The latest Charter I attended was the RC of
Carlton’s 36th Charter Anniversary Dinner held at the delightful
venue of Woodborough Hall. Woodborough
Hall is an exquisite Grade II listed Hall and a place of tranquillity and charm, lovingly
restored to its former glory.
Woodborough Hall is steeped in history. There are records of a hall
being on the current grounds dating all the way back to 1086. The present
building was built in 1660 and subsequently a Mansfield Parkyns bought the Hall
in 1852 and incorporated some exceptional changes to start its latter day
restoration.
The after-dinner speaker was Comedian Ian Richards. www.ianrichards.co.uk/
Ian is a member of the Grand Order of Water Rats and has made over 500
appearances for the British Armed Forces starting his four decade career in
entertainment in the clubs, appearing in Summer Seasons all around the UK and taking
his brand of comedy all round the world.
The routine was fresh and most suitable for a gathering of
Rotarians. I couldn’t but help to laugh
and the jokes and gags told by Ian made it a memorable night.
