SUMMARY:Lunchtime speaker - District Governor - Mike Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker this week was Mike Thorn who is our District Governor. He is a member of Cheam & Sutton\nRotary Club. We also had some guests from Woking High School\, which is becoming a corporate member. These\nwere Dean and two pupils who are members of the Gardening Club and gave us a short talk on it. We have\ngiven it some purple crocus bulbs. We are giving the school a grant towards a new gazebo to be used at\nlunchtime and as an extra teaching space. Mike produces monthly videos that you can view on Facebook (see\nRotary Mike) and are very interesting. He asked us what we liked about our club. Members replied that they\nliked the people in the club and what we are able to do to help our local community and also overseas. Some of\nthe things we do are hands-on like the Childrens’ Fun Day and the Mizens Railway event or collecting tools and\nbooks to send to Africa. We also give money to local charities raised through our fundraising. This is usually to\nfinance a project. This year we sponsored a student to attend the RYLA course. For overseas projects\, such as\nsand dams\, we have been able to get grants from Rotary Foundation and they usually involve a number of UK\nclubs working together. Spearheaded by our President Carol Cheesman\, the Club has recruited some corporate\nmembers. These include the Woking & Sam Beare Hospice\, Woking Football Club and West Hall Care Home. The\nClub has also recruited a number of new individual members. Mike said one his jobs as Governor is to inspire\nclubs to do more and look at more flexible ways of meeting together. Mike gave us an update on the Global\nPolio Eradication campaign. When the campaign was launched in 1985 polio was endemic across the world with\n350\,000 cases. It now endemic only in Afghanistan and in the parts of Pakistan that border it. Pakistan is doing\nwell\, but Afghanistan has slipped back under the Taliban government since vaccination is now carried out in\nvaccination centres rather than in homes\, which was more effective. The main non-governmental funders of the\ncampaign have been Rotary Foundation ($2.9bn)\, and the Gates Foundation ($6bn)\, which has provided 2:1\nmatched funding. Rotary has pledged a further $450m for 2027-9. It is important to continue vaccination\nacross countries such as India to prevent it returning. Carol thanked Mike for his interesting and inspiring talk.\nWe also found the accompanying discussion very useful and rewarding.\nPresident’s Notes\nOur next social event is the Christmas party on\nTuesday 2nd December. There is also a trip to the\nRhoda McGaw Theatre on Friday 27th November to\nsee WAOS Musical Theatre’s production of Singing\nin the Rain a trip on Monday 1st December\nevening to Wisley to see the RHS Glow. We will be\naccompanied by some visitors from the French\nrotary club Clamart\, Le Plessis-Robinson\, Velizy\nwho are also coming to our Christmas party event.\nMonday 16th November

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker - Kevin Mack - Compliance\,  Safe Guarding
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker this week was Kevin Mack who gave a talk on Health & Safety and Compliance. Kevin is a\nmember of Rushmoor Rotary Club and is also the District Compliance Officer for Rotary South (District 1145). Kevin said that each Club must have a Compliance Officer\, which could be the Club Secretary. He recommends that clubs subscribe to The Purple Guide. This is published by the Events Industry Forum\, is a comprehensive guide to running outdoor events across the UK. It is written by working groups drawn from the industry and from government and is published online\, being constantly revised and updated. It covers health & safety and other legal responsibilities and also advises organisers on best practice when running them. The guide can be purchased through our Rotary District at a special price of E12. An outdoor event should always be an Event Plan including a risk assessment\, an emergency plan and a safety action notice. Most events\, including street collections\, require licenses from the local authority. Organisers will also need permission from the landowner if it takes place on private land. When selling or serving food a club should comply with "Natasha's law" which stipulates that all food made on the premises and packaged for sale must display a full ingredients list with the top 14 allergens clearly highlighted. Kevin also spoke about compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR). He recommends that when sending emails clubs should use blind copies (BCC) for circulation lists\, especially when sending them to non-members. Copyright regulations should be strictly adhered when using images or photos. Infringement of copyright can prove expensive. If using Al for publications you should make sure that the text is carefully proof read before sending it out to avoid embarrassing mistakes\, since it is prone to errors. Safeguarding regulations should be strictly adhered to particularly when events involve children or vulnerable adults. Volunteers should never touch children; if dealing with a medical emergency involving a child\, the volunteer should ensure that there is at least one other adult present. The District runs a mediation service for disputes within clubs which can sometimes happen. Terry Smith thanked Kevin for his interesting and very comprehensive presentation and thanked him for his readiness to offer his advice to clubs when dealing with these important issues

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker - Keith Tatlock - Save or Discard
DESCRIPTION:Sub Title of this talk!   "Our Disappearing Heritage"Our speaker this week was Keith Tatlock who gave talk called Save or Discard illustrated by a number of\ninteresting slides. Keith said his talk was not a lament for the past\, but raised the question of how best to save\nmemorable buildings\, ships\, aircraft and engineering for posterity. While not all can be saved\, if there is special\nlink with the past they should be. The connection could be with a notable person or an important event\, or it\ncould be a fine example of a style of architecture\, or of outstanding and innovative technology. Keith’s talk was\nprompted by an occasion when\, while he was giving the vote of thanks he had\, controversially\, strongly\ndisagreed with a speaker from the National Trust\, who had presented the case not fully restoring Clandon Park\nafter the 2015 fire. The NT had consulted the public on a plan to restore fully the 18th century ground floor\nrooms using the £65m insurance money\, while the upper floors would have been used as exhibition space and a\nrestaurant and cafe. But it had then abandoned the original plan in favour of just restoring the exterior\, leaving\nthe interior much as it was after the fire. By contrast Uppark House\, another National Trust mansion in West\nSussex\, which was also gutted after a fire in 1989 was fully restored to the "day before the fire". It reopened in\n1995 and is a fine example of modern conservation using skilled craftsmen to copy the historic details. Notable\nrestorations after disasters include St Georges Hall at Windsor Castle which was restored after the 1992 fire and\nwas completed in 1997\, the House of Commons chamber\, gutted by fire bombs in 1941 and fully restored to its\noriginal design in 1950 and the campanile (bell tower) in St Mark’s Square\, Venice which collapsed in 1902\, but\nhad been fully restored by 1912. The 18th century Frauenkirche in Dresden was virtually destroyed by bombs in\n1945 but rebuilt in 2004. More recently\, Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is being fully restored after a disastrous\nfire in 2019. Keith gave many examples of notable buildings\, such as St Pancras station and hotel\, ships such as\nthe Queen Mary and aircraft such as the Spitfire and Concorde that have been preserved. On the other hand\nsome have been lost such as the iconic art deco Firestone Tyre factory in Brentford demolished in 1980\, the\noriginal Euston station demolished in the 1960’s and SS United States\, the world’s fastest ocean liner.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker- Steve Tindall & Lisa - Bee-lieve Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Supporting young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing in Woking across Surrey and beyondThis week's speakers were Steve Tindall and Lise Price from Beelieve Foundation. Beelieve is a charity that supports young people with mental health problems and also offers advice to teachers and parents on these issues. Steve is the CEO and founder of Believe has been a teacher for 30 years including 14 years as a headteacher. Lise is a trustee and the mother of Molly Price. When it was originally set up\, Beelieve covered the whole country\, but it now focuses mainly on the NW Surrey area. Each year\, one million young people are referred to the NHS with mental health issues such as depression\, severe anxiety or trauma. Neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism can also be contributory factors. Mental health issues normally emerge by age 14\, although their roots can often be identified as early as age 4. There are over 200 suicides per year of people under 30 in the UK; it is the biggest cause of death for people in that age range. Internationally\, the UK does well in academic achievement\, but it ranks poorly for satisfaction with life amongst young people. In girls aged 13-16 it is in the bottom 5. Beelieve works with schools\, community clubs and parents to deliver teaching programmes\, whole-staff training\, early intervention therapies\, and workshops that strengthen support for children who are struggling with depression\, anxiety and trauma. Trauma includes bereavement and parental marriage breakdown. It believes that emotional wellbeing should be at the heart of the school community and should be taught as part of the school curriculum. Molly Price (Lise's daughter) had struggled with mental\nhealth problems after she was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 14. She sadly took her own life at the age of 21. The Make a Difference for Molly Project is a schools-based initiative\, designed to support children and young people with their emotional wellbeing\, resilience\, and self-belief as a practical way of honouring Molly's life. Beelieve works with a 9 local primary and secondary schools including Woking High\, Hoe Valley and also with Woking College. The programme involves culture change and building the capability of school staff to deal sympathetically and empathetically with trauma and anxiety in their pupils. Its programmes can be delivered relatively economically\, but achieve significant results. Graham Fagence thanked Steven and Lise for their\ninspirational and moving presentations. Carol Cheesman presented them with a donation on behalf of the Club.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker - Leo the participant in RYLA
DESCRIPTION:Rotary Young Leaders Award.  Leo was sponsored by legacy in Eric Whitaker's name.his week our speaker was Leonardo Cardillo (Leo) who gave a presentation on RYLA (Rotary Youth\nLeadership Awards). The Club sponsored Leo to go on the scheme. When our member Eric Whittaker died\,\nthe Club set up a special fund in his memory to help and encourage young people. Some of the money came\nfrom this fund. Sheila Whittaker visited High Ashurst with Carol and was also a guest at our lunch. She said that\nshe was very impressed with the course and the range of activities that the young people were carrying out.\nLeo was accompanied by his mother and his brother and also by Mr James Hamshar the Head Teacher of St\nJohn the Baptist School\, where Leo is a pupil. He is now in the sixth form. The residential course was held at\nHigh Ashurst which is near Dorking\, Surrey in early August. Rotary South District’s RYLA scheme concentrates\non young people of secondary school age. It aims to develop their leadership potential through activities and\nworkshops covering a wide range of topics and takes the form of a five-day camp. This year’s intake were aged\n14-18 and split 50/50% between male and female. Their average age was 15/16. The participants were split\ninto 6 teams who compete with one another. The activities included high ropes\, archery\, canoeing\, climbing up\na climbing tower\, designing and building a raft and public speaking. On the last day each student did a\npresentation. The eclipse of the sun took place during the course and the students were able to watch it using\nspecial glasses. They also had a visit from Moving Theatre\, a touring theatre company\, which put on a\nproduction of Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare. Leonardo thoroughly enjoyed the course. When\nhe arrived\, he didn’t know anyone\, but quickly made lots of new friends amongst his fellow course participants.\nThis has continued after the course. He said that the course has enabled him to overcome his fears of water\, of\nheights and of public speaking and developed his leadership skills. Leo enjoyed working with his team and they\ndid particularly well in the raft-building project. He said the course was one of the most enjoyable and\nrewarding things that he had done and that it had greatly boosted his self-confidence. He spoke very well and\nmembers were very impressed with his presentation. Carol congratulated Leo on his participation in the scheme\nand on his presentation. She presented him with a certificate (see the photo on the next page).

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker - Mercy Ships - Dr Gareth  Holsgrave
DESCRIPTION:his week our speaker was Dr Gareth Holsgrove who told us about Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships is a Rotary-\nsponsored charity founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens. Since then it has worked in more than 55\ncountries\, providing services valued at more than £1.3 bn. In the countries that it serves\, which are mainly in\nsub-Saharan Africa\, access to safe\, affordable and timely surgery is extremely limited and people suffer and die\nfrom from the diseases of poverty that can easily be cured. By improving healthcare delivery\, it works to\neradicate these diseases. Mercy Ships has two fully equipped hospital ships that provide surgical\, dental and\nother medical services. They provide accessible free surgery and medical care aboard the ships\, thereby\nreducing the surgical backlog. They also create a sustainable legacy by mentoring and training local healthcare\nprofessionals and also by renovating local healthcare facilties and infrastructure such as operating theatres. The\nfirst ship Africa Mercy a converted car ferry at 16\,572 gross tons has 5 operating theatres and a crew of 450.\nThe second ship\, Global Mercy\, was the world’s first purpose-built charity hospital ship and was commissioned in\n2022. It is over twice as big as the first ship at 37\,000 gross tons. Its hospital contains supply services\, 6\noperating theaters\, 7 ICU beds\, 102 acute care beds\, and 90 self-care beds. It features classroom spaces and\nsimulator labs with state-of-the-art technology for training of local medical professionals including a lecture\ntheatre which can accommodate 682 people It can accommodate 641 people and has an academy for the\nchildren of the crew. The two ships have crew and medical and professional volunteers of over 3\,500 annually.\nAround 30% are locals who are paid and receive training. The ships visit different countries for a period of up to\n10 months co-operating with national governments to nominate patients for free surgical and dental care.\nExamples of surgical interventions dealt with include the removal of a neck tumour\, treatment of cleft lips and\ncleft palates\, treatment of burns which are very common in West Africa\, obstetric fistulas\, bone deformity and\ntreatment for cataracts. Cataracts can be treated very quickly and cheaply and can make an enormous\ndifference to the patients. The surgical team can carry out 60 operations per day. Keith Tatlock paid tribute to\nthe impressive work that Mercy Ships does and thanked Gareth for his very interesting and inspirational talk.
