He gave an overview of his work in Bristol and goals for Rotary. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>John arrived in Bristol in 1997 with the remit \u201cnot to let Broadmead die due to Cribbs Shopping Mall opening in 1998\u201d. He was instrumental in securing \u00a365 million to develop Cabot Circus and was involved in \u2018Destination Bristol\u2019, which developed into \u2018Visit West\u2019. Along with other public figures, John\u2019s house and cars were vandalised.<\/p>\n<p>The Rotary Club of Bristol currently has 51 members with an average age of 71 years. Like many other organisations, Rotary is finding it hard to recruit new members and to motivate existing members to take office and work enthusiastically. They are considering a Club for younger people with a different format \u2013 maybe meeting in a coffee shop and bringing their children along. Their current major project, led by Ian Beattie, is to raise \u00a360,000 for educating children in Beirut, Lebanon. They hope to secure global grants so that locally raising \u00a320,000 could be increased to the \u00a360,000 target.<\/p>\n<p>John moved to Yorkshire on 1<sup>st<\/sup> January 2020 where he bought a house and its contents from the owner architect.\u00a0 Thank you John for coming all this way to update us on the work you are all doing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 10th January 2022, we commenced the year with a talk by John Hurst, the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":584,"featured_media":5833,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-supper-meetings-read-what-our-speakers-have-to-say"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>We Welcomed John Hurst to our Supper Meeting 10th January 2022: President of the Rotary Club of Bristol | News | Blog | Events | SI Bristol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Bristol : Blog &amp; News : We Welcomed John Hurst to our Supper Meeting 10th January 2022: President of the Rotary Club of Bristol : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Bristol .
