WHAT"S GOING ON HERE??? So you're probably asking yourself didn't I read this story 3 weeks ago in the Bulletin? .........well the answer is YES & NO Well it turns out there were some errors in the story that was run on 24th May which is why we are running this story again with the corrections. You will find the corrections highlighted below. To make sure you read to the end David is sponsoring a prize for some quiz questions......but you'll need to read to the end of this story to find them....Good Luck Dear Rotarians,
Having recently turned 60 I realised I have almost spent half my lifetime in Rotary having joined in 1991.
I married Simone in 1990 when Dylan was already 4 and he is now 35 and Madison wasn’t born until 1993. I started playing football with Torquay in 1990 and didn’t retire until 1998 and then took up Athletics and am now a grandfather twice over.
Generally I have had a great time at Rotary and it’s the members and friends of Rotary which make the Club what it is today and will try and refer to most current members in Rotary and the first would be caterers from Gilbert & Sullivan namely Rodney & Lorraine and what a team they make, and then there is Madam President Paul Kelly & the Dots singing if I could start today again with Maggie May another favourite hit with Slater ruling the waves at Bells, with Peter sticking to his bollen on the lawn under the old Birchall tree & Darrell brewin his own drinks and who refers to Lloyd James and James Lloyd?
Then there is the member who is always D’Snoozing and our youngest member Young Ben but who ages everyday.
Every Club would have their member who are referred to as Angry but I don’t think our Club has one or am I wrong?
Our President Elect Jan will be following in the steps of her late husband Rob who was the only Agent I knew who could unsell a house.
There is Fratboy Fratantaro and Garth Hammonica.
Don’t forget our twins Johnny Mac & Graeme McDonald and the name Richard can’t even spell so he is just Messyski.
If anyone needs a break you can always book with the travelling man Paul and then there is the legend you my not forget who was often confused with Cowboy Neale.
Then there is Howard’s Way and the Vet on the Hill with Dawson’s Creek rebooting this year on TV.
There is also the member who is always in a pickle and the Smith twins Ben & Bruce.
You can’t forget Dim Sims and Gaynor (back to) schols and then there is one of the engines making sure that the
Club stays on track who doesn’t Shedden her workload and thrives on more. If we need to deck the Halls we know where to go. If you want I can reed you a storey about a boy called Michael and it doesn't matter where you look you can see a plum on the ridge.
The purpose of this long rambling email is that I would like the Board to provide me with a leave of absence until January 2021.
I look forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
David Mitchell. THE QUIZ Now many of our older Members will be aware of a Nickname that David has acquired over his many years in Rotary and the "one liner" that goes with that nickname.
