RIBI President Allan Jagger came to Hull on Monday 16 July to meet with Rotary 1270 District Governor John and Past District Governor Rolf and Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Doncaster St Georges, Rotherham, Rotherham Sitwell and Hull Paragon to discuss how RIBI can assist clubs in providing support to the recent flood victims across the whole district.  Representatives of the Salvation Army were also in attendance.

Discussions focused on the recently created Flood Trust Fund together with the types of aid that Rotarians could be involved in.  Full details will be circulated to all Rotary Clubs as soon as practically possible.  It was the concensus of opinion around the table that aid from Rotary Clubs could be needed for some time and therefore short, medium and long term support will be required.

Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Howden braved almost a full day of constant rain at the Howden Show on Sunday 15 July.  They were on duty collecting entrance fees at the South Gate.

The annual Agricultural Show had returned to The Ashes for the first time for the past few years under new a new Committee - one of Howden's newest members Russ, is one of them.

Despite the wet weather the show was well attended by both visitors and exhibitors. 

As the Rotary Club of Howden had been one of the first to have a presentation on the Hull Freedom Trail, they were also the first to request the vehicle at the Show when the District had successfully raised the sponsorship funds.

It had pride of place at the South Gate, accompanied by new Rotary Club of Howden signage and Rotary wheels.  Once again it attracted the attention of the local press proving that Rotary District 1270's sponsorship of this humanitarian project is certainly raising the image and profile of Rotary in District 1270.
