In mid-December, Christchurch Rotary celebrated its arrival at a new venue. The Christchurch Harbour Hotel (formerly The Avonmouth), with an evening of Christmas Carols splendidly accompanied by members of the Boscombe Salvation Army Band.
Before the traditional turkey dinner, President Vee Young asked Rtn John Morgan to present to the Club a new member, Derek Roberts. John said that he had known Derek for many years and was delighted that he had now accepted the invitation to join Rotary. Rtn David Roberts had earlier read out the Objects of Rotary and Derek affirmed that he would do his utmost to uphold them. Pinning Derek's Rotary badge on him, President Vee wished him much happiness and good fellowship in the Club and all members joined in her welcoming him.
