18th July     Garden Party at Middlewood (most of arrangements made).  Tickets in advance only
@ £10 they are very good value for money including wine and Allison Merton to entertain us. 
limiting numbers  to 300 guests. We will have the usual high standard 
barbequed  Burgers and sausages at only £2

All the organising has been completed so that on the 26th July  the Lummis family are staying in the 
Southwold
caravan.  We already have a provisional date for next year.

October  Old Folk’s treat.  Details still to be confirmed but likely to be similar to last year.

December  Christmas lights on the Mere. I will be meeting up with   John Huggins and I am confident that with 
his advice we will get the raft launched and keep it afloat and the right way up.

June  Kids Out to Pleasurewood Hills.

Ongoing Items
Birthday presents
for deserving people organised by Ivor Dennison.  The list has been reducing in recent years.  
If you know of any deserving cases – people living alone with little contact with other people being the main criteria.  
The gift is perhaps secondary to the visit.
Community Service Award we are already considering someone
Diss and District Blind and Partially sighted Club.We are assisting in setting up the Quaker Meeting House for 
their meetings and may in the future be helping with transport, so if anyone living near that hall would like to assist 
on the 3rd Friday afternoon each month it only takes a few minutes.

1st. Diss Scout HQ: The club is to offer advice and physical help but only token financial support.

Hadsten Youth Exchange: Usually at Easter time, our youth go to Hadsten in July. 
Concern expressed that we may not have enough children to go. 
If not enough are available we should still offer to host Danish children.
Budget £1500.00.

SNYSB: Framed photos of the Mere with it’s fountain and an inset of the memorial stone
to give to the host Rotary Clubs on their far east tour.

Diss Community Woodland Project: The club’s involvement in the founding of the project
should be recorded on a sign at the entrance and that a tree should be planted.

Other Youth Projects: We will contacted District for details before the 
schools are approached. These include: cooks, inventors, sailors, musicians and debaters.
