My delegation skills are slipping. Someone pointed out when we left tonight's meeting that I had a load of things to do I could have delegated. The trouble is that there was hardly anyone there tonight and there are loads of things to sort out. But I think I pretty much just have to ring everyone, so it probably won't take as long as I think it will. Especially if I organise myself during Teachers in a bit.

I did manage to give the job of secretary to someone else, as the real secretary wasn't there. I think all the girls in the club have done the job now I think my entire night is going to be Rotaract though, because we have so much coming up:

• Going Christmas shopping in Birmingham on Saturday
• Going to Burns Supper at the end of January
• Going to the local panto in January (Humpty Dumpty)
• Victorian Evening - which is where there are a load of charity and other stalls in the town and all the shops open late. We sell chestnuts for charity
• The Cheese and Wine Quiz we hold every year for the Rotarians
• Our Christmas dinner in early December

And since December is always busy with various Christmas meals and such like, our next meeting is down the pub. The meeting on 28th is cancelled for obvious reasons And I haven't quite had time to think about Rotaract Week in March (I think) and whether we're going to put on our Barn Dance this year - I need to get most of the above out of the way first, I think!

Mind you, I also have to find someone to be president temporarily while I'm in Australia. I was going to say I already have every weekend in April booked up, but in all fairness, I'm not in the country for most of them.

I let myself in for all of this, knowing full well how much work it would involve. Well, to an extent anyway. But it will be really nice to give it up to someone else in July and do an easier job. But when I get to 30ish and have to leave, I don't know what I'm going to do with my time!
