At our last meeting of the Rotary year (29th June), President Clarissa handed over the club chain of office to next year's President, Sue Hoey. Congratulations Sue and thank you to Clarissa for leading the club over the past year.

Monday the 18th May was a special meeting. Two of our members, Ken Neame and John Blackford joined our club 50 years ago and tonight we celebrated their rather special commitment to our club and Rotary International. We were joined by our District Governor, Penny Spiller, who presented their long service awards and both John and Ken provided us with anecdotes from their 50 years in our club. This rather special evening was shared with some of our past members, partners and our club President, Clarissa Hanna.

Congratulations to Ken and John for a very special achievement.

Last weekend (25th April) we were visited by two of our 'Contact Clubs' from Harderwijk in Holland and Soest-Lippstadt in Germany. Every year we catch up with our European friends and this year it was their turn to visit us in Faversham. The weekend started on Friday evening with a game of Bat & Trap at the Market Inn, Faversham, followed by a 'behind-the-scenes' visit to Macknade Farm Shop on Saturday morning. Saturday evening we celebrated our annual President's Gala Dinner at Faversham Golf Club where we were entertained by Cameo Opera. On Sunday morning we all gathered at Creek Creative for coffee and cake before our visitors departed for the long journey home. It was great to catch up with old friends and welcome new friends.
