Hello from Sunny Portugal. We are in the middle of a busy time here. The Volta ao Algarve came through our small village twice in 4 days last week and tomorrow is Carneval with over 5000 people descending on the village for one of the best processions of floats in the Algarve. Lunch today was simple  |

Pretty amazing Chris. After two days of intensive planning held in the Nationwide House Conference Suite (a basement area with no windows), any time outside will be good. :-)
It’s been a busy week Rotary wise too. On Monday evening I supported a “Fill your plate for Polio” event run by the Rotary Club of Swindon Old Town. I managed to get two colleagues from Nationwide to join me and four more made donations that went towards raffle tickets. I just felt sorry for the person selling tickets when I asked her for 22 strips! A successful event all round as it raised £373.50 for Polio (event better with the double match from the Gates Foundation).
The Swindon Old Town Rotary Breakfast on Wednesday had the visit from the District Governor - delayed as her father passed away just before the original scheduled date. Tomorrow morning sees the launch of their Satellite Club - also a breakfast meeting, but on Thursday mornings in a community cafe run from a local primary school.

Did anything come of the request for a Zoom meeting with DG Bala? I do have a free Zoom account that would give us up to 40 minutes for a meeting. Any particular time or day? I would imagine we would have a challenge between ‘office hours’ or not... Would this be Bala’s ‘DG visit’?

It would be her Official Visit. Thanks for the offer of the Zoom account - I have never used it. I thought this was being arranged in Alcester. I will chase it up.
