Yesterday evening we travelled the short distance to the Marriott Hotel near Preston to Talk The Walk to Preston Amounderness Rotary.
I like talking to Rotaries. Not only do we get a free meal but the relaxed atmosphere this induces, before the talk proper, means we get to know people in a little more depth than at other talks.
Unfortunately, because it becomes an after-dinner speech, most Rotaries restrict the speaker to 25 or 30 minutes. I cannot give my talk in less than an hour and could easily extend it to two hours - after all, I am talking about more than two years of effort and more than 17 and a half million steps covered.
The talk went down well, as usual, we raised £155, and noticed that several members asked for my business card so that they could draw the attention of other clubs, presumably those would mainly be Rotaries.
I am now very close to having raised £25,000 for this vital cause. I have many talks booked for 2019 and am confident of raising much more.
