SATURDAY 22^nd FEBRUARY 2025

Wells & Mendip Museum on the Cathedral Green in Wells tells the story of the Mendip landscape and its inhabitants. Exhibits include a large collection of geological specimens as well as archaeological and social history artefacts. Opened in 2024, two new galleries tell the story of the City of Wells through the ages.

The Museum Trustees supported by Wells Rotary has called out to the local artist community to help raise funds to continue to develop the museum's exhibition spaces and maintain its beautiful building and collections.

The request is to supply 3 postcard sized unframed pieces of art in any medium with pieces welcome from all ages, from beginner to professional. All submissions will be displayed in the Museum Lecture Hall from the 21^st to 22^nd February 2025.

The Month That Was That Was October 24

October was quite a quiet month by recent standards for the club, that said though looking back across our diaries in addition to our normal routine gatherings there were quite a few project planning meetings looking forward into 2025

Supporting the Community locally

At Wells Rotary Club we are involved with various activities within the community, from working with young people through Kids Out, Young Chef and Public speaking, to organising the Santa Fun Run and Christmas Tree Collection.

Defibrillators - have we got any and where are they?

Conscious of the need for rapid access to defibrillators following a coronary event, Wells Rotary has been working to make these life-saving machines available to the public at all times. It is an ongoing project.

Wells Rotary has been stewarding the Festival for over 35 years: not only have we raised over £100,000 for humanitarian projects but also have seen a lot of amazing artists. We all have personal memories and highlights from the experience.

In 2000 Rotarians from Wells trekked out to a remote area in North Nepal to build a health clinic. They came up with the idea of holding an annual Boules Tournament to support the clinic and the rest is history.

Held annually in the Bishop's Palace gardens in the centre of Wells, the Wells Charity Boules Tournament is a fun event for all of the family.

In commemoration of the Queens Platinum Jubilee the West and East Mendip Ways were re-launched as a single 50-mile walk branded as "The Mendip Way".

Each week a team of listeners goes to St Cuthbert’s Primary School to listen to children read. It is so rewarding to see the positive impact on the children’s reading skills.
