Fellowship The Wembley Wheel of Friendship By John Meehan, D9800 Historian Many Rotarians will be familiar with the wonderful tradition passed onto to every new Club in our District since 1964. Apart from a slight hiccup when RC Docklands was chartered in April last year, it resumed its journey when President Geri Charles of RC Port Melbourne presented their club meeting on 20 th April. As District Historian, I was present to relate the history of this unique tradition that really began in 1934, when RotarianTed Garner of RC Wembley, UK was host to many young Australian pilots in his home during the Battle of Britain. He wished to recognize the heroic part they played to save his country. When Ted was able to visit Australia in 1964, he had designed a trophy that he presented as a gift to Royce Abbey then President of RC Essendon. It was decided then that this trophy would be handed onto the President of each new Club in D9800 at their Charter event. Since 1964 the trophy, in the form of a small wooden bookcase containing an inscription below the Rotary wheel and a list of each club, date chartered and signed by the President, has passed down to 76 clubs and remains in good condition. temporarily to RC Essendon in May when members of RC Wembley Wisden (UK) will visit Melbourne to attend the 75 th birthday celebrations of RC Essendon and revisit many friends and memories of their long relationship.
