Who’s the Fairy then ?


THE PRESIDENTIAL CROSS CHAT XRAY STEVE

As I sit here and compose this report I imaging that our Club members will,

by now, be at home with their feet up and a glass of something refreshing in

their hand trying to relax after Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. I

also sincerely hope that they are patting themselves on the back and saying

– “WOW – what an incredible Town Fair!!!!”

All I have heard in the very brief time span since the Fair wrapped up last

night are praise and compliments on every aspect of the Fair.

To Rod Mackenzie and the Town Fair Convening Committee and to every

Rotarian and volunteer who took part in the running of the Town Fair a

very heartfelt thank you for a truly amazing effort to achieve amazing

results.

Just goes to show what a small band of dedicated people can achieve. The

big question now is how can we make it better next year??????

A big reminder - Sunday 9th
