The return to Scarborough for District 1270’s annual conference has proved to be very popular so much so attendance was the highest recorded for several years. The conference began with the RC Goole President, Robert Haigh, presenting of a new sash for the new District Sergeant at Arms, Graham Owen. District Governor Rolf had chosen Afric a to be the theme of his conference. Representatives of three Rotary projects – Freeplay Radios, Shelterbox and the Wheelchair Foundation, gave presentations with updates on how much both had achieved to date. Both had stands in the Hall of Friendship and in the mid morning coffee break the Wheelchair Foundation had received enough funds to purchase 17 wheelchairs! |
