Please Sir, Can I Have Some More Pizza

It's a feast of photos this week as we look back onto the pizza evening at Parkview Golf Club on Thursday night. It was a happy festive occasion with some great Rotary fellowship, the glue that holds a club together. We're not just there because we want to do good in the world, but also because we enjoy each other's company.

At the same time New Dawn is building up a relationship with the Parkview club that should stand us in good stead going forward. We just have to get them to order more pizza ingredients.

Nevertheless, most people - there were almost an equal number of members and guests, totalling almost 50 people - enjoyed the evening and it's definitely something we could do again.

President Ian Widdop also used the occasion to hand out RLI certificates to members who attended the Rotary Leadership Institute courses late last year and at the same time Joan Sainsbury has announced that there will be another session over two days on Saturday and Sunday 7th and 8th May at Twickenham Guest House.

This is a great way to get to know Rotary more intimately and the course will only cost participants R50 per day, so get your name on the list.

It was a case of Please Sir, can I have some more (pizza) as the kitchen at Parkview ran out of topping ingredients a bit too soon, mainly because of the much better than expected turnout. Next time we'll be sure to not make the same mistake.

This week: It's a business meeting this week under the auspices of Gavin Atkins, the interim president for April. Gavin will also be talking about the Google Workspace and how, in practical terms, we're going to get members accustomed to using it.
