WERRINGTON ROTARY

Based in North Peterborough in ETTON, near Glinton.  It is our aim to help others whilst having some fun doing it.  We meet each Tuesday at The Golden Pheasant in Etton where we enjoy a pleasant meal and a drink or two, discuss ongoing projects with charities and projects in the local community, listen to speakers or plan the clubs future development.  We have female and male members and will always welcome anyone interested in finding out more about Rotary and our club. 

 Recent Projects:- 

Rotariswim November 2009

A swimming challenge where teams of up to 6 swimmers seek to swim as many lengths as they can in 55 minutes.  The swimmers were sponsored individually or as a team.  Half the money raised is donated to Rotary Charities the other half is sent to charities of the swimmers' choice.  The event was held at the recently refurbished Jack Hunt Pool - Thank you and well done to all who took part hopefully your sponsors will be generous?

 

Local Primary School Leavers Presentation

The year 6 pupils at John Clare School were delighted when we presented each one of them with a dictionary.  Members of the club attended a leavers assembly and whilst several pupils shed tears at the thought of leaving, it was an exciting and memorable morning.  As a club we look to continue our association with the school and look forward to working with the staff and pupils in the new term.

 

 Anthony Nolan Trust Recruitment Clinic

We worked with the Trust to organise a clinic for potential bone marrow donors.  A member of the Trust joined us for a meal and spoke of the amazing work that the Trust are involved with.  This talk inspired us to assist, each potential donor had to give small blood sample; maybe one day one of the recruits will save a life?
