Scatter Week Visit
One of the advantages of becoming a Rotarian is that you can visit any club in the world. Each year Corringham Thameside members take part in a scatter week during which members are encouraged to visit another Rotary Club.
Robert Waite, Peter matthews, Danny Lawrence and David Fenn decided to visit The Rotary Club of Isle of Sheppey on Tuesday 2nd June 2009.
The Sheppey Club meet at The Flying Dutchman pub in Queenborough and the Corringham four arrived a few minutes early for the meeting, just time to have a beer and soak up the atmosphere of this hostelry. It wasn’t long before our hosts started arriving and they soon embraced us as one of their own. The meeting was chaired by Vice President Margot Bronger in a warm and friendly manner. Each one of us in turn had the opportunity to say a few words of introduction and we were presented with a club banner to mark the visit. It was interesting to hear the speaker talk about his recent visit to India which took in Amritsar, Delhi and Mumbai and in particular he told us about his visit to The Jaipur Limb Project. A project which our club had supported for a number of years. At the end of the meeting we felt that we were very much a part of the club and had made some new friends, just what Rotary is all about and the reason why we organise scatter weeks.
We will bring you news of other members visits as soon as we hear from them.
