Duty Rotarian: R Cundy. Raffle prize by: J Winstone. Technical Duty: J Sheldon.


Those attending the DG's lunch at Scarborough last year will remember that the guest speaker was Michael Portillo, speaking in his role as president of DEBRA. You will also remember a 'Recipe Book' being autographed by Mr Portillo to help us raise funds.

DEBRA is the national charity working on behalf of people in the UK with the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic disorders that result in fragility of the skin and, in some cases, other internal membranes and organs. Blisters, open wounds and sores form as a result of the slightest touch, rub or trauma.
