President Ronnie concluded his year at his President's Day held 29 June at the Royal Belfast Golf Club. Always the highlight of the Club's year and this year's proved to continue that tradition being greatly enjoyed by all. 6 members played golf during the afternoon and 72 members and guests enjoyed chatting on the terrace and the newly refurbished bar areas.
22 members and partners thoroughly enjoyed an 'Grub Club' evening at Graze restaurant, Ballyhackamore, Wednesday 22 April. An excellent menu foretold a delicious 2 course meal savoured by all. Plenty of fellowship and chat completed this most successful evening. Our thanks to Eileen Kennedy for organising it.
We enjoyed a fantastic fellowship visit over the RIBI Conference weekend 09-13 April 2015 with 11 new and renewed friends from Kingston Rotary Club. These, usually biennial, visits began 22 years ago when the daughter of one of our members moved to Kingston and are always ones to look forward to full of good times and friendship and, as ever, this one certainly was.
The 90th RIBI Conference was held in Belfast over the weekend 10-12 April 2015 and the Club was well represented by members. The Conference programme was extensive and guest speakers all had a Rotary connection.
The Club is delighted to be able to donate over £1,000 to ShelterBox after the Club Jazz Brunch held Sunday 22 March when a splendid afternoon held in the excellent CIYMS Sports Complex was greatly enjoyed by over 60 members, family and friends. Funds are critically needed to enable them to continue to help people after disasters such as the recent storm in the Pacific island of Vanuatu leaving staggering quarter of a million people homeless and urgently needing help.
Membership of the Club is an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience and we are actively looking for new people to invite to join and breathe new vibrancy and ideas into the Club and take Rotary into its second century in Belfast.
