District Ten Pin Bowling |
Unfortunately Peter Thorpe has had a health problem that few people knew about and as a result he has not been able to complete the final few rounds of the District's Ten Pin Bowling Competition for 2008/09. It is now too late to do anything and therefore it will not be completed.
With the help of Rotarian John Wright of the Wirksworth Club, the 2009/10 competition will start in September.

Mid-summer BBQ |
The Rotary Club of Clay Cross are Hosting a Charity evening supporting Prostate Cancer and Ashgate Hospice in the form of a Mid-summer BBQ. The invitation is to all clubs in District 1220, Rotary and Inner Wheel, and all their friends.
We would like this to be a winner as those of us who met the Prostate Cancer team at Scarborough were so impressed by the efforts they put in to make us aware of potential problems, which can get out of hand if not addressed quickly, that we decided to arrange this event to help this worthy cause.
All we ask you to do is put the date in your diary, come along and enjoy. Food available from 7pm, admission £12.50. Friday 31st July 2009, Telmere Lodge, Hasland, Chesterfield.Click here for further details. |

Important Safety Advice |
This site publishes a lot of content in Adobe Acrobat form - so called "PDF" files. Recently, Adobe has fixed a serious security weakness in Acrobat reader. Everyone is encouraged to upgrade their reader to the latest version at get.adobe.com/reader/.
Additionally, millions of Windows systems have been infected with a virus called "Conficker". This exploits holes in the Windows Operating system, that had been fixed back in November, but where the computer owners had ommited to update their systems. It is vital that everyone configures their systems to recieve updates from Microsoft and allows these to run and install on a regular basis. Further information from Microsoft. |
