RIBI President Peter Davey visited the Club

Thu, Sep 17th 2015 at 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

We looked forward to meeting the RIBI President ...


Rotary GB&I President Peter Davey and his wife Sandra visited the District on Wednesday September 16th and Thursday September 17th 2015.   And here in Durham we welcomed them both, together with District Governor Terry Long and his wife Marion to our regular weekly meeting.

Peter is a member of the Rotary Club of Monmouth in District 1100 and the text below has been taken from the District 1100 website - with thanks ...

As a member of Rotary since 1988, Peter has fulfilled a number of high profile roles including Training Leader at two international assemblies in San Diego, RI President Representative at three district conferences and District Governor of District 1100 in 2007/08.email form belo

Peter believes that Rotarians make a huge difference to those in need, and his priority as President will be to ensure that clubs receive the support and encouragement required to become an even stronger, more vibrant group delivering even more humanitarian service and enhancing the wider public image.

Peter comments: “Being a Rotarian brings enjoyment, fulfilment and opportunities for personal development to so many people. An important aim for my Presidential year will be to establish the most effective relationships between the clubs, districts and Rotary so that we can build on our combined strengths and tackle our weaknesses to ensure that we are strong for future generations.

“I’m looking forward to the year ahead, and we have a great team of District Governors to help us achieve all the objectives that we have set out for the year. I hope to see clubs and members flourish, while welcoming new members by giving them the opportunity to learn all about what Rotary has to offer.”

Note that Peter's wi/fe Sandra is also a - very active - member of the Monmouth Club and is their current President Nominee.
