Breakfast with The Aurora Rotary Club.

As High Sheriff you frequently have to sing for your supper when attending engagements across the County but singing for my breakfast was a new experience. The Aurora Rotary Club in Shepperton meet regularly early in the morning at the Warren Lodge Hotel in Shepperton and I was very keen to join them, not only because of the promise of a Full English, but because they very generously donated to the High Sheriff Youth Awards (HSYA) recently, which I currently chair. The HSYA supports local organisations which help reduce potential anti-social behaviour by supporting young people and the Aurora Rotary Club kindly helped us through their donation.

Ron Enticott, a fellow trustee of HSYA, and a Rotarian, kindly helped form a double act, where I spoke about the history and the current role of the High Sheriff, whilst he enlightened the audience with information on the HSYA.

It was wonderful meeting such an active group of people and hear all about their upcoming activities, particularly in the build up to Christmas; whilst enjoying that delicious Full English.
