Wednesday 11 August 2010: Bakewell for lunch then Hope Valley in the evening









Lunchtime visit to Bakewell. President Rita Hickin works at the Derbyshire Building Society next door to the venue - very convenient Rita!













Hope Valley: PP Karina Guarino with Rotaract President Sarah Philips and Rotaract Secretary Rachel Wardle. Great to hear that a group of Rotaractors will be at Conference in Southport.





After the lunchtime Bakewell meeting we decided to spend the afternoon on retail therapy before moving on to the evening meeting at Hope Valley at the Grouse Inn, Longshaw. There was some time to spare so we parked in a layby for a break and checked with the Satnav that we were about 2 miles from the required Postcode. Time to move off! The Satnav sent us almost into Sheffield before turning us round and finally telling us that we had arrived at our destination - a car park on the Longshaw estate! Knowing that the club did not meet there we travelled down the road towards the layby where we had stopped and discovered that the Grouse Inn was 100 yards from the layby and we had passed it whilst half asleep. Moral? Don't trust a Satnav! Pictured here are the three Presidents for this year, Jane Weightman, Keith Jones and Chris Kraushaar.
