News update
Last Tuesday just over 20 of us met
at Pepe Sale when we heard an inspiring talk from Martin Butler of the Royal
Berks Charity. Our Family Officer, Frank Parkinson, had been speaking by phone
to Morvyn Hayes and told us that sadly Morvyn's surgery had been unsuccessful
and that it was too risky for him to have another operation, and so his
medication was being changed instead. Jack Holt told us he had spoken to Graham
Broadhurst who was much better and would welcome short phone calls,
although it was probably best to text Graham first to make sure it was
convenient. Jack had also spoken to Richard Stone who, unfortunately, was not
feeling so well.
Members present approved £415 to be
spent on repairs by the YMCA team to the bench originally put up by the old
Rotary Club of Caversham. President Simon urged members who had not already
done so to reply to Chris Nicholls concerning our Centenary. Roger Butler, on
behalf of Club Services, noted that Eric Moyse wished to give up as Membership
Secretary. Thanks were expressed to Eric for all his hard work and Roger asked
for a volunteer to become Membership Secretary from July. Roger also announce
that Alan Nicholsby would shortly be moving to Bristol, so we needed someone to
follow him in looking asfter the Club website and laising with the Pepe Sale
restauarant about numbers for meals. We are also grateful to Alan for all he
has done. Roger also mention ed that some of our members would be attending the
Breakfast meeting of the Matins Club on June 1st and that if anyone else wished
to go , they should let him know.
Best wishes,
Alan Haine
