6th May 2021 Zoom Meeting – Our 31st Charter Celebration

David Valentine was our Master of Ceremonies for the evening, giving him Carte Blanche to insult anyone he could get away with and there were 26 members present plus some spouses, District Governor and entertainer Steve Price. (Not sure who is writing his scripts these days, but he could donate them to the “corn exchange” and stick to Pantomime and his thespian skills at the East Bridgford Drama Group!)

The normal protocols were observed with President Derek welcoming all and informing us that there would be two Paul Harris Fellowships awarded, but not appropriate for this evening’s Zoom format but awaiting face to face situation, hopefully very soon.  Mike Twells delivering an appropriate grace, then the Loyal Toast. The President Elect Gordon Marsh gave a short proposal to Rotary International, outlining some of the contributions Club had made.

Dr. Jill Bethell MBE (DG) then responded with a toast to the Vale of Belvoir Rotary Club, again with warm comments about the various contributions our Club had made over the last 30 years.  President Derek responded and toasted our visitors and guests.

The ‘Magical entertainment then followed with a very professional and humorous performance from Steve Price, who explained that he had always wanted to be a magician from his early boyhood days, developing his skills over the years and now performing on cruise ships among other venues.  Various amazing tricks followed, involving the audience and including card tricks with huge cards…very impressive!

President Derek proposing a Vote of Thanks for Steve’s very informative and beautifully illustrated performance, echoed with a well supported with ‘visual applause’                       AR
