 The last time I attended the National Final of the Youth Speaks Competition, which was held in Warwick in April, 2003, Hornsea School had won and their main speaker, Jonathan Hardman, is now President of the Glasgow University Students Union.
This year, Hull Collegiate, or Tranby to you and me, had won the Yeadon Trophy in the senior competition at Hull University and, in winning the regional final at Nottingham, had earned the right to a place in the National Final in Loughborough. |

60's revisited in deepest East Yorkshire |
|
Sunday, 15 April 2007 |
|
 It was just as if the tardis had landed in deepest East Yorkshire one Saturday in April when Rotarians and their partners met for dinner.
The 1960's theme produced some stunning attire from mini-skirts, boots and vidal sasson hairstyles to flower power hippies and a large number of men in large very dark sunglasses! Music from the Beatles and the Beachboys  greeted guests whilst the host served Babycham in vintage glasses to the ladies. Dinner commenced with Prawn Cocktail, followed by Coq au Vin and Blackforest Gateau and finished with cheese and biscuits all cooked and served by the President's and Secretary's wives. The evening concluded with a 60's quiz, which proved to be a source of pleasant memories for some and something akin to Brain of Britain to those who were not born or were far too young to remember anything. All guests paid the full going rate for the dining out with  entertainment which was a tremendous success - all proceeds raised going to the Presidents Charity, Cancer Research. Do you recognise any of the guests? |

First Meeting of Hull Rotaract Club |

Sunday, 11 March 2007 |
 It is with great pleasure that we report on the founding of the above Club based at the University of Hull and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hull through President David Westwood. The inaugural meeting has taken place and a second meeting was held on Friday 9th March when 10 prospective members were present along with the District Rotaract President, Rob Davidson; the Rotary District Chairman Martin Robinson, and the Rotary ADG for the North Group, Robin Mason. The idea of this club has come from a Student at Hull University who was a Rotaractor in her home country of Guyana. She has been elected President of the new club and othr officers have been elected. The Club is going to meet the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month at 6.30pm at the Pearson Park Hotel, Hull and they are already discussing what projects they can get involved in both locally and internationally. It is excellent news to hear of a new Club and we wish them well in all they do. |
