Smeaton's Tower is a most notable Eddystone Lighthouse on the Plymouth Hoe.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as,

if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was

dark. Dark would be without meaning. C. S. Lewis

Talking of planning there has also been

much going on behind the scenes with

establishing of a new Rotaract Club at

the University. A good core of

interested students was created

through the leadership programme at

the University in which a number of

Rotarians were originally involved.

Bruce helped them to build on this with

a stall at Freshers Fayre and they now

meet regularly once a week so that

hopefully it will be possible for them to

be chartered in the course of the next

few months. The prospective President

Luke will be joining us at District

Conference to learn a little more about

Rotary and looking even further ahead

he and a couple of others will be

assisting in presenting the Youth

Showcase at the end of October. I feel

particularly privileged to be President

during a year when it seems that a new

Rotaract Club will be formed bearing in

mind my original connections with

Rotaract which led to my eventually

coming in to Rotary!

On the sports side we had the Rhoda

Bernfeld Trophy ably organized by

Julian, with the winners Bruce and Jan

Royston-Smith being presented with

their prize at a very enjoyable supper at

the Chestnut Horse in Easton.

Last but not least still on sport and hot

off the Press we have what is now our

very own Marathon にthe Clarendon, in

the second year of our organization of

the event and with many lessons learnt

from last year it was even more smooth

running and profitable than last year.

Just about every member of the club

who was in the area today helped in

some way including a dozen members

of our new Rotaract Club and for the

first time three Rotarians were running

Simon Burge in a relay team, J-J in the

Half Marathon. I completed the Full and

raised £750 for Winchester Youth

Counseﾉﾉｷﾐｪぐ not sure if I will be doing

it again next year!!

Our next speaker David Leeks, a Trustee

of British Polio Fellowship, looked

forward にto World Polio Day when we

have a Street collection later in the

ﾏﾗﾐデｴ ;ﾐS デｴｷゲ デｷWS ｷﾐ ┘ｷデｴ ‘ﾗデ;ヴ┞げゲ own programme for the eradication of

Polio worldwide. It was useful to have

an insight into what having Polio

actually means in terms of its effect on

the survivors.

Finally, we had an Open Meeting which

was purely social although again Julian

helped us to look forward with his

presentation on Membership which he

will give at the District Conference, but

also reminded us exactly how far we

had come in the Club in broadening our

horizons and making our Rotary Club

not only appealing for others to join but

also more productive and active than

many others.

This last month we have been sorry

to see the departure of Miles Lemon

who has moved out of the area but

is not lost to Rotary as he plans to

join another Club. Miles will best be

remembered for his years as Trust

Fund Treasurer which he carried out

in a relevant and straightforward

way so we could all understand!

Although there have not been many

formal events September seems to

さﾉﾗﾗﾆｷﾐｪ aﾗヴ┘;ヴSざぁ にas can be seen

elsewhere in the Bulletin.

We had three evening Meetings. At

the first we were privileged to have

our very own member John Eade,

enlighten us as to what it means to

be District Governor and give us a

little taste of the interesting things

that are in store for us at District

Conference later in the month.

We were also able to illustrate to

District and to the wider community

in Winchester the good work that

has been done in our area with the

presentation by John of the Rotary

Community Awards for the work

done with dementia sufferers by

Maria & Edwin Mundy and also the

late Sue Knight whose husband John

(whose father it transpires had been

President of Winchester Rotary 50

years ago!) collected the award on

her behalf.

This looked forward in that

Winchester Rotary has picked up on

the work of these very dedicated

people with the continuation of the

Reminiscence Coffee Mornings at

Sunrise every month.

We were also privileged to have Geri

Parby (REPoD) sum up at that

Meeting about the work Rotary was

doing nationally to tackle this very

real problem. Nick Bell

This last month we had the opportunity

to experience at first hand the Bandey

Hefler exchange when a group of

Rotarians came from the U.S. to the UK

and stayed for three or four nights with

local Rotarians in the District and were

shown the local places of interest,

history and introduced to the culture.

Jim and Janette Hull have been

involved for a number of years visiting

the U.S themselves and it was a

pleasure to welcome their guests John

and Pat Souza to one of our evening

Meetings. Thanks to Jim for

participating in the project and bringing

ｷデ デﾗ デｴW Cﾉ┌Hげゲ ;デデWﾐデｷﾗﾐが Hヴﾗ;SWﾐｷﾐｪ our exposure to different cultures and

With the largest single event in the

Winchester Rotary calendar just

over yesterday, I wanted, on behalf

of the Clarendon Marathon

Committee, to thank everyone who

has been involved this year for their

support.

JJ Heath-Caldwell, Fiona and their

enthusiastic team have worked

tirelessly to put everything together

over the last 12 months and with

the support of over 230 volunteers

on the day, the 900 or so runners

taking part on Sunday will be

cheered and encouraged along the

route.

A great race programme was

designed and organised by Steve

Cross and David Farthing.

As well as those members who have

offered their time on Sunday, the

following charities and groups are

providing volunteers and will all

benefit directly from a donation

after the event:

Clarendon Marathon Sunday 6 October

As well as volunteers from the new

Rotaract Club, we also have 20 other

volunteers from the University

joining us for the day.

Thank you again for your support

and we look back on a safe and

successful event.

Congratulations to President Nick

who ran the full Marathon, JJ Heath-

Caldwell who ran the half marathon

and Simon Burge who ran the last

quarter of a team relay.

Thanks to Rob Carter who cycled the

course ahead of the field.

Much appreciation to the St John

Ambulance for their expertise and

care at all throughout the day.

A huge tribute to all the Marshalls

and helpers. A full report will

On Monday 16 September the

Lunch Meeting was chaired by Gill

There was no speaker on that day,

which would be the usual pattern.

For forthcoming meetings visit the

website and page 15 of this edition

of the Bulletin.

John Berrington (Mapperly & Arnold)

Richard Chisnell (Chairman of Friends

David outlined poliomyelitis and

PSP. There was an extraordinary link

between David and Gill Russell,

when they were young, as they

shared the same consultant in

hospital, without realising it. On

Saturday 26 October, in Winchester,

on End Polio Day, the BPF will have

their awareness campaign.

At the Luncheon Meetings it is

hoped that a visiting speaker might

entertain for a brief moment or two.

Richard Chisnell did not disappoint

on this occasion as he spoke about

St. Cross and Almshouse of Noble

Poverty a medieval almshouse.

Amazingly, it is the oldest charitable

institution in the United Kingdom.

It was a very moving topic on Post

Polio Syndrome from David Leeks.

He is a Trustee and former National

Chairman of the British Polio

Fellowship. It is estimated that there

are as many as 120,000 people in the

UK who survived polio and now we

know that new polio-related

symptoms can occur later in life.

helping with our hosting of Pat

Leominster, USA:

Winchester Mayor Ernie Jeffs

and Mayoress Barbara, Barry

Governor John Eade and our

The Guardian added:

さShe was recognised not only by

for her deep understanding of the

effects of brain diseases such as

Alzheimer's, and for her extraordinary

empathy with those involved.ざ

(13 September 2012)

Maria and Edwin Mundy, were very

much present and were duly

congratulated:

さMaria has also contributed greatly to

the work of the Reminiscence Group

and was deserving of praise and

recognition for extending the

memory cafe concept beyond Sunrise

and into the wider community.

Edwin has been constantly by her side

and has supported her despite

suffering from vascular dementia

himself. He has also, remarkably,

spoken publicly about what it was like

to suffer from the disease.

Warm tributes were paid to Miles

Lemon (see left) who attended his last

meeting before he moves to Kent. He

was an active Member since he joined

in 2006 and a much valued Club

Treasurer for many years. His suave

power-point presentations at the

AGMs won many plaudits. We wish

him every good fortune in the future.

Roger Sales and Miles Lemon winning

the matching smart attire award.

At this meeting the Rotary

Community Service Award was

presented to three very special

people. Mike Knight who received the

award on behalf of his late wife Sue.

Simon Burge, Service Director

explained the particular

circumstances of the awards.

Sue Knight's personal connection with

the dementia sufferers and their

families had most impressed all who

met her.

She knew them individually and

understood their needs. She

encouraged them to come to

meetings and worked tirelessly to

support them.

To me she epitomised service above

self and continued to help even after

she became unwell, leading, sadly, to

her death from cancer last year.ざ

She initiated a monthly lunch club at

which people with dementia and their

carers could mingle with others

without the embarrassment.

Guests from Massachusetts

Also: Keith Woodward, Colin Cook,

John Wilkinson, Richard Chisnell and

James Larcombe.

John and Pat were hosted by the

Rotary Clubs of Winchester, Woking

District, Anton & Ewell.

The benefits of the exchange are the

sharing of Rotary ideas and

fellowship in our two countries.

as well as a first class & amusing

Post Horn Gallop solo. The

entertainment ended with the Last

Post and the lowering of the flag,

beautifully framed by the last rays

of the setting sun.

It was an excellent evening and the

attendance by so many Rotarians

reflects the close links that have

been established with the Garrison

and the place which Winchester

Rotary occupies at the centre of the

community.

Colin Cook, who hosted a number

of Garrison visitors on City tours

over the course of the year, was

present with Polly, as were two of

ﾗ┌ヴ さCｷ┗ｷIざ ‘ﾗデ;ヴｷ;ﾐゲが - Deputy

Mayor, Eileen Berry, and County

Councillor Jackie Porter, who for

some reason that the rest of us

never worked out, was the chosen

partner of Deputy Lieutenant

Brigadier David Harrison and got to

sit in the exclusive seats for the

Sunset Ceremony!

President Nick & Graham,

accompanied by John and Mary

Sweeting, decided to arrive in style

in the Rolls, and caused quite a stir;

Nick has never had so many

salutes!

An eclectic mix of about 70 of the

It is a rare privilege to have a visit
