Dukenfield & Stalybridge, Denton & Audenshaw, Macclesfield, Marple & Goyt
As you can tell from the title line, we were hosted by numerous clubs between the 25th and 29th of May, all of them very gracious and accommodating. The team was treated to a wonderful day with the Mayor of Macclesfield where we each received a proclamation certificate, followed by a tour of the Silk Museum (where Jeremy had a weaving shuttle mishap…) and then moved on to a wonderful presentation evening with Denton & Audenshaw.

Jeremy and Melissa would like to pay a special note of thanks to our hostess, Pam, for her charming wit and personality. We were well entertained and had a fabulous time in her company (although we are sure she was happy to see us board the train for London).
Another note of thanks to Roy for treating the team to a much-needed afternoon at his health club where we were all able to take advantage of a few hours relaxation after our transfer.
As always, we were sorry to leave our new found friends and know that we have created many memories and lifelong contacts. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of the Rotary GSE experience and look forward to whatever the next phase of our journey may bring our way.
