Toasting Rotary Clubs

Toasting Rotary clubs from around the world!

At our regular meetings we toast the members of a Rotary club in another part of the world. The toast reminds us of the international nature of Rotary and that clubs like ours are active and doing good on every continent.

“From all of us here to all of you there. From beautiful Guernsey, a Rotarian Cheer!”

Brentwood	04/11/2020	Hello Simon, Thank you so much for your email and what an inspiring idea. We do have associations with other clubs around the World and their members have joined our regular weekly meetings on the odd occasion – especially now that we can only Zoom in to the meeting. It does have some silver linings. I will be informing the club at our meeting next Tuesday that I have received this email from you and will be raising the suggestion that we follow suit. Any idea that reminds us of our history and International connections is a good one in my mind. Thanks again and kind regards, John Stephenson PHF, Secretary.
Kloof, South Africa	04/11/2020	Hi Rod, What a coincidence. Last night at our Rotary Club of Kloof meeting, we raised a glass and drank a toast to your club. I told our members about your contact with SA and having visited our club, and a bit about your club and also how well SA Virologist Nicola Brink has done. I believe she has received an award recently. So thanks for the toast. Stay well. Warm regards, Reg Courtney, President.

Bristol Breakfast	06/01/2021	Many thanks for your recent email informing us that your Club had given a toast to our Club at your meeting on 6 January. We were delighted to be able to announce this at our meeting on 13 January and we duly reciprocated! We discovered from our membership that a number of them had flown out to Guernsey to visit you and that one of our founder (I think) members had moved to the island, establishing a connection between our two Clubs. Personally, I have very fond memories of Guernsey which I have visited on a number of occasions. First, as a boy scout, my group regularly had our summer camp at a farm at Pleinmont. The story there was that the farmer had been evacuated to our home town (Accrington) during the Second World War and was kind enough to offer us the privilege of camping on his land as a ‘thank you’. We had some truly memorable holidays walking the coast paths and playing in the gun towers in the dark. So much was I enchanted by Guernsey that I subsequently went with a group of sixth form friends and then, after I married, with my wife. Guernsey holds a very special place in my memory and I hope I shall have the opportunity to visit the island again. So, as this year’s President of Bristol Breakfast, I am especially glad to be able to send best wishes to you and your club. John Whittaker, President, Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club
		I was the pilot that flew a group of us to your club many years ago. The member who moved to Guernsey was Norman Dewey. I heard that he had been quite poorly and he must be elderly if he’s still alive. Also I know Nick Brown who is/was a member. Regards, Julian Telling.

Cheadle & District	07/04/2021	Many thanks for your message and greetings from Rotary in Cheadle & District. I must confess that I haven't been to Guernsey although some five years ago I was with a group of Rotary yachters and flyers who enjoyed a long weekend hosted by Rotarians in St Hellier, Jersey. Who knows - when we get back to be able to travel again we might make it to Guernsey? Best wishes to everyone in the Rotary Club of Guernsey. Yours in Rotary Service, Patrick Tyrrell, Secretary, Rotary Cheadle & District

It was a pleasure to read it out to our assembled Club at the conclusion of our meeting. Members were delighted to have received your kind and timely greetings. They have asked me to thank you sincerely for your thoughtful actions. It all makes the final toast 'Rotary and Peace the World over' all the more relevant. Thanks again. Clint Elliott.
