His chosen charities are the Hospice,Sea Cadets and the John Nidd Diabetic Fund.Mike informed us of the fixed  events  such as  charter ,garden party  and  the fifth Wednesdays.

As the Convenors were away their  reports were read out  ie Club service/membership and international .For the latter we were told that the Nohari (India) project was completed and that we would be working to provide a source of drinking water in Tanzania .

The Assistant District Governor ,in his reply,noted our projects for the future.He said that their club was interested in helping the refugees  from Syria by providing a container to act as a classroom,may be we would work together on that issue?
