23 Members, partners and friends spent an excellent evening 'at the dogs!', Friday 2 May.
Having enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal, with plenty of choice the racing of the evening began - and there was plenty with 11 "live" races at the Stadium and 12 shown on the TV's from Harold's Cross Stadium, Dublin. With the betting explained by the patient Tote staff we tried our luck but unfortunately for some Courtenays Icon or Courtenays Impact brought no joy; nor did any runners in the Rotary President Ken Morrison Stakes!
However great fun and fellowship was had by all added to by singing, the cake and bubbly to celebrate Lord Laird wife's birthday. Thank you Doris for organising such a fun night.
President Ken was delighted to welcome members and guests to the Charity Breakfast held on Tuesday 25 February at the Europa Hotel attended by Belfast Lord Mayor Honorary Member Councillor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, Honorary Member Dame Mary Peters, 150 business men & women, Rotarians and guests; Chief Constable Matt Baggot was the keynote speaker.
Held in aid of Club Rotary Charities the breakfast was registered as part of the "World's greatest meal in aid of End Polio Now" where Rotarians all over the world are making history by taking part in honour of Rotary's 109th anniversary and donating the funds raised for the fight against Polio and thus hoping to eradicate it forever by 2018.
The Club enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner Meeting at the Ulster Reform Club Monday night 16 December 2013.
67 members and guests, this year with some Inner Wheel members present, enjoyed this splendid evening of warm fellowship. Following an excellent buffet dinner the 20 ballot prizes were drawn by VP Claire Savage and then PP Maurice Brooks, ably supported by Hon. Treasurer Ivan McMinn, auctioned 5 lots: 2 Antler suitcases, Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, Luxury Hastings Hamper and Meal for 2 with wine at the Ulster Reform Club.
Thanks to the generosity of those there, the evening raised an fabulous £700 which will be split between ShelterBox and SOSBus.

Several Dublin Club members' Aston Martin cars were on display in the forecourt which were greatly admired before moving into lunch preceded by a Martini cocktail.
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.

Getting involved with Rotary could be the most important thing you ever do.
