June ... what a month it has been! The Jubilee weekend provided
hours of enjoyment watching the many events in London and throughout the country
although I did find the Thames Pageant a little too long. Then it was time to dust off my
green, white and gold flag for Euro 2012 but I soon put it away again and decided to support
the country that has given me a home. Unfortunately that flag had to be put away as well!
June 16th
saw me putting on Bunny Ears to participate in the Swaffham Home Hospice ladies
night out 10 km walk to raise funds for this very deserving cause.79 ladies ( including Julia
Wallace ) took part and at the time of writing the amount of money raised has not yet been
announced.
Next morning it was off to Derbyshire for a week’s holiday in Castleton. This pretty village is known as the ‘gem of the Peaks’. It is ideally situated for visiting many places of interest
such as Chatsworth and the lovely town of Buxton. . The village has lots of gift shops, good
pubs and restaurants and on the Thursday we celebrated our wedding anniversary in ‘ 1530’ an Italian restaurant serving excellent food. In fact we dined there twice during our stay. I
also managed to visit some very big and well known bookshops.
Monday June 25th was a very special evening as 40 members and partners gathered in
Swaffham Golf Club for the club Handover. After an excellent meal and many amusing
speeches the various jewels were handed over and I received my President’s chain which I will be very proud to wear. My thanks go to everyone for their attendance and kind and
encouraging words. Hopefully we will have many more enjoyable occasions during the year.
Now the real work starts but there is lots to look forward to in July as there is, as always, a
varied programme of events. Perhaps summer will arrive before the next edition of Pedlar’s Post.

THE FAMILY OF ROTARY
We remember fondly TRISH EVANS and our thoughts are with Colin and his family.
Perhaps the following lines by Joyce Grenfell, which Stuart Nairn read at the service
held in All Saints'Church, Shouldham to celebrate Trish's life, may be appropriate here.
If I should go before the rest of you,
Break not a flower, nor inscribe a stone,
Nor, when I'm gone, speak in a Sunday voice,
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must:
Parting is hell,
Life goes on
So ... sing as well!
We have been busy preparing ourselves to present Dictionaries4Life to Year 6 Leavers at
the Primary Schools. This involves 13 members of the Club, 14 schools and 222
Dictionaries. So it is quite an undertaking. Janice Parsons kindly dealt with printing book
plates and a team of 4 of us spent an afternoon sticking them into the books. So now each
pupil will leave with a book that shows their name and refers to Rotary as the donor. Thanks
to all those who have agreed to help.
Now, we shall start thinking about the new Rotary Year. A definite date is The Race Night,
again at The George on Friday March 1st. It is not too early to start thinking about names
for horses and races and a party to come with you to enjoy themselves !!
The next operation is the RYLA course in September and we shall introduce our candidate,
Amber Dugdale, to the Club at a meeting soon.

VOCATIONAL SERVICE
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SWAFFHAM Page 5
Well, what can I say? Bill came home
from a Rotary meeting and asked if I
would like to go on the Twinning trip to
France. Hand on heart, I have to say
that I wasn’t very keen on going. You see I don’t have an ear for languages. My French teacher at school told me to stop trying and find some other subject. I
decided on History.
But the day arrived and we drove to the tunnel only to find someone had decided to
go for a stroll in the tunnel and all trains were delayed for three and a half hours. We
arrived at Rue in pouring rain and were made very welcome by members of the Rue
club (lots of kissing of cheeks). After a welcome snack, we followed our hostess
Nadine to her lovely home and met 2 wonderful dogs who didn’t understand a word I said.
Nadine’s husband Eric (President of the Rue club) arrived and presented me with a bunch of flowers (very nice) and more kisses. Eric spoke good English (hurrah) and
this helped me to relax. That evening we had a wonderful meal with the whole
Swaffham party, their hosts, and other Rue members.
On Saturday we had a full day, visiting Rue and St Valery, with a lunch consisting of
a variety of delicious rolls filled with meat, fish, pate and cheese. A lot of walking, in
beautiful sunshine, with English-speaking guides explaining places of interest. Great
views over the Bay.
That evening was the banquet to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rue club.
This was a fascinating, and very enjoyable, experience. Officially timed at 7 for 7.30,
and we actually sat down at about 8.40 (after abundant champagne and canapés).
Then speeches. Malcolm spoke in French, and to this English-speaker it seemed
very good (and he did supply us with a written translation into English, perhaps so
we would laugh at the right places). Eric made a brief speech in English.
At 9.15 we had the fish course, followed by dancing (which seemed odd to me).
Main course came at about 10.30. This was beef wellington. Now I don’t normally
like my beef very rare, and my first impression was that Lawrie could probably have
got the beast back on its feet and running around. But I ate it and found it very tasty.
More dancing, with dessert and coffee around midnight, before the party broke up at
about 1am.
THE FRENCH TRIP
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SWAFFHAM Page 6
It was a great evening, with everyone chattering away, helped by a number of pocket
French-English dictionaries. The French were very patient with me, with the
abundant goodwill preventing any embarrassment about my lack of language skills.
On Sunday the whole party and their hosts had a farewell lunch at Eric and Nadine’s
beautiful home. Once again the sun shone, and we all sat out in the garden enjoying
the food, drink and company, before Bill and I left at about 4pm to drive to Honfleur
for a couple of days.
The members of the Rue club had made us feel so very welcome, and I will be very
happy to welcome them to our home when they visit Swaffham. While they didn’t let me feel uncomfortable about my lack of French, I did promise Sylvie that I would
take some lessons. So U3A French classes here I come!

TEN PIN BOWLING
A group of ten Rotarians and partners visited
Strikes! Bowl in Dereham on 18th
June.
We were allocated two adjacent lanes. Our first
challenge was to master the entry of players’ names into the computer which controls scoring etc. Once
done, bowling commenced. Perhaps the best that
can be said is that no one managed to achieve any
consistency. At one stage the scoreboard looked
more like a game of noughts and crosses!
At the end of the first game we adjourned for an enjoyable plate of food. At this stage Steve
was in the lead, which was a bit surprising since he arrived after we started and his fellow
players had achieved higher scores when taking “Steve’s go”.
Suitably nourished and refreshed, we returned for a second game. Some managed to
improve on their first round score, but most of us seemed to lose what rhythm we had
developed and did not do as well.
Over both games Nigel returned the highest score and won a bottle of wine. The person
with the lowest score was given a ticket for complimentary games. Someone to watch for
next time!
Overall, a different and enjoyable evening of fellowship.

VERSE AND WORSE.... After a lifetime of teaching literature I hope that I might be forgiven for now abusing my
position as Editor and including from time to time in Pedlar's Post some of the poetry etc. which
has particularly caught my eye over the years. One or two other members have already
expressed an interest in following suit and the opportunity is offered to all. Over to you!
Many of you will already have heard me quote to you the final line of my opening choice (usually
when you have expressed uncharitable views about my favourite football team) but I believe
that the poem is worthy of inclusion here in full. Alan J.
HE WISHES FOR THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN
by W.B.YEATS
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

This month has just whistled by – we are almost at the end and I can’t help wondering where it went to! We started of course, with the fantastic Jubilee weekend for our Queen with the beacons,
fireworks, BBQs, parties etc and the magnificent (if wet) pageant down the Thames, not to mention
the lovely service at St. Paul’s Cathedral. It has been a very busy month with lots of happenings
including the delivery to our garden of two very large Canary palms. When we unpacked them, we
couldn’t believe how big they were. Very hardy down to -6 degrees so should be ok for the winter
but will need to be wrapped in fleece if the temperature drops any lower. They make a real
statement in the garden. They now have to be repotted into 25 cm pots to enable the roots to
spread. As they are rather prickly, not looking forwards to doing that. With all the rain, the garden is
looking very lush – the roses have really come on and we have great double head cream and red
roses which are beautifully scented. Not much sign of redcurrants on the bushes so think it will be
another year before they really get going. The grapevine has taken off this last month and now
needs tying into the pergola supports otherwise it tends to ramble all over the roof, getting under
the eaves and being a nuisance. The two rhododendrons were a mass of purple and red flowers and
I have strawberries on my plants in the pots which will need to be netted otherwise the birds will be
after them. The potatoes Himself planted earlier on in their tubs are coming on. There is something
good about digging your own new potatoes so looking forward to that. They have such a different
taste to the shop bought ones.
Two of the apple trees have plenty of fruit but the old Egremont Russet has been attacked by woolly
aphids and no amount of spraying, cutting out diseased wood etc has made any difference. It may
have to be cut down but I will be sorry to lose it. The apples are huge, juicy and very tasty with the
lovely rough skin of a russet apple. It is one of the oldest varieties we have in this country and there
are specimens at the National Apple collection as well. The lavender is now out and looks a picture –
no sign of the bees yet which is worrying although the bumblies are around but again, not many of
them this year. A beekeeper friend has lost one of his hives and there seems to be a general
shortage of bees in the area. Such a pity as without bees, we don’t get pollination of our fruit. Can I
urge everyone to make sure they have bee friendly plants in their gardens. We cannot afford to lose
these little creatures. The cherry tree is full of fruits so hope for a good crop this year if we can get
to them before the birds do! The only thing left to do is to get a new pump for the fountain. Junior
Labrador managed to chew the top off the old one so now it doesn’t work.
Not seen much evidence of the deer around - the occasional munkjac and the odd Chinese water
deer but not much else. Lots of kestrels about so there must be plenty of mice etc for them. It is
lovely to see them hovering over the roadsides clearly having spotted something in the grass. I don’t think the Peregrines have returned to the grain silo in King’s Lynn this year – there has been no sign
of them at all which is a pity but good to see a breeding pair on the side of the spire of Norwich
Cathedral. Quite magical to watch on the webcams particularly when the two remaining babies
were fledging and teetering on the brink deciding whether to jump off or not!

small palette knife and sprinkle with the chopped stem ginger to decorate. Allow the icing to set
before cutting the cake into pieces. ENJOY.

JOHN AND JULIA'S TRIP TO CANADA For years Canada has been on our list of holiday destinations. Julia and I have often talked about
what to see and where to go. Chances are that if you have been there, we have quizzed you as well!
One dark and cold January evening Julia was looking through the Trailfinders newsletter and, bingo,
there it was - the ideal trip for us. Back in January we were aware it was the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year and as it turned out we were going away on the weekend.
When we met two fellow tour members at Vancouver Airport it was too late to join the rest of the
group for dinner so after a brief hello we retreated to our room for an overdue night’s sleep. The following morning we all met up for a coach tour of Vancouver. Most of our fellow travellers were
Aussies. We knew at once we few Poms could expect some friendly ribbing but we could not have
even guessed at what a great time was in store with everyone gelling and laughter being the order of
every day. We had some free time after the tour, long enough for us to re-visit the Gastown clock
which had a steam powered Westminster.
The following morning we set off early (for us at least) to join the Rocky Mountaineer for a two day
trip. I had expected this journey to be the highlight of the tour. It did not disappoint. I can remember
the days when British Rail served “proper” food in their dining cars and the scenery on some routes in the West Country and Scotland was pretty special. On both counts Canada came out on top. The
food was impressive. On the second day especially, the scenery was amazing. Maybe it was
heightened by the fact that the track snaked alongside a river or lake and thus we looked up at steep
sided snow covered mountains either side of us
Next morning we went down to breakfast oblivious to the overnight storm. There were people
everywhere and a long queue for breakfast. We quickly found out that there had been a land slip
and both the road and rail line were closed so the Rocky Mountaineer could not do the reverse of
the trip we had just enjoyed. The weather also put paid to our planned helicopter trip in Banff but I
think I enjoyed the substitute wine tasting as much if not more! We did ride on the gondola to the
top of Sulphur Mountain, freshly dusted with a layer of snow, for some spectacular views of six
mountain ranges.
Thereafter we travelled by coach, first to Lake
Louise looking at glacier after glacier. At the lake we
found our hotel at one end and a spectacular glacier
at the other. I was told the photo opportunity at
5.00 a.m. was amazing - mill pond still and
reflections of the trees and snow covered tops in
the water. My pics, taken at a more civilised 8.00
o’clock aren’t bad! Just when we thought we might
have done enough glaciers, we were taken by
specially built vehicles to walk on the Athabasca
Glacier. Now many of our new Aussie friends don’t see snow that often so it was inevitable that a snowball fight would ensue. We avoided direct hits,
not so our tour director. A very nice Canadian lady of 50 something somehow finished up on her
back in the snow. Fortunately she saw she funny side of it.
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SWAFFHAM Page 12
Next night we were in Sun Peaks. Now I can see how it would be bursting with activity in the
skiing season, but that had just ended and it was something of a ghost town between
seasons. Not so Whistler our next overnight stop. Clearly hosting the Winter Olympics in
2010 caused massive development but it has developed into an all year attraction. We
watched mountain bikers put their bikes on the chair lifts and then come hurtling down at
speeds comparable to down-hill skiers. And they did not have the snow to cushion their falls
if they made a hash of it. It was a thriving place where Canadians go to enjoy themselves.
Next morning we were on our way to Victoria on Vancouver Island, described as having a
British feel and twice voted best city in the Americas. We had some free time to explore a
little on our own and we liked what we saw. Next morning we had breakfast in the Butchart
Gardens and then wandered at will through acres of themed gardens. I bought a green
sweatshirt like those worn by the 50 gardeners in the hope that some of their magic might
rub off on me. The day was completed with a farewell dinner with all our new friends.
On the final morning it was back across the Georgia Strait to Vancouver. The airport for a
few of us, the cruise terminal for most as they had opted for a seven day Alaskan cruise. Did
the holiday meet our expectations? Oh yes, and exceeded them in many respects. Was the
Rocky Mountaineer the best bit? There were many best bits. Much as we enjoyed it, I doubt
if we would ride the train again. However I could see us going back to Victoria and making a
return trip to the Butchart Gardens. Would we travel with APT again? You bet we will. Never
heard of them before we booked this holiday but now we can’t sing their praises enough. It might have been dearer than some other tours, but we had some excellent rooms in superb
hotels in beautiful locations. Overall we had an unforgettable holiday which was excellent
value for money.

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and
thinking, surely I can't look that old? Well...You'll love this one!
My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my
first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his Dental Diploma,
which bore his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the
same name had been in my secondary school class some 30-odd years
ago. Could he be the same boy that I had a secret crush on, way back
then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This
balding, grey-haired man with the deeply-lined face was far too old to
have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended
Morgan Park Secondary School.
"Yes, yes I did. I'm a Morganner!" he beamed with pride.
"When did you leave to go to college?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1965. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely; then , the UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT-

Rotary's collaboration with Start, the
sustainability initiative inspired by HRH The Prince of Wales, is detailed in the RIBI
Environment Group's Service Project Sheet printed on Page16. Recent news on the
initiative includes the following:
Start worked to promote the benefits of seasonal food at the Big Jubilee Lunch With Start in
Greenwich, which attracted 10,000 people. Droves turned up with home-cooked food to eat
at the long decorated tables(even in the rain), with a great variety of street entertainment and
guest appearances culminating in the spectacular Jubilee Pageant going past.
The "Start Roadshow with B&Q" will visit agricultural shows and festivals across the UK this
Summer. The exhibition will take visitors on a journey of sustainable living ideas for the
home: including great ideas for saving energy and water; growing food in small spaces; and
upcycling household items that otherwise would be thrown away.
"Start Imagining" is a creative programme encouraging young people to make things from
what they would normally throw away -- junk! A national competition recently encouraged
schools to make a boat from junk to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Over 1,000
children in 150 schools entered and the six winning entries will be on display at the Discover
Greenwich Visitor Centre until Sunday 15th July ( The winning entries can be seen on
www.startimagining.co.uk ).
To find out about Start events, plus great sustainable living tips, sign up to the monthly Start
Newsletter.
ROTARY AND THE

SERVICE PROJECT SHEET
Environmental Education Programme Collaboration with " Start"
Objective
To expand and develop RIBI’s environmental programme through collaboration with Start, a national
initiative of HRH The Prince of Wales’s Charities Foundation which promotes and celebrates
sustainable living.
RIBI Environment Group
Mankind’s impact on natural resources (atmospheric pollution, fresh water supplies, biodiversity etc) has reached unsustainable levels. Unless action is taken to live within our means, this will result
in adverse and very unpleasant consequences for us all, especially the underprivileged. The RIBI
Environment Group, through its network of District Environment Officers (DENs), promotes
awareness of sustainability issues within Rotary and supports Clubs undertaking environmental
projects within their local communities.
Start
Start’s objective is to present an inspiring picture of a sustainable future by highlighting the very best examples of sustainable practice in the UK, and showing how we can all make positive changes right
now.
Funded by corporate partners, it currently has eleven full time staff who promote and facilitate
sustainability programmes within the community and liaise with supporting not-for-profit
organisations such as Rotary.
Rotary Service type
Rotary organises environmental initiatives within the community, especially amongst young people.
These currently include, for example:
the annual RIBI Environment Awards competition
recycling projects such as bicycle recycling
conservation projects such as tree planting schemes
support to eco schools projects
a carbon emissions offset scheme which funds solar ovens in the third world
Opportunities for collaboration
Like the RIBI Environment Group, Start also organises and facilitates community based sustainability
projects. Many of these are targeted at young people and schools and are well resourced and
publicised via a comprehensive website www.startuk.org. RIBI and Start therefore intend to exploit
these synergies by cross linking their websites and jointly promoting selected projects.
Personalities/Organisations supporting the projects
Start is an initiative of the Princes Charity Foundation. Corporate financial sponsors include, inter
alia, B&Q, M&S and Business in the Community. Not-for-profit supporters include the RSPB, the
Woodland Trust and the WI.
Benefits to clubs
access to top class web based resources on the Start website
ideas and encouragement for club projects
sharing and learning through access to other Start supporters
opportunities to tap in to well funded promotions and celebrity endorsement
profile for Rotary as an active player in sustainability initiatives endorsed by HRH The Prince
of Wales
