The Treasurer presented the Club and Trust Fund Accounts for the Rotary year to date.

The main thrust of both the Membership Committee and the Public Image Committee is at the moment on “Together with Business” Day to be held on 21 November.
Planning for the Frost Fair and the Youth competitions is going well, although volunteers are still needed. Our Autumn Jumble Sale will take place this coming Saturday, 9 November, at Danbury Village Hall.
