Did You Hear The One About ……….
On Thursday 22nd January 2009 the club enjoyed their annual Joke and Bad taste tie evening.
This tradition was started some five years ago to remember Rotarian John Rigg-Milner who sadly died. John was always one to share a joke with his colleagues and the club felt that the joke night would be a fitting way to remember a friend. Since then, we have added the names of other Rotarians to be remembered at this time. Ivan Aylmer, Dick Collen and Terry Hardway who were all members of the club when they passed away.
This year, the award for the most distasteful tie went to Clive Yallop for his bright orange, mildly luminous and stringhy creation, complete with matching cummerbund all of which he concocted himself.
The joke that caused the most laughter was delivered by John Wallington. I’m not sure what 
the joke was as he had much difficulty in telling it, due to a bad dose of the giggles before he reached the punch line. His fit of the giggles soon led to the whole club crying with laughter. For his troubles he was presented with the coveted blue and yellow jesters hat.
In essence the whole club was able to enjoy a most entertaining and fun filled evening in tribute to their Rotarian friends who are no longer with us.
