You’ve been flanned!
In Donna Wallbank’s own words: “As a participant in the National Conference,it was my task to introduce Chris Tarrant to the stage on the Sunday Morning. “To that end showing that Rotary is serious about what it achieves had been realised over the week- end, but importantly to us all, Rotary should also be enjoyable - so to give everyone an insight into the fun times Rotary gives each of us in the opportunities to enjoy while giving valuable service, I asked Chris to Flan me…why? Well the Phantom Flan Thrower of Tiswas fame wasn’t there so Chris Tarrant had to do! – And it seemed a funny idea on Saturday Night!
“I thought it a good introduction to Chris and for me to re-live being a 10 year old [which I was
when Tiswas started] and didn’t all 10 year olds want to be on the programme and enjoy the fun? I did, rather than go food shopping with my Mum!
“He was there, so was I, the opportunity presented itself and I had fun being flanned! [I think!] “So in my simplistic view of what I believe, ‘the more you put into your Rotary service the more you benefit yourself in feeling good about what you do, and in the actual doing good in your com- munity, be that Nationally or Internationally and if as a by-product a few personal dreams come true, then even more reason to go and do more while enjoying the Rotary service opportunities. Rotary is after-all something we give our ‘free’ time for and don’t we when we have free time enjoy ourselves?” Right, Donna, every inch the National President of RIBI Nominee. Below, Chris wonders if he has done the right thing. Below right, proving he still remembers how to flan.
Gardens open for Tenovus appeal
Cowbridge Rotary is opening six gardens in support of the Tenovus “Closer to Home” appeal in May. The Closer to Home appeal is to raise £1m towards a state of the art Mobile Support Unit.
These units (pictured) are set up in local car parks, super- markets and community venues where patients can park. A course of chemotherapy can take anything from six weeks to six months and sometimes longer.
As part of their support, Cowbridge Rotary are opening six gardens between 12.00 and 5.00 pm on Sunday 6th
May.
The varied gardens are Ty Canol, Maendy, with a wonderful use of a quarry face, Ashby House, Maendy, a conversion of a graveyard, Thira Cottage, Cowbridge, a very pretty and interesting use of space, St Quintins Cottage, Llanblethian, a Ralph Hancock designed garden, Gadlys Farm House Llanmaes, colourful Welsh cottage garden and Old Froglands, Llanmaes, a woodland and wetland garden. Entry is £5 covering all gardens with all proceeds to Tenovus. Cowbridge Rotary would appreciate support for this excellent cause by taking the opportunity to see a variety of gardens in the area.
