Simon King (on the
right) demonstrated the principles of 'Proprioceptive
Medicine' on a volunteer from the Club, Rotarian John Skrimshire.
The importance of muscles and their role in well-being of the
individual was highlighted. Most of our "voluntary"
movements are not under conscious control. Up to 90% of muscle
activity is controlled via the complex system of checks and balances
called proprioception - the sense that arises from the skin,
muscles, ligaments and joints. It is concerned with the ability to
stabilise, hold, position and maintain any movement, any time.

Bob Meredith gave
an excellent insight into Potatoes - covering a wide range of issues
such as their origin, history, production and consumption. Bob
has spent many years in the industry. He was the co-creator and
proprietor of 'Potato Review'
- a bi-monthly journal. In the UK, we
consume about 110 Kg/head per year - and two members of our Club
probably contribute to this figure significantly. UN has declared
2008 to be the International
Year of the potato. [18 Feb 2008]

Virtues of
Community Service in the Criminal Justice system were highlighted
with an interactive session by a Probation Officer ( Lynda Bowell,
left) and a Magistrate (Clare Hewes, right). Several aspects
of a case were considered, and hotly debated. Apparently, the cost
of keeping a prisoner is £37,000 per year.
