  1. Centenary Celebration at Peterborough Cathedral

Just a short reminder from DG David that we will be celebrating 100 years of Rotary service in D1070 next Sunday afternoon at Peterborough Cathedral.   Not only will the deputy Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire (Dr Jaspal Singh) be in attendance but also the Cathedral Choir will be singing for us.  The service will be led by Bishop John Holbrook, a member of the Wellingborough Rotary Club.  Advised attendance for such a key event is distinctly average at present so David would personally be very grateful if anyone who is, as yet, undecided, could make the effort to come along.  He looks forward to seeing you.  The service starts at 15.30 but we are asked to be in our seats by 15.20.
