The Club was delighted to attend the District Conference held in the Royal Court Hotel Friday-Sunday 26-28 September with 5 members joining President Heather. Extremely well organised by the Ballymoney Club it was well very attended and an excellent weekend of the usual formal and informal gatherings. Excellent speakers covered a most interesting and wide range of topics blending Rotary and non - Rotary themes, humorous and serious.
PE Heather and Christopher, PP Brian Clements, PP Maurice and Hillary and Hon. Sec David and Jenny had a most enjoyable, if long, day of fellowship and culture in Dublin with 15 members of the Rotary clubs of Lisburn and Newry. Travelling by train at 8.00am the group made their way by foot and taxi to the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street which specialises in Irish and other antiquities dating from the Stone Age to the Late Middle Ages, medieval metalwork and Viking artefacts.
President Ken was delighted to welcome 33 members and guests to his President’s Day held at the Royal Belfast Golf Club, Monday 23 June. Always an outstanding event in the Club calendar, this year was no exception, with those in attendance thoroughly enjoying the relaxed and sociable evening.
Much fun and laughter was had, delicious food, wine and soft drinks enjoyed, at the Club Gathering, Sunday 09 June held in a member's home. The weather although not sunny was kind and it was possible to mingle outside before eating. Some hardy folk even stayed outside!
Thanks are extended to all involved and to those who attended, who made it such a success.
47 Club members and guests had another most enjoyable social evening at the Linen Lounge, Belfast Metropolitan College Thursday 27 February. A glass of complimentary Prosecco was followed by a delicious 4 course meal, beautifully presented and served with aplomb and a smile. It is wonderful to experience what these young people can do.
Plenty of fellowship and chat completed this most successful and convivial event. Many thanks are extended to the supervisors and the students and to Past President Alan Rundle for organising the evening.
Membership of the Club is an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience and we are actively looking for new people to invite to join and breathe new vibrancy and ideas into the Club and take Rotary into its second century in Belfast.
