We're reporting a successful first day at the Lincolnshire Show!

The Comms Team were well supported by Rotarians from the District from those who came and spent time on the stand to those who came and said hello, including some from the north bank!

Stuart Leyland from Barton upon Humber Rotary Club enthralled a never ending audience with his demonstrations of the Life Straw whilst Stuart Green from Brigg Rotary Club and Rob Davison from Scunthorpe and Brigg Rotaract delighted anyone from 10 plus who wanted to sit in the rally car.

Hull Paragon Rotary have now officially formalized twinning with Rotary Club of Lille Vauban on 20^th May 2006. During the excellent twinning weekend it soon became apparent that the 2 Clubs have a great deal in common, and not just in terms of being mixed clubs, but also with the same number of members! Prior to the formal twinning both Clubs had visited each other in both May and September of 2005.

9 Hull Paragon Rotarians visited Lille for the twinning weekend 19^th-21^st May - the President, President Elect, Vice President, and Secretary, as well as an honorary member, who also acted superbly as a French translator.

A superb programme was planned with outstanding hospitality and a very hard act to follow; they set a very high standard – from hospitality at President Brigitte’s home to formal twinning dinner with a large banquet style meal at the Museum of Mandarine Napoleon - a local orange liqueur as well as visiting a fort and the local Sunday market.
