Note from the President
This week Sergeant Nigel started our meeting with some Te Reo, then we inducted a new member Roger Lewis who was born in Wales, and this was followed by Eric Hillerton who gave us a great insight into his life journey to date and his childhood in Scotland. This was followed by the CHS French Trip Group who did the catering for our meeting. So diversity is alive and growing in our club!
 
A warm welcome to our newest member Roger Lewis. Roger was born in Wales. After a brief stint in Accounting and Economics following his graduation from University he decided to choose another career and became a teacher. He met his wife Jan while he was teaching at the International School in Singapore. Jan is a Kiwi and Roger followed her to New Zealand a year after they met in Singapore. Welcome to the Rotary Club of Cambridge Roger and Jan.
 
A big thank you to the French Trip team from CHS who did the catering for our meeting. A delicious and tasty meal followed by dessert. Zara, a member of the group, gave us an outline of their intended trip to France in 2025. They have an exciting itinerary including a trip to Le Quesnoy.  We wish you all the best in your fund raising activities and hope the trip goes well.
 
Take care
Gary Smith
Guest Speaker - Eric Hillerton
This week Eric Hillerton provided members with a fascinating insight into his life’s journey to date. Eric was born in Scotland and outlined his early years in Scotland including the forms of discipline used by teachers to keep students on track in the classroom environment – dusters, chalk, the ruler, desk lids and of course the Scottish version of the leather strap.
 
Eric  outlined his distinguished and considerable professional career having been involved in the foot and mouth event in the UK and Mad Cow disease, robotic milking and mastitis research.
 
Eric came to New Zealand in 2006 to join the Dairy NZ research unit. Thank you Eric for such a fascinating insight into your successful and distinguished professional career.
