The Month That Was Dec 25

The Gods were with us for the Santa Fun Run

Pantomime Visit

Nineteen Rotarians, friends and family members had a great Christmas social meeting. They met up at Rock House for drinks and nibbles (kindly put on by Richard and Sue) before heading off to the Sleeping Beauty Pantomime in Wells - which was great fun.

Guest Speaker

We had a great guest speaker - Rob Harper a Local caver - who visited us in December, he was a great very enthusiastic speaker and clearly loved his caving. His photos of narrow entries reconfirmed to most - no, all of us that we do not want to go caving.

Christmas Party

Another fun evening for all. We had a really lovely meal at Anton’s followed by a challenging quiz created by Andy Coulson. With teams of four or more it was a very close game and by only half a point, Richard Leworthy’s team won. We then had a secret Santa where everyone was a winner.

Santa Fun Run

The Gods were with us again, the weather wasn’t as bad as predicted and thanks to the fun run team and all the volunteers we were able to put on the event for a third-year running. We had over 200 entries, a big increase from last year’s 120 entries. With the additional footfall and visitors to Santa’s Grotto the marketplace was full of Christmas cheer. All runners received their medals and hats and enjoyed having photos with the Mayor. The (fake) snow fell as predicted and the children LOVED it! We have some amazing pictures on the Santa Fun Run – Wells Facebook page (or here) if you want to have a look.

A well spent weekend collecting old Christmas trees

Wells Rotary Club supported the Wells Community Day at the Cathedral on Saturday January 17th.

The many and varied Rotary-supported projects are one of the many differentials between Rotary and the other service organisations in our community.

Supporting Youth in the Community The many and varied Rotary Youth programmes are one of the many differentials between Rotary and the other service organisations in our community.

This year the Santa Fun Run was held on Sunday December the 7th.

With so many seasoned members, it is hard to spring a surprise, however this month we had a very special surprise.

Early in the month Adrian Clifford, a long-standing, valued and much respected member of the club, unexpectedly succumbed to a heart attack following recent by-pass surgery. A very sad loss of a member whose presence and many contributions will be missed.

Supporting the Community in So Many Ways.

An eclectic mix this month: Lifeboats, Hospice Care and Glass Making.

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.

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.
