Clevedon Yeo Rotary are again supporting local good causes with another cheque for £500 for the local foodbank today.

This was raised as a result of our recent fantastic quiz. 

We have also made other donations recently including £100 to the St Mungos homeless charity, £500 to the Curzon towards a defibrillator, £100 to the community Gardeners and £50 to the Bristol and WSM hospital charity.
In other news we have up and coming events including (hopefully) a charity race night and
we are working with a local venue towards a talent show for Clevedon later in the year.
Our members will also be stewarding at the Literary festival in June and the Childrens Hospice memory walk in October.
Just a reminder. We could do so much more with an increased membership.
Rotary membership is very inexpensive and allows you get involved with activities in the local community. The cost implications are less than a cup of coffee per week and you'd be ensuring this fabulous organisation continues its great work into the future.
It's not formal so park any preconceptions you have and take the plunge!
There is a contact us facility on our Web page as well as our secretaries phone number
Have a great Bank Holiday Clevedon
STOP PRESS. Our treasurer states that we have donated £3,600 to the Foodbank in the last 2 years. Brilliant work

Great news. Another large donation to a local worthwhile cause.
Clevedon Yeo Rotary have given £500 towards the provision of a defibrillator at the Curzon cinema.
The cinema has, in recent times, experienced several incidents where staff have had to rush elsewhere to get one of these life saving devices.

Pictured are club President Maggie together with Lisa and Gemma from the Curzon.

President Maggie said "We are happy to support this initiative which is possible using funds raised from our local events"
In other news please watch out for the 'Purple for Polio' crocuses around the town highlighting the initiative to eradicate polio around the world and the club will be running several more fundraising activities in the Spring including another fun quiz and a race night.
Remember-membership of Rotary costs less than a coffee per week

Thanks so much Clevedon for your donations in Queens Square last Saturday. We gathered nearly £750 in donations and we are still collecting at venues in Clevedon. Our final total will hopefully increase and provide more funds towards the Ukrainian appeal.



Our crocuses have appeared around the town including our new R for Rotary on the ring road roundabout. They are a reminder of the effort to eradicate Polio around the world.



We have also donated towards the cost of 7 roses in Alexandra Gardens (one for each decade of the Queens reign) planted by the Clevedon gardeners.

We have committed two substantial donations.

The first is towards the installation of a defibrillator at the Community Centre which will hopefully be installed in April.

We have also pledged a donation towards the costs of establishing a junior park run that is being put together in Clevedon

Finally, our fantastic Easter egg raffle will be appearing in several local pubs in the next few days. We'll post full details in due course

Its been a busy weekend for Clevedon Yeo Rotary.
Firstly, thanks for all the support from Clevedonians last night for our fantastic quiz in aid of Clevedon and District Foodbank. Early indications are that we will have raised over £500+
The foodbank needs a cash flow to help pay their bills and we are glad to be able to help.
Then today our team of stewards supported the fifth vaccination day this autumn
at Clevedon school
Most people are tremendously appreciative but we still encounter a few a grumpy and abusive people.
Please remember we are giving up our free time to help vulnerable people get their jabs, some with very limited mobility.
A little understanding would be appreciated
We only ask people to move their cars so that access can be maintained to the clinic in the main school building for those attending for their jabs
Stay safe everyone

We'll give it a few days to let the earth settle down and then start planting again.
Shame we missed the opportunity for a summer floral display but we thank everyone for their support.

Our club secretary, who has been giving talks on the Glastonbury Festival to groups on Zoom this year has just sent another cheque to Prostate Cancer UK for £2600.
That makes over £6000 raised by him for Prostate cancer related causes over the last couple of years
Secondly, we, as a club, are delighted to have received a letter of thanks from the practise manager at Clevedon medical centre for our help in stewarding at Clevedon Rugby club during the vaccination sessions. Almost 9,000 jabs were administered. A great effort by all.
Finally, you'll be able to recognise our members when they're out and about due to our new masks. We'll probably still need them next winter
Stay safe everyone.

Hiya Clevedon,
Just a reminder of our garden competition. Judging will take place in early July and entry is a mere £5.
All proceeds go to the Clevedon community hospital who have been brilliant during the Covid crisis and are a great local facility.
So...if you have a garden of whatever size and shape please have a go. We could do with a few more entries. There are two categories one for traditional gardens and one for gardens with a fun theme.
To enter please email our club secretary at steviemolloy@aol.com.
Last year we purchased an X ray viewer for the hospital. We'd love to raise a similar amount if we can

Hello all Clevedon gardeners.

A reminder that we are running our garden competition again this summer to raise funds for the Clevedon community hospital.
We have, however, received very few entries. We know you are keen Clevedon but everyone has been working so hard on their gardens and forgotten to enter!
It's just £5 to enter and the categories are formal gardens (that is anything of any size or shape) or fun garden (anything with a theme)
Please have a go to support this great local facility and their hardworking staff.
Just email our secretary on steviemolloy@aol.com and he will record your details and advise regarding judging and how to donate
Please have a go, brighten our town, be in with a chance of winning and help our local hospital

Help...if you can.
As you'll no doubt know our donated boat which we turned into a flower planter was stolen from the Tickenham Road earlier in the year. We did source a replacement fairly quickly for which we were very grateful but its been a bit of a challenge for our resident boatbuilder to resurrect it to a decent standard. Therefore our appeal is simple. Is there anyone out there who has another boat we could use.
Please contact our secretary at steviemolloy@aol.com if you can help.
Here is a photo of our stolen boat to remind you of the type of thing we're looking for.
Thanks and stay safe

Boat planter update.
The police have taken the investigation as far as they can. They have had some dash cam footage but its not of sufficient quality to ID vehicle or offenders.
We move on.
Is there anyone out there who has a fibreglass boat they would like to donate?
If not, we have a very nice man in Clevedon who is willing to make a boat shaped planter that sounds great.


PS Now secured a fibreglass replacement. Thanks for your interest everyone

Further update on our boat planter. It was kindly donated by a family in Clevedon whose father had passed away. It is just approaching the second anniversary of his passing and they, like our club, were looking forward to seeing it planted. They are understandably incredibly upset.
There are some heartless people out there

I've had a few contacts this morning asking where our boat planter is (as you come into Clevedon on the Tickenham road)
Well, between yesterday (when we did some work on it) and this morning its been removed/stolen.
I have enquiries in hand and I'll update you when I know more.

UPDATE. I have confirmed that its not been taken away by any of the agencies locally i.e. Clevedon town or North Somerset District Council so it has been stolen. I hope someone tries to use it as a boat because it has several large holes in the bottom which was to allow water to drain away when the plants are in.
It will be reported to the police and I have some information that may assist in its recovery. Thanks for your kind words

We are also trying to progress work on our boat planter on Tickenham road. It needs a little bit more soil and then we will plant it up very shortly. We are being foiled by the weather
Finally one of our members continues with his talks on Zoom to clubs and associations about the Glastonbury Festival. Donations are coming in and another large donation to Prostate cancer UK will be made this spring.

Even on Christmas eve there are loads of people working tirelessly for our community.

We as Clevedon Yeo Rotary, are proud to support the local Foodbank and today presented a cheque for £700 to the Clevedon and District Foodbank. This was raised as a result of our Autumn photo competition and an on-line Zoom quiz.

The photo shows treasurer Rob in his favourite Christmas jumper presenting the money to the Foodbank staff who are still 'beavering away' at their unit in Knowles Road today.
Money is important as it helps them to maintain their unit and cover the bills.
Can we also wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous and safe 2021.

Lockdown hasn't been all bad!
Since March our club secretary Steve has been delivering Zoom talks to clubs and associations far and wide, in fact all around the country, in return for donations.
The talks were on the subject of the Glastonbury festival where he is on the security management team.
He has now been able to despatch a cheque for £1770, raised as a result of these presentations to Prostate cancer UK.
Several of the club members, past and present, have been unfortunate to suffer with this disease and it was a great to be able to support this worthwhile charity.
Clevedon Yeo Rotary. Working hard for good causes
PS This follows on from £1500 donated to Southmead hospitals Prostate appeal to pay for a new robot to perform surgery and over £300 donated to the urology dept. These donations included a Rotary matching grant and were given over the last couple of years but the money was raised in the same way.

Today is world polio day.
Rotary, as an organisation, has worked tirelessly around the world, with the Gates Foundation, to try and eradicate this terrible disease.
The 'Purple for Polio' campaign has done a tremendous amount to raise awareness of these efforts.
Although our club in Clevedon have not planted any additional purple crocuses this autumn, over the past few years we have planted around 20,000 in various locations to raise awareness of the disease, that still exists in some small areas of the world, and to highlight the continuing efforts.
Especially relevant given the current health pandemic.

Final REPOST.
We have had a incredibly disappointing response to the photo competition and only raised a very small amount for the Clevedon and district Foodbank so here's a reminder Clevedonians especially as Autumn is now officially here

We'd like you to get your cameras out, mobile phones, box brownies and take a photo that sums up 'Autumn in Clevedon'
Then send them to our club secretary digitally (his details are later in the post) AND donate to the Justgiving page details of which are below. We'd like £5 from every entrant to this GREAT cause
We normally run a quiz twice a year for the local Clevedon and District Foodbank but that's difficult so we've come up with this way of raising a few funds. Yes, they need food donations but they also need money to keep their storage unit going. We've set a modest target and hope we can exceed it. Our quiz normally raises around £700 so the race is on. The photo can be fun or serious, landscape or people, sunrise or sunset. Send your best photo to our secretary at steviemolloy@aol.com with your brief contact details. Closing date EXTENDED to 15th OCTOBER and there will be a small prize for the best overall and the best under 14 so please, if you fall in that category put it on your entry.
Good luck and PLEASE help our foodbank to help others .

The Rotary club of Clevedon Yeo
Best Clevedon Garden Competition 2020
Thank you to all our Gardeners for your entry into the best Clevedon garden competition and thank you also to those who did not enter but donated to our collection for Clevedon Hospital Minor Injuries Unit. As a result of your generosity a total of £600 will be presented to the Cottage Hospital
Our judges felt privileged to spend a wonderful few hours wandering around the gardens and were very impressed by the standard of entries. There was a large range of sizes of garden and each garden was different reflecting the personalities and tastes of the owners. Many, many hours of tender loving care had been put into each one to achieve a high standard of presentation.
In the Fun garden class, the winner was Sandra Wilkins of Albert Road whose sense of fun and knowledge of planting was reflected in the many different elements of her garden from the range of hand painted watering cans to the fairy gardens and the abode of Elvis in the rear corner.



In the formal class, there were joint winners with two magnificent gardens, each a paradise for plantsmen and novices alike. Alison Coles of the Beach presented an immaculate garden of several different rooms
which were all stunningly planted with a huge variety of flowering plants and shrubs.



Steve and Miriam Thornton of Sunnyside, on a smaller site, have shown great imagination and an excellent knowledge of plants in their garden design and use of planting bring height into their garden creating a wonderful oasis of changing views at each turn.


Both gardens were a delight to the eyes.
All Winners received a small prize and a certificate.

The Rotary Club of Clevedon Yeo would like to thank Terrey Maufe of Outer Space Creative Landscaping of Clevedon who was one of the judges along with amateur gardener Alison Ainsworth.

Thank you so much. We hope to be back with this competition bigger and better next year

Just wanted to leave a quick shout out to Clevedon hospital walk in department which I needed to take my son to today. Would have been Weston General if it wasn’t shut. Appreciate this alone must be having a real knock on effect for Clevedon but it was a very positive experience, the staff we saw were lovely with my little boy (mild head injury) it was well organised and we were in and out super quick. Could have been a stressful one and so thankful it wasn’t! X

Clevedon Gardens competition

Right then, here we go!
Clevedon Yeo Rotary are looking to brighten our town, get people out in their gardens being creative and raise money for the Clevedon Cottage Hospital Minor Injuries unit.
They have been invaluable in the Lockdown by taking the pressure off the main hospitals, it is a facility which is an asset to the the town.
So...It's really simple
Go to our just giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/steve-molloy Donate a minimum of £5 and then send your details to our secretary at steviemolloy@aol.com with your address. He will acknowledge your entry. Put in your email what category you are entering.
Judging will be in the week commencing 15th June and we hope to get a local gardening expert to assist us with this. This is to give you time to plan your displays and buy some more plants etc from our (now open) Garden Centres. The competition will hopefully provide a financial boost for them as well.
There are two categories
Firstly the classic garden and second the 'Fun' Garden where you have used your space (however small) to be creative and imaginative.
There will be a small prize in each category with the rest of the funds going to the aforementioned GREAT cause.
So get digging, planting, mowing and sowing and let's see how much we can raise whilst having a bit of fun in the process. Every garden entered will be visited by the judges obviously aware of social distancing protocols.

Take care and Stay Safe

Big things to mention. £7225 given to charity this year so far from July 2019 to May 2020.
From a club with a small membership great work.
Several club members are doing what they can with Foodbank collections, work for the pier and work for community resilience teams/shopping for others
Several others are having to self isolate for health reasons but morale appears good.
Stay safe Clevedon and we'll be out and about supporting this great town of ours before long

...and there's more. As a result of our club secretary Steve giving numerous talks to clubs and associations about his role at the Glastonbury festival we've managed to send another £375 to Southmead hospital to support the work of the urology department who deal with, amongst other things, Prostate cancer. It would have been substantially more but as well as the festival being cancelled so were a good number of talks that were due this spring. That makes approaching £2000 raised and donated as a result of these sessions.
We shouldn't forget that hospitals need support for patients suffering from problems other than Covid 19.
Take care everyone and stay safe

Good news for the NHS locally. While the focus is rightly on Covid 19 other work goes on or will resume shortly. To that end our club donation of £1500 has been sent electronically to the Above and Beyond appeal at the BRI in Bristol which is to refurbish ward D603 used for radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.
The ward hasn't received an update since the 70's.
We would love to have a formal presentation but in these difficult times all we can show is a photo of the transaction taking place (actually it's a finger stunt double as our treasurer is shy!)
Take care, stay safe and support your local charities in their good works.

An update from your local Rotary club in Clevedon.
Being a small club with several members with longstanding health issues and a couple of members living outside of the town we have not been as active during lockdown as normal.
However-due to our fundraising earlier in the year we are able to support great local causes in other ways
Firstly our Easter Egg raffle was pulled from the closed Clevedon Pubs. We raffled one egg with the winner being the Landladies daughter at the Bristol. Well done.
The draw did raise almost £50 and we've donated the other three eggs to the Childrens Hospice South West at Wraxhall.
The picture below shows the socially distant delivery!
That also follows on from the cheque for £550 we recently gave the Hospice from our Bristol City Collection.
Next, we've donated £150 towards Clevedon Clothing Exchange. They operate out of The Barn and help to unite clothes that are no longer wanted with new owners. The money will offset some of their costs when they are up and running again and assist with the purchase of kit and equipment.
We have maintained our connection with our local Foodbank in Clevedon and are able to offer financial support to offset their costs if they need it. They are apparently OK at present although please keep donating items at Tesco you generous Clevedonians.
Now our big one. With help from a district matching grant we shall be giving £1,500 to Ward D603 at the BRI
Ward D603 cares for patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment at Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC). While wards across Bristol city centre hospitals have benefited from refurbishment in recent years, Ward D603 has not been updated since the 1970s.
Our donation will help tremendously.
We also hope to hold a Zoom social media meeting of our members after Easter.
Finally-One of our members has been helping the Community Resilience team in his village in North Somerset.
So please stay safe, stay connected with friends and family and look out for your neighbours.
We hope to see you supporting our activities in the future.

Rotary charitable work goes on...
We've sent a cheque for £550 today to Childrens Hospice South West at Wraxhall which was raised following the Bristol City v Derby match earlier in the season.
There would normally be a nice photo of the presentation below but we don't want to compromise anyone's health by doing that
So...stay safe, support others and remain upbeat and positive.
Now...go and wash your hands, pick up the phone and call family or friends to let them hear a friendly voice and to show you care.

I am sure it will be rescheduled when appropriate.
Thank you Clevedon for your understanding and, if you are a Facebook reader, please be aware of the appeal from the Foodbank today concerning the items that they are short of.
Every little bit helps when you are shopping so don't forget the Foodbank donation point at Tesco in Clevedon
Stay safe and please, after reading this, wash your hands and then phone a friend just to ask
'And how are you today?'

Busy day yesterday! Firstly, club members and partners visited the Helicopter museum in Weston Super Mare. Great attraction, very interesting, good guide and reasonably priced.
Then, later in the day, supported by a few great friends, club members held a bucket collection before the Bristol City v Derby game. Collections like this do suffer from the stadium and its surroundings being predominantly cashless but generosity still prevails amongst the fans. Hopefully we've raise a few bob for the Childrens Hospice South West at Wraxhall.
Those collectors that wanted to then enjoyed the game as guests of the club with a complimentary ticket.
Thanks BCFC and everyone that donated.
I'll post the exact amount when it has been counted.
Also watch out on our social media platforms for news of our forthcoming public speaking competition and another of our fantastic quizzes in early April.

Below is the letter our club received from Clevedon and District Foodbank proving that our recent donation is put to good use

Dear Rob and all those concerned,

Please accept our most grateful thanks for your lovely donation of £650.00 to our Clevedon Foodbank from The Rotary Club of Clevedon. We hope you enjoyed the Quiz night even though It is quite an effort!
Our Foodbank has been as busier than ever over Christmas and New Year. 200/300 Hampers and Lunch bags went out as usual over the holiday period and still there seems a steady demand for needy vulnerable people each week.

We still have plenty of expenses and special projects going on eg the Eat Well Spend Less courses for different groups of people. At present we are spending over £800 on rent for the warehouse and container storage for food which lasts most of the year! Thank you also for your help in other ways too.
We wish you a healthy and Happy 2020.
We really do appreciate you thinking of us and be assured the money is well used!
Yours sincerely,
Gil Mears (Treasurer)

Clevedon Yeo Rotary are pleased to support their local branch of Re-engage (Formerly Contact the Elderly) with a donation of £100– The club also provide practical help with two of its members volunteering to hold events locally.
The organisation arranges a tea party every month for older persons who are isolated from family and friends. This gives them at least one opportunity during the month to meet similar people and provides something to look forward to.

Volunteer hosts provide the teas and volunteer drivers collect the ladies or gentlemen and bring them to the host’s home. The normal number is between 6 and 10 at any tea party.

Monies received by Re Engage are used to provide entertainment at some tea parties, birthday cards and small presents on relevant occasions.
If you could help as a host or driver, or know of any older person who may benefit from a monthly social gathering please contact Alison on aea123@btinternet.com.

Hello Clevedon! We hope you've all recovered from the festivities and I know most of you are back to work.
Well, here is an update from the club.
Firstly we're starting to distribute some of the money we've raised and within the next few days a cheque will be presented to Clevedon and District Foodbank for £650 as a result of our quiz last autumn. A well respected and essential local facility that needs the money to support it's activities and to cover the cost of their premises, utility bills etc.
I'll post a picture of the presentation when it takes place.
Secondly, we're allocating £100 to the local 'Contact the Elderly' group. They provide friendship and support for older people who have limited social interaction.
Next......we've also got a bit more money to allocate and we'd like to hear from any local groups or organisations that need a financial boost to support a project that they are undertaking.
It may not be a large cheque by return but if we know who needs our help we can target our fundraising and our monies towards them. Email the club secretary (details below) if we can assist.
Please also keep an eye out for the 20,000 crocus bulbs planted around the town as a reminder of the Rotary initiative to support polio eradication.
New sites for the planting in the autumn included on the seafront between the bandstand and the sailing club and along Northern way in the verge.
The fairly mild weather we've had recently may encourage them to show before long.
Please be aware that the number quoted is a guesstimate as we didn't count them as we put them in!!!
We remain extremely grateful for the support of the local community for our efforts and would encourage all Clevedonians to keep abreast of what we're doing by following our Facebook page.
As they say in these parts 'Cheers me dears'

Quick update on our quiz last night. Early indications are that we've raised a figure in excess of £600 for Clevedon and District foodbank. A packed hall enjoyed a great quiz and a lovely supper. The money will be put to good use to help with the foodbanks bills.
We, as a club, will also be continuing our practical assistance to the Foodbank by helping them with the pre Christmas food collection at Tesco and continuing our weekly food collection from Tesco every Friday.
We have also supported Clevedon Community resilience with a recent donation of £50 to help with the purchase of equipment and finally watch out for our Brilliant Christmas hamper raffle. We'll be at the Christmas lights switch on, The St Nicholas Fayre on Hill road and Tesco in late November/early December.
A ticket purchased will help to support our local work in the community and get you the chance to win a hamper with £100's worth of festive fayre inside. This year the hamper is included. A great prize.
Finally, thank you Clevedon for your support and below are two photos. One of the winning team and another of one of our members working hard afterwards. It takes a lot of effort to put on events such as these!

Today, 24th October is World polio day. Who knew that?
Rotary, around the world, has worked tirelessly with other partners for years to try and combat the effects of this terrible disease through financial help, volunteering and through raising the profile of the campaign.
Our club in Clevedon have supported the effort financially but we are also keen that those less fortunate than ourselves, around the world, are remembered and that the Rotary effort is not forgotten. To highlight this we have planted in total around 20,000 purple crocuses around the town, over the past few years, to provide a vivid reminder every spring of this disease and the battle to overcome it.
This includes another 4,000 planted this autumn.
Purple is a significant colour in this campaign as a mark is placed, in purple dye, on the finger of those children who are vaccinated.
We hope to see a brilliant display next spring to ensure that those battling this disease and the efforts globally to eradicate it are not forgotten

The following is a quote from a recently commissioned survey by the Trussell trust into Foodbanks

.........The survey also revealed how deeply the UK public holds the values of compassion and justice, and the extent to which they act on them. Half of the public has taken action to address hunger and its causes in the last 12 months, with more than a third donating food to a food bank.......

We, in Clevedon, give tremendous support to the Foodbank and they will again be holding their pre-Christmas collection of donations at Tesco in November and December.
And our club members from Clevedon Yeo Rotary will be there to help.
The Foodbank also needs money to pay it's bills and cover other costs so we, as a Rotary club, as well as the aforementioned practical help, hold regular fundraising quizzes to raise funds for them.
Our next is on Friday 8th November at the Friary Hall, Marine Hill , Clevedon.
The cost is £7.50 p per person (teams of 4 ideally) to include supper and every single penny raised goes to offset the Foodbanks' bills. Please support our efforts to help others by coming along and having some fun.
There will be a licensed bar and raffle on the night
To book in your team please contact Tony on 01275-218987

Great visit to the Glede brewery in Clevedon tonight. Nice food, good company and a great tour. The only micro brewery Clevedon did us proud.
They are based in Tweed road and their bar is open Thursday to Sunday 1-6 PM.
We learnt some great facts about brewing during the tour from the lads who were very friendly and informative.
Glede is apparently the old English name for the red kite.

It started as a sad day on Tuesday when a fantastic number of club members past and present said goodbye to Angela Hughes, wife of ex member Neville Hughes, who passed away on the 10th August. The crematorium near Bridgwater was packed to remember a warm, funny, larger than life character. Angela was fondly remembered by all those present and the eulogies given were a fantastic tribute to her memory. RIP Angela
Later, in a mixed day of emotions the club played its latest boules match at the Bird in Hand at Salford against Keynsham. It finished 3-3 but we triumphed on points. A good end to the day.

So, here's a story. Clevedon town council gets a call from a resident in Jesmond road. She states the area in the corner of the park opposite her house is like a jungle.
She would be willing to plant some plants to brighten up the area but cannot do the hard graft (getting rid of the weeds etc)
So, Clevedon Yeo Rotary fires into action and we spent last night clearing most of the jungle. More work to do but a good start.

At our meeting last night we recognised the fantastic contribution by our President Tony (on the right in the picture below) during the last year with the presentation of six Crystal glasses. It's also a bribe as he's continuing in the role next year!
We are also looking forward to completing some more gardening work in Clevedon in the next couple of weeks and our annual car treasure hunt in August. In the autumn we'll be upping our game by engaging in a few interesting visits and continuing our charitable fundraising work.
Also, Just a few words for the premises that have supported our Rotary collecting tins. In the last year they've realised a sum of £228.73p. Brilliant!!!
So to all you Clevedon residents. We are going to shuffle a few of them around. If you're a premises who'd like to have one email our secretary at steviemolloy@aol.com
The tins don't eat anything, are easy to keep and every single penny donated into them goes towards our work in the town.
Thanks Clevedon

Great night last night listening to two inspirational lads from Clevedon school, Rory and Jack. They helped us host our public speaking competition last year and, as a result of that we helped to sponsor them for the European youth parliament debating event in Liverpool, where they went after Clevedon school won the regional heat.
At Liverpool one of the lads Rory was selected to debate in Europe and went to Mechellen in Belgium. A credit to the school and the teacher involved Mark Cullen. All supported by a financial boost from our club
Great work everyone

So...Where does all that money you generous Clevedonians give us get spent? Well it's end of year for us so here's an update
We raised in the year £8114!!! A FANTASTIC sum from a group currently, because of health issues numbering 8 active members. BUT what a fantastic effort from them.
Money isn't everything as we've also planted thousands of 'Purple for Polio' Crocuses around the town to remind everyone of the Rotary efforts in polio eradication. We've also cleared up various areas around the town, stewarded events and ran a public speaking competition for Clevedon school. Phew!
Below is the list of organisations who have benefited from our efforts
£1600 to Clevedon and District Foodbank
£1000 to Childrens Hospice South West at Wraxhall,
£500 to Clevedon First Responders towards their car insurance,
£1450 to Southmead Hospital Prostate appeal
£280 to Bristol MS society
£250 to the Samaritans,
£150 each to Clevedon Guides (towards a tent) and 2nd Clevedon Scouts towards a Canoe shelter,
£100 each to Clevedon Ladies rugby, Youth Mentoring, Greyfriars Friendship club, Contact the Elderly, Za Foundation (a touring group visiting schools. They're from South Africa)
£50 each to Clevedon Gardeners (the red shirts who brighten our town up) and £50 to Keighley Rotary club as one of their members was riding through our area for charity
This leaves a donation of between £3-4000 to go to Cancer Research UK from our recent concert.
This has been raised through Quizzes, Christmas Hamper raffle, Bucket Shake at Ashton Gate and many other activities including members own initiatives such as sponsored walks and talks to local groups. We also secured a matching grant from Rotary HQ for one of our initiatives
Our collecting tins are also still strategically placed around the town.
So...THANKS CLEVEDON...you have a small but dedicated group out there working to improve our community. Thanks for your support
And a PS we also collect the Foodbank donations from Tesco every week and deliver them to the Foodbank!

Great visit to the Childrens' Hospice South West at Wraxhall (where they undertake fabulous work) where club members Helen and Treasurer Rob presented a cheque for £1000 to the Hospice.
This was predominantly raised through a bucket collection at Bristol Bears v Worcester Rugby and topped up by club funds. Two lots of thanks
To all the rugby fans that contributed and to the work of the small, dedicated team that is Clevedon Yeo Rotary.
We also were very grateful for the assistance of a few 'Friends of Rotary' on the collection

Music to stir the soul and voices to touch your heart strings were in evidence at the Clevedon Yeo Rotary concert held at Christchurch, Clevedon on Saturday 11th May.
A packed hall enjoyed a fabulous nights entertainment from the Caerphilly Male Voice choir and guest soloists.
The concert was originally the brainchild of Chris and Maggie Morris. Chris, however, passed away very shortly before the event from Cancer.
The event was successful in raising a fantastic amount of money for Cancer Research UK and early indications are that a sum approaching £4000 will be the final donation.
Club President Tony Carrington said "I am proud of the hard work of all of our members to stage this event.
With some health issues within the club this has been achieved with a membership of eight active members.
We thank everyone for their support. I am also proud of our efforts in other fields namely a recent donation of £1000 to the Childrens' Hospice South West at Wraxhall and £900 to our local foodbank. Both of these were possible following our regular quiz and a collection at Ashton gate by these dedicated and hardworking members We also are grateful for the support of their family and friends"

We are happy to post a link for a family from Clevedon with a seriously ill boy that needs a little help. Here is the story.

Hello there.

I wanted to introduce you to Noah. A little boy from Clevedon who lives with a condition so rare it affects less than 100 people worldwide. Noah has learning disabilities and has congenital heart defects as a result of a microdeletion on his 8th chromosome.
I'm his mum and to say I am so proud of him is an understatement. We are fundraising to attend a pivotal conference in New York June 27th to 29th, with researchers who want to study Noah's condition and see if they can find the genes responsible for certain intellectual defects and health complications associated with such a rare genetic condition.
I would be most appreciative if you could help us raise awareness of our go fund me.
I can send the link on if it's something you would be willing to feature.
This trip means not only will we meet the researchers, scientists and geneticists researching Noah's condition BUT also a lot of the other families will be in attendance. Noah was diagnosed about a year ago and we've yet to meet another family with the same diagnosis as him because it's so rare

The link is too long to go on here so...go to Go fund me and search the site using 'Aimee Clevedon' and you'll get to his page.They have currently raised £1230 of a £3000 target
Help if you can.

Another 5000 crocus bulbs planted around town today. Tesco roundabout and on the ring road. Let's all remember those suffering from Polio around the world and the tremendous Rotary effort, with the Gates foundation, to try and eliminate it.

Give yourself a pat on the back Clevedon. Two of our club members emptied the Foodbank collection box at Tesco in Clevedon today (as our club does every week) and delivered the contents to the Foodbank in Knowles road. It was overflowing as you can see from the picture.

Well done you generous people!
If you want to support the Foodbank then why not come to our quiz on Friday 9th November
All proceeds to the Foodbank. They need funds to maintain their premises and store the donations appropriately.

Clevedon Yeo Rotary update
After a month off in August we are back with a bang!
Following a letter in the North Somerset Times about an overgrown footpath in Clevedon our secretary contacted the Town Council, found out where it was and two of our sterling members spent a few hours today strimming and litter picking at The Ripple. See the before and after pictures below. (I know it's not perfect but it is an improvement)

Also, at the same time, another two members were painting some more of the walls on the outside of Clevedon community centre.
Our other autumn plans include planting another 5000 (yes Five thousand) crocuses in Clevedon to raise the profile of Polio eradication and brighten up the town, another of our fun quizzes (details to follow) and our sensational, stupendous Christmas hamper raffle. We have also put one of our collection boxes into Sow and Farrow in the Triangle so that is 12 of the boxes in and around the town. Please give us your loose change in our bright yellow boxes. All money goes to local projects.
Finally we have recently continued with our sponsorship of Clevedon Ladies rugby team and despatched a cheque for over £400 to the Southmead Prostate Cancer appeal as a result of one of our members actions in giving talks on the Glastonbury Festival
