Wednesday morning was not our usual breakfast meeting!
We were honoured to host the Prizegiving for our fantastic Dragonboat Festival, which we held back in June.
We had a full house and a lot of fun!
As a Rotary Club, we are fortunate enough to have the support of many people and we’d like to thank especially the Bristol Lord Mayor and the Lord Lieutenant Peaches Golding, who continue to show up for us and we are extremely grateful.
Our Dragonboat Winners were Burgess Salmon, Best Fancy Dress went to Business Beats Cancer and our top fundraisers were Whats on Bristol, all of whom celebrated the morning with us and we’re grateful to them for getting up so early to be with us!
We had a few words from our District Governor Lucy Thornton, our President Willem Pietersen, our President Elect Mike Kain, and Tony Hughes, our membership lead, all of it being seamlessly run by Derrick Royall, who ably manages all the Dragonboat arrangements.
And we won’t forget the continued support we have from our Past District Governor Anne Bartholomew, who presented our Immediate Past President Elaine Milne with a certificate of appreciation for our own club to recognise the financial support we have given to the End Polio Now campaign.
We are already in the planning for Dragonboat 2027, to be held on 27th June 2027, so get your entries in early for what promises to be a fantastic day!
