Phil Hibbard, a Strategic Accounts Manager, is the latest
new member to be welcomed by the Rotary Club of Hucknall on Tuesday 22nd
August. Phil is the second new Rotarian
to be inducted in a number of weeks and the club look forward to many more
joining. If you are interested in Rotary
or joining Rotary, please contact our membership co-ordinator Ivan Manning on 0115
955 9817 or contact the club via Twitter or Facebook @HucknallRC.
Several club sporting events had taken place through the
month and members Stuart Whitehead and Glen Hennessey were acknowledged for
their victories in the Lawn Bowls and Par 3 Golf competitions respectively.
Stuart was the latest recipient of the Mark Brinklow
Memorial Rosebowl and Glen received a new Golf Trophy which had been kindly
donated to the Club.
At the same meeting, members were addressed by Mr.Doug Hird,
Training Manager of Nottingham and District Citizens Advice Bureau. Mr HIrd gave a descriptive account of the development
of CAB as an organisation. Although part
of the umbrella organisation, each branch of CAB is actually an independent
charity and self-reliant on procuring funds to continue operations. The CAB movement was launched the day after the
declaration which commenced the Second World War and has become an integral
part of British society.
CAB and Rotary share similar ideals, both organisations are
mainly concerned with ‘changing lives’ and ‘service above self.’ CAB advisors are there to empower their
clients. The service they provide is
Free, Confidential, Impartial and Independent.
Clients coming to CAB are NOT told how to play the system, but rather
informed of their rights and responsibilities which should enable them to make
an informed decision on the issue in hand.
President Ian Young gave the vote of thanks and, on behalf of
Hucknall Rotary Club, made a donation of £ 600 to the work of Nottingham and
District Citizens Advice Bureau.
