Over 100 Rotarians and guests gathered at Darwin College, University of Kent on the evening of December 17th to celebrate the annual Rotary Christmas Party, organised this year by Rtn Wendy Jones
We all sat down to a delicious three-course supper, complete with the ever-popular flying balloons. A table raffle during the meal raised the sum of just over £600 for the President's Charities: a young people's project run by Porchlight and a Recreational Drug Awareness programme run by Turning Point at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
Ian Wright had written Birthday poems for all the members with birthdays in November and December, including Lord Carey.

Lord Carey gave the keynote speech and wished us all a peaceful and happy Christmas. After the speeches we were entertained by the local Salvation Army silver band who, after serenading us with their own offerings, accompanied us all in Carol singing to round off a very enjoyable evening. |
