Hello everyone and a huge thank you to you all for your participation and assistance last weekend with the Book Fair, Nightjar Market Parking and Cadel Evans Road Race marshalling.
I don’t have final financial details fro these events, but know these were very profitable ventures for the Club.
A special thank you and congratulations for all your work to Rhonda Anchen, Gail Birchell and the Book Fair committee. I think it is safe to say the Book Fair is likely to be an annual fixture on our calendar. Our aim, or is it challenge, is to become self-sufficient in books, though this requires both collections through the year and storage space.
Congratulations also to Brian Mynott and your team involved in parking. I was pleased to help out for a short time on Thursday and gained an insight into what ‘Nightjar Market Parking’ actually means. This year has been a particularly busy one and I am sure will also continue next year. Well done.
Motor Show preparations now almost done
We now move to our major individual fund raising event for the year – the Motor Show on Sunday 12 February 2017.
Preparations and planning are now almost complete and you should have received an email with details of your allocated tasks. Please contact Vernon or Amanda immediately if you are unable to carry out any allocated duties so an alternative can be put in place.
Our meeting on Monday will focus on these preparations for the Motor Show.
Adoption of the Rotary Club of Torquay Child Protection Standard
At our last board meeting on 12 December, 2016, the Board adopted the Rotary Club of Torquay Child Protection Standard as policy. This standard contains the Code of Conduct, which you each must accept. As Monday is our first formal meeting since 12 December, we will ask you also to adopt the policy.
You have received an email from Peter Bollen, our Child Protection Officer, containing this document and asking that you sign the code of conduct and return it to Peter. If you have questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch or to raise them on Monday. The document is also now in Clubrunner
