Unfortunately I missed the publication deadline for last month's What's On so this report covers our  activities for June and July. Our annual Rotary 'Kids Day Out' was held early in June when we arranged for a class from Oakfield Primary School in Barry to visit the Hollywood Bowl in Cardiff Bay. The children thoroughly enjoyed their ten-pin bowling experience – a first time for most of the class. A guest visitor in June was Bob Gibbons - the newly appointed Assistant Governor for our District who has the big task of visiting all 73 Rotary clubs in the area during his tenure. Bob was very pleased to  receive a report on our achievements last year and our programme for next year and in his response he was very complementary about the enthusiasm he felt within our small club.

Ann Miller took over the Presidency of the club at our Handover dinner held at Cottrell Park golf club on 2nd July. The venue was ideal but, unfortunately, this year the catering failed to meet expectations. We wish Ann and the other club officers a successful year in office.  I previously mentioned the two annual awards the club proposed to introduce for children in the village school. At the end of year school assembly

Phil  Morant and Quentin Lewis presented an engraved silver plate to Olivia North who received the Citizenship Award and a trowel plaque was awarded to Class 5 for the Best Garden Plot. The enthusiasm with which the children greeted the awards promises keen competition in future years. Thank you Quentin for your work in preparing the  awards
