Duffield Carnival<br />
Saturday 23rd June<br />
Several members <strong>of</strong> the club met up at Eyes meadow about 11.30 and spent the<br />
next hour erecting Nick Blurton’s gazebo in case it rained, which it didn’t! I think<br />
there is some pressure on the club now to invest in a fool pro<strong>of</strong> gazebo.<br />
We had a working Aquabox, a TV showing <strong>Rotary</strong> promotional videos and a<br />
comprehensive collection <strong>of</strong> leaflets, magazines and other material explaining what<br />
we do as Rotarians. There were some enquiries and two people showing considerable<br />
interest in coming along to a meeting to see what we get up to.<br />
The item that was the biggest attraction was the Golf Put and Pot game we had<br />
set up in front <strong>of</strong> the stall. Our seasoned golfers did not do very well and it was left<br />
to a schoolboy to get the highest score and collect the price.<br />
We finished up making a surplus <strong>of</strong> £40 on the golf game which will go to our<br />
Charity Fund and a few more local people know a bit more about <strong>Rotary</strong> International.<br />
A worthwhile afternoon!<br />

District Handover Lunch<br />
Sunday 1st July 2012<br />
There was a good turn out <strong>of</strong> club members to this special event at the Novotel,<br />
Long Eaton to support Dave and Gail Ashley as Dave takes up the position <strong>of</strong><br />
District Governor for 2012/13.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the last duties <strong>of</strong> the outgoing DG, Gordon McGlone, was to present the<br />
Trophies and Awards. We did not retain the <strong>Club</strong> Bulletin Trophy this time but it was<br />
good to hear all the projects and activities being carried out around the District<br />
getting recognition. Interestingly, many <strong>of</strong> the awards were to clubs whose projects<br />
had been described in the current edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> Review - so you read it there<br />
first!<br />
The actual handover is very similar to the Presidential Installation we will be<br />
holding on 9th July and the event closed with new DG Dave talking briefly about the<br />
theme for the year, Peace through Service, and the significance <strong>of</strong> the crane. We<br />
did get a mention with the latter and the production line we had set up at the Lion!<br />
