Supporting St Margaret's Hospice

A well spent weekend collecting old Christmas trees

Supporting St Margarets

Ably organised and led by John, 4 teams supported by friends of the club, spent the weekend of January 10 collecting used Christmas trees from the BA5 post code area and taking them to a depot on the Mendips for shredding and recycling. Members of the public signed up on a web site organise by St Margarets hospice and paid a fee to have their tree collected. St Margarets then prepared and advised John and teams of the collection routes for the day. Each team comprised a vehicle with trailer, a driver, a navigator and 2 loaders. Post event we learnt that the club’s efforts had raised a magnificent £3,400 for St Margarets. Well done to all involved.

More widely the total amount raised across the County including all to the teams engaged in the project was a fabulous grand total of £47,052.

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.

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.
