22 November 2018 Dingbats and quiz Roy Mortledge

There were 2 Community Grant presentations of £250 each to: 1. Kirsty Birch, a 14 year old who is going to a Girl Guide event in Hungary, next July for 10 days 2. Samuel Mark, a 17 year old who is at Brackenhurst studying Environmental and Wild Life. He is going to Cambodia in July to help build a school kitchen.  His Mum also spoke to say that Sam had been entered for the Young Environmentalist of the Year.

We also had a brief presentation from Katie Oldham (President elect of the new Rushcliffe RC) on the Nottingham Showcase Event (Conference), taking place in Nottingham in May 2019 with the theme of Modern Slavery.

In the absence of Victoria, who was now unable to speak on her “Brave the shave” charity event, Roy offered up another of his “Dingbats” quizzes, which proved to be an entertaining affair, as chaos reigned supreme, with people shouting out answers(often incorrect!) and Roy unable to resist offering helpful clues. Although a competition with a box of chocolates prize, there was some difficulty in deciding which group won, so he gave the chocs to Doug, who generously shared them out amongst everyone. Victoria had supplied Roy with a quiz which proved far too challenging for our members, but provided entertaining commentary. Another good evening of fellowship, well done Roy!                                                                                                                                    AR
