Graham Clarke. A true English eccentric! Said the person sitting next to me in the Auditorium. I couldn’t put it better myself, so I’ll use those words verbatim. Graham entertained for 20 minutes, changing hats, telling his stories and poetry, playing some sort of mouth organ as a divider between scenes. I first heard of Graham about 5 years ago from his books and watercolour pictures. I gather he is a Rotarian in the maidstone area and his paintings feature on this years club directory, the confernce guide and I believe a calendar that is being sold. I’ve always liked his pictures for their simple, childlike detail that looks so simple yet I imagine would be so hard to create effectively.
This entry is part of a series about my visit to the Rotary District Conference. It might not make much sense on it’s own, why not start at the [first post][2] and read all the way through.
