I can’t believe that we got lost again this year! Harry has been 5 years now and always gets lost. The sat nav was impressive but clearly didn’t understand what a golf club is. Surprising as it was in Harry’s car! Richard S spent what seemed like hours in The Spinning Wheel pub trying to find out where to go – they weren’t sure even although it was only about 8 mins away. We eventually arrived just as they were about to take their seats. Usual huge attendance, couldn’t afford raffle tickets at £5 per ticket or a snip at £25 per strip! Still it is in Sevenoaks/Westerham area so plenty of others bought them and it made over £1000.
Can’t say I was overly impressed by the eminent speaker historian and broadcaster Christopher Lee ( no not the Dracula one!). He said he lost his notes and it showed. Obviously a very learned man but hardly dynamic with little ability to put over the points to a large crowd. Plenty of overfed, over-wined middle-aged Rotarians nodded off. I wish I had my camera there.
Journey home was less exciting than the journey there although someone did think they saw Hastings pier as we hammered down the A21. We had three backseat navigators and one in the front with very little agreement amongst the lot of us. Still it was great fun and thanks to Harry B for taking us.
