Reaching the age of ninety is something to be
celebrated and the Rotary Club of Ilkeston certainly did that at their 90th
Charter Dinner this last Saturday at the Morley Hayes Hotel. What made this charter different to the ones
I have attended so far?
This was the first charter that had Birthday
Cake! That certainly made an
impression on me as I’m someone who enjoys his cakes. Upon arrival and during the meal, a group of
musicians drawn from several of the area’s brass bands were playing well-known
pieces under the collective name of “Top Brass.” Being a brass aficionado myself, I took a
keen interest in their repertoire chatting to the members and earning an
invitation to a band rehearsal. Included
was a “Last Night of the Proms” singalong with the top table guests standing on
their chairs waving flags!
The meal was well-presented and the tables were set
in accordance with individual ‘s meal choices so the staff didn’t have to ask
who was having the soup or prawn cocktail option etc. A little detail perhaps but one that hasn’t
been observed elsewhere.
After the formal toasts, a dance band called Park
Royal entertained.
