with Simon Shaw and obtain any additional forms required from Stuart Barlow. Realising that Simon had his work, a young family, and responsibilities to Business Club, DS would take over the forms for DBS at once and continue next year 2015-16. Paula Hurst would talk recruitment to Collingham Business Club Agreed to run one Club Meeting in near future with seating allocated randomly KE 10 International We need a date from BR for a pre-Singen get together. 11 members had agreed to travel.

PS handing over this year to Clive TR Richardson. Prizes would be awarded by RC Newark, RC Southwell and Newark Violin School. TR had found out about a citizenship award Newark Youth College were running. He would get more details and NOT pursue Young Citizens this year. This left £250 available to meet a request from Bowbridge Junior School for musical instruments, which will be match funded by TR from district funds upon which he could call. 12 Satellite Attendance still biggest challenge, so meeting time earlier, 6.45 for 7.00 breakfast, but too early DPN to evaluate change from Wednesday to Tuesday. AF 13 Programme Children of courage The President thanked DPN for his organisation and for the way the venue, food, Showground staff, programmes, PA and liaison with the press had gone so well. One Rotarian, looking at the age of the recipients, had suggested that “Courageous Young People” was a more appropriate title? For 2016 it was suggested that the compere (preferred to out-dated MC) should start alternating between the clubs. This might inject some much needed change in this area, and also keep better to time. School staff should be told to aim for a 2½ minute introduction, since the programme covered this tribute already. Moreover the compere should indicate when the 2½ minutes was up, and then stop the tribute after 3 minutes maximum. It was felt that roles and responsibilities had generally been divided equally between the two clubs, but that the Castle rep had then intruded on areas which had been DPN’s responsibility, inevitably causing duplication. The idea of having supporters paying £50 per table had simply ensured that businesses and organisations which had hitherto come to the previous three years had not supported this year. The exception was Morgan Tucker who had presented DPN with a donation of £150. Fifth Monday We had accepted a challenge from IW Newark to pub games at Bathley on Monday 29th June. Presentation of CMF cheques Monday August 3rd Mercy Ships would accept their cheque through John and Iris Rhodes [email protected] Beaumond House would supply someone, organised by Cathy Lowe for Mon August 3rd [email protected] Both organisations would give a ten minute update on their organisation and DS would present the cheques, since hey reflected the culmination of his funding year!

RC had managed to get a confirmation for Crown Spa in Scarborough for room reservation DS requested for 2016, which were being handled by Martyn Bye at District level. [email protected]. Deposits would not now be required until January 2016. District had been told by presidents that Directory was much valued and should not go electronic! AF DPN and KE would see if anything else was said at District Committee on Wed March 25th BC DS gratefully accepted BC offer to continue with “flagging up” Charters for 2015-16. In return he would take on DBS clearance.
