We were pleased today, to welcome Friendship Exchange visitors from a number Rotary Clubs in New Zealand (the "top half of North Island") with their partners:-

Neville and Barbara Masters - RC Kaitaia ((Ky-tie-a)
Keith and Sue Hingson - RC Kaikohe (Ky-koe-e)
Sheena Spittles - RC Waitakere (Why-ta-ke-re)
Roger and Val Owles - RC Whangaparaoa (Far-nga-pa-raw-a)
Alan and Joy Boniface - RC Warkworth.
                                                                                                   (Thanks to Stewart Atkin for help with pronunciation!)

And their hosts:-

Peter and Chris Chandler - RC Stokesley
George and Joan Craig - RC Whickham Clavering
Ashley and Marjorie Burland - RC Houghton-le-Spring.

... as well as Laurie and Sioned Turner, and Stewart and Chris Atkin from our Club.

After we had heard something of the work of each of the Clubs there was the inevitable exchange of banners ...

  
President Arthur was away on a short holiday, so Vice President Martin stood in.

And a group photo.

Another interesting - and packed - meeting.
