Haven Welcomes GSE Team from District 3800 Philippines

During the period of 5th April to 3rd May 2009, a GSE Team from The Philippines District 3800 were welcomed to East Anglia as part of Rotary's world wide Group Study Exchange Program.

Our Haven Club were very pleased to host the team during their last week of their stay. Special thanks must go to President Robert, Leslie Seabert, Charles Lewis, Michael Self, Terry Ashbourne, Robert Lovick, George Ermini, John Burroughs and others who worked hard to organise a varied week of sight seeing and cultural visits and fun evenings. On the last day George Ermini invited the team for a trip on the broads on his luxurious boat. ( see more here )
