President Cheryl's Message.
Hi everyone
Another successful Zoom last week. Thank you to Tania Lowry, previous District Governor and current District Learning and Development Chair, for updating us on the district’s training seminar via Zoom. By the time you read this you will be well into the day, or on to the next. There were lots of training options for you to attend. I trust those of you that did found it beneficial. Next club night we might set aside time to share what you learnt and how we can implement some of the ideas in our club.
As I write this Gilly Oppenheim is in hospital following an accident at home. Wishing you well for a speedy recovery Gilly.
Robyn Baldwin is back on deck as our speaker organiser but is still waiting for confirmation of who it will be this coming week. No pressure Robyn!
Enjoy the great weather that seems to be hanging around.
See you on the screen
Yours aye Cheryl
Zooming For The Next Few Weeks
As announced at Tuesday 19th April meeting. We will not be having any face to face meetings for a while. Our attendance is down to between 25 and 30%, with increasing numbers choosing zoom. Each week different people are isolating as close contacts, because they themselves have tested positive, or because they are choosing to manage the threat by isolating themselves from most or all community interaction, and then there are those who are generally very unwell.
I appreciate there are pockets of you who have little or no experience in using zoom. Let me know if you would like a 1:1 lesson - it gets easier the more you use it. I always think the fun bit is the pets who pop up, kids who wave as they pass by or the backdrop scenery some use. You are free to invite your household members to listen to the speaker of course, just as you can invite them to a physical meeting.
The meeting will start at 6.30 after you’ve had a chance to have dinner, we will commence with the guest speaker followed by club business. See below for the link. Otherwise, it is business as usual. The different committees need to meet as and when, either at someone’s place, a cafe, or via zoom. We need to perhaps find ways to have catch ups in person, at a cafe, or dinner out or something. Suggestions welcome. And, as is traditional, we will be having a changeover dinner. More about that later.
Zooming isn’t the Board’s preferred meeting forum for the Club but its become increasingly obvious this is the most practical way to manage the current situation, hopefully for the short term. We can but give it a go.
See you on the screen next week
Cheryl

“A Hub of Cyclists”, “The Chain Gang”, “ A Pedalling of Cyclists”, “A Battery of Cyclists” ( for e-bikes) & as a reflection of our age “ The Retyrees”
A non-cycling friend but keen car driver suggested “ A Hazzard of Cyclists” but
we will ignore that and advise that the joint winners were;

Thank you to those who took part

Editors Humour.
As a head cashier in a departmental store, he had to open and close the cash registers of the cashiers. Whenever a cashier started work, he was paged to open the register. "Open my register," "Please let me start," and "Give me the go-ahead," were some of the terms used by cashiers. One day, a newly appointed bright-looking girl came to the register and said loudly, "Turn me on!"

“What are these pennies doing in my soup?” the restaurant patron demanded, motioning for the waiter to come over to his table. The waiter walked over and whispered, “You said you would stop eating here if there wasn’t some change in the food.”
