On Thursday 14th April 2016 I received what must be the longest notice ever for an event. From the moment I received the email to the date of the event I have exactly 19 months, 3 days, 2 hours and 48 minutes to prepare for the Rotary Club of Northallerton’s Charter evening!

Even though I knew full well that no other club made contact about dates for my year in office starting July 2017; I still went to check my diary! How ridiculous was that? No one plans that far ahead do they? (Apart from RC of Northallerton.)

So, to the all important question, “is the the Rotary Club of Northallerton the most organised club in Rotary District 1040, or even RIBI?”

I wonder if Secretary Les Crelling has written his Christmas cards yet?!
