After 18 very happy years and memories, December sadly saw our last meeting at the always outstanding Fleur de Lys. We also met for a Christmas lunch at Rushmore Golf Club and finally snapped a handover photo of our President.

We got a taste of medieval battle this month as speaker Dan Evans discussed the battle of Agincourt. We also held our usual business meeting and look at an interesting piece from this month’s Rotary Magazine.

October saw us welcome a new member, we were regaled with stories from the sea and we also had a cheeky Italian. In addition, to make up for the lack of Twinning these past two years, we look back at the last visit from our Dutch friends.

This month we embraced the fresh air as we met for a walk around Wardour Castle, and we were able to hold our Charity Golf day (with a bumper number of teams taking part!). Out of the elements, we gathered for our usual meetings at the fleur.

It was another quiet month of Zoom meetings but we are raring to get going when restriction are eased. We are very excited that the North Dorset Cycle Ride and Gold Hill Fair are now not far away.

March

It has been a most turbulent 12 months. Last year, March saw the decisions to cancel meetings and events. This March, whilst all online, we have spent the month planning for what is hopefully a more normal year.

Since lockdown was back in force, we started 2021 with another quiet month. We held 2 zoom meetings this month and the highlight was welcoming a new member to our ranks.
