Rules

Competition points are scored according to these rules - a trophy may be awarded at the end of the year to the club with the most points. Points for your club are won by:

  1. Visitors - The number in your visiting party - one point per member present.
  2. Relief - a point for each time the greetings box has changed hands since it was last with the visited club - so one point if you return it to the club which gave it to you, a maximum of 12 points if you give it to a club which has never had it, but NO POINTS if you have already taken the box the same club this Rotary year.
  3. You LOSE one point for every complete week you have held on to the box.
Snatching - if you fear the Greetings Box may be languishing too long with another club, you can win additional points by conducting a Snatch-raid. This is where, instead of waiting for them to bring the box to you, you visit the club holding the box and demand they hand it over. For a snatch your club wins these points:
  1. Visitors - the number in your snatch squad
  2. Relief - a point for each time the greetings box has changed hands since your club last held it
  3. You WIN one point for each complete week they have held the box

General procedure: Do inform a club president and/or secretary of your intention to visit several days beforehand - as would be wise for catering reasons anyway. If planning a Snatch-raid, you should assure yourself that they still have the box, and have not already arranged a Greetings visit to pass it on.

Please see that the log in the box is filled in when you receive it, and when you present it. Please also inform your Assistant Governor each time the box changes hands.
