<< Bodmin Rotarian - Award from The Lions >>
Congratulations to Colin again, from Bodmin Lions on his epic journey from
John-O-Groats to Lands End.
Members of Bodmin Rotary Club have been busy helping local voluntary groups keep the town tidy and attractive. This Council owned flower bed is outside the Westberry Hotel, our meeting place every Wednesday evening, has been adopted by the club. See below - Our gardening team.
BODMIN ROTARIANS HELP DISABLED LADY
A plea was received from the full time carers of 'Carol', who was disabled from a very young age, she lives in a very small flat and paints by holding a brush in her mouth. Help was required in providing storage shelves for Art equipment etc. as everything at the moment is kept in containers and boxes on the floor, which severely restricts wheelchair movement around the flat.
Rotarian Peter Old quickly came up with the offer of some adjustable wall shelving and Rotarian Neil Carter offered to apply his skills in fixing them to the wall.
Peter and Neil went to the property and completed the job without delay; as can be seen in the photo below, expertly fitted, making good use of the wall space available and leaving much needed floor space free.

Bodmin Rotarians - Ambassadors Extraordinaire.
A group of four members from Bodmin Rotary Club - Peter Old, Peter Bray, Allan Foad and Peter Ford recently visited three Rotary Clubs in one day, all in different countries. Breakfast was in Wales (Cardiff Club), Lunch was in England (Clifton Bristol Club) and Drinks were in Ireland (Dublin Central Club) The challenge, the journey and the three clubs was an exciting experience and all three clubs were very different.
The Cardiff Club met for breakfast at 7.30 at the Cardiff Golf Club – the group were welcomed by the No1 President ( Three Presidents for the year each doing 4 months) and joined 24 members for breakfast and their meeting consisting of 50% women. The speaker was promoting the Cardiff City Hospice.
The Clifton Club, Bristol met at the Clifton Tennis Club for Lunch, 34 members were attending, but they have no lady members. Following lunch the speaker, head of a local Junior School gave a talk about his schools involvement in supporting an African School.
A member of Clifton Club then provided a taxi for the group to the airport. The aim, on arriving at Dublin airport at 5.30pm, was then by taxi, to get to the Dublin Central Club by 6.30pm for the start of their meeting. The flight being approx.. 30mins late meant that we arrived at the club at 6.45pm. We were welcomed and offered a seat and a glass of Water or Wine.
Dublin Central Club was, to say the least, different ! They meet in an elegant room in the prestigious Hibernian Private Club in St. Stephens Square, Central Dublin. The club with approx.. 24 members, but only 11 were at the meeting were sitting around a central table with only a drink of wine or water, no meal is partaken – the hour long meeting is only to discuss Rotary business. Much of this meeting was taken in introductions by them and us. I was found that most of their members originate from many different parts of the world, Argentina, Hungary, Croatia, Canada, Spain, Turkey…. Their President was away so the Secretary took the meeting of approx.. 50% Ladies. One member Monica Robertson was the DG of Ireland (North & South) comprising approx.. 100 clubs.
Some ways that we each raise funds was discussed, it was evident that Dublin were far more cash rich than Bodmin. (A Valentines Charity Ball with 350 attending raised over £20,000 for charity) The meeting was conducted very informally and only lasted the hour.
Having fulfilled their challenge of 3 countries in one day the group used the following day to explore Dublin and partake in some fine Jameson Whiskey and Guinness.
