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

Rotary Club of Clevedon Yeo £500 donation to Clevedon & District Foodbank

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 work again from Clevedon Yeo Rotary. Members (and a couple of friends of Rotary) helped out with the recent Foodbank Christmas food collection at Tesco and then today we were able to present a cheque for £900 to the Foodbank which is the proceeds from our earlier quiz.

Good work today by Clevedon Yeo Rotary members by planting a substantial number of purple crocuses on the Roundabout by Aldi.
Why you ask?
Three reasons. To brighten up the town in the Spring, to highlight the work done locally by this club and to raise the profile of the fight against polio worldwide. Some of the displays are in the shape of the letter R for Rotary
Rotary Club Clevedon Yeo Purple for Polio Crocus Aldi roundabout 2023
Why purple? It's the colour that children in developing countries are marked with (on their fingers) to indicate they've received the vaccine.
Why polio? It still raises its ugly head in areas of the world so the effort to eradicate it goes on with Rotary working with the Gates foundation.
Famous Polio sufferers include Donald Sutherland, Alan Alda, Franklin Roosevelt, Mia Farrow, Ian Dury and Joni Mitchell to mention a few.
Just remember the above when, hopefully, we see a great display in the Spring

Next, we presented the Foodbank with a cheque for £800 from our fabulous quiz last week!
Our boat on the Tickenham road is now planted with winter heathers and has some crocuses planted around it to provide some spring colour and finally it's been our 6th week helping out at the vaccination hub at Clevedon school.
A brilliant effort everyone
Thank you to those who donated to our planting and local gardener Roger for his support and to everyone who supported our quiz

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

If in the spring you see a lot of purple crocuses around the town then they have been planted by Clevedon Yeo Rotary over the past few years. Our team were out again today planting some more on the ring road roundabout in the shape of a large R.
We will also be planting at some additional locations in the next week
The purple crocus is a symbol of Rotarys' effort around the world, with others, to assist with the vaccination effort and, hopefully, the eventual eradication of Polio.

Thank you Clevedon for the kind words and for the majority of people being courteous and polite.
Still disappointed with a few people who give stick to our team when all we are trying to do is allow people to get their jabs.
Some of the attendees have limited mobility and need to park close to the main school building

Clevedon Yeo Rotary are helping out (throughout October) at the vaccination sessions at Clevedon school, supporting the Clevedon medical centre staff.
It was truly atrocious weather for our club members today (assisted by a few key friends of the club) who were there all day helping those attending to park and access the venue.
The vast majority of people were appreciative of our efforts but we were disappointed by abuse from a few people.
We sincerely do our best to remain positive and helpful at all times

Firstly, we have presented a lovely vase to the recently retired manager of the Walton Park Hotel (Pat) to thank her for her help and support over a good number of years (see picture below)
And secondly, our green fingered team have tided up the Rotary memorial garden at the rear of the community centre.
It was in need of some tlc and now looks substantially better for our efforts which were rewarded with a pint at a local hostelry.
In the week when Clevedon Lions lost one of their stalwarts it is relevant to remember all of those people who have contributed to our community with voluntary service.

Firstly, the proceeds of our summer gardens competition were presented to David Fife of the friends of North Somerset Community Hospital. The money will be put towards the building project at the front of the hospital which will provide improved facilities for patients and staff.

Next, the club will be supporting Clevedon health centre in October by stewarding a significant number of vaccination sessions due to be held at Clevedon school.

We will also be planting several thousand crocuses to further improve our town and remind everyone of the tremendous efforts to eradicate Polio around the world, where Rotary has been a major contributor.

Other projects in the pipeline are an autumn quiz, the fantastic Christmas raffle and, in the new year a couple of other exciting projects.
Further details will follow in due course.
We would be able to achieve significantly more with an increase in our already incredibly active membership so...if you want to find out about Rotary please visit our Facebook page, have a look at our website and if you want to support our community by 'getting stuck in' drop our secretary a line at steviemolloy@aol.com

Well, it's back! The iconic boat planter was reinstated on the Tickenham road this afternoon. After the last one was stolen our President Bob has worked really hard to get another donated boat looking fantastic. A lot of hard work.
We would also like to thank Steve from CE signs for the Rotary sign.
We have also included a state of the art security system to prevent any problems in the future!
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.
We will also be planting a further 4,000 Crocus bulbs around the town this autumn

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

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

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.

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

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.

In the New year Clevedon United Junior Football club girls under 8's will be sporting new shirts bearing the Rotary logo after the local club, Clevedon Yeo Rotary, supported them with sponsorship.
Club President Helen Riley said "We are delighted to support an initiative that provides the opportunity for girls to play sport, which is good for their physical and mental health. This follows on from our sponsorship of local ladies rugby and junior boys football in the past few years"

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 .

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.

...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.

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!)

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

It is with sadness that I advise of the passing of Martyn Mills. I knew Martyn for a number of years in the guise of landlord of the Pier, The Beachcomber (now the Moon and Sixpence) and a member of the Beachcombers Jazz band. He was also an avid Rotarian for many years
I will circulate details of his funeral when known
RIP Martyn

We held our club assembly last night. It is held every year and is where the incoming President outlines his plans in front of someone from head office (only kidding Judy)
Well, we are lucky enough to have the very energetic and enthusiastic Tony Carrington carrying on in that role for another year.
What are his plans-Well really it's summed up in a this quick overview
"We want to continue making ourselves seen in our community, raising funds for worthwhile projects and organisations and helping, wherever possible, to improve Clevedon as a place to live, work and play"
(I think he borrowed Live, Work and Play from the Mars bar advert!!!)
We also gained a new member to the club-Welcome John
Thanks again to the support of all Clevedonians and we will continue to try and be a positive influence in the town.

Just a quick update from our club.
Here are a few recent examples of the use of our funds.
We have again covered the cost of the insurance for the Clevedon First Responders vehicles for another year. This is a fabulous local resource run by a great team that can help to save lives in the town.
We have also provided a cheque for £250 for a local lad to attend the USA in 2019 for a world scouting jamboree and supported two Clevedon School pupils, to the tune of £280, to attend a national debating event in Liverpool in June.
It is only fair that we let Clevedonians who kindly support our activities know where we use the money

The 'silver screen' is alive and well in Clevedon bringing joy to residents of local nursing and residential homes. Clevedon Yeo Rotary Club has supported the initiative with a sizeable financial donation.

Sam Jays from the Curzon explains
"Front Room Cinema benefits the local community in a unique way. People who may not have been to a cinema in years are given the chance to experience the big screen once again, in a safe and comfortable environment. The films give residents something new to talk about and we love discussing the experience with them afterwards. Residents comment that it is enjoyable and that they appreciate “the convenience” and “pleasant company”. We often have requests for a second visit before we’ve packed up the equipment!
We are extremely grateful to have received this donation from the Clevedon Yeo Rotary Club. Donations are absolutely vital to the project, not only do they allow us to purchase professional equipment to enhance the cinema experience but they also allow us to decrease the cost to care homes, allowing us to visit a wider range of locations.
I would like to extend a personal thank you, as the donation allows this project to continue to make people happy, and it’s a project that myself and my colleagues find extremely rewarding to be a part of."

Latest Clevedon Yeo Rotary Club news!
As a result of our fabulous quiz night we were able (today) to give another cheque for £750 to Clevedon and District Foodbank. A fabulous local cause. That means we, as a club, have donated £2000 to the Foodbank over the last 6 months!
One of our members (Rob) also picks up the donations from Tesco every Friday and delivers it to the foodbank
We have also given a donation of £50 to Linda Knotts' team of Gardeners who spruce up the town and reach the areas of town that Clevedon Pride don't reach. They will be spending it on plants and shrubs to brighten the town up!
We will also be covering again this year the insurance for the Clevedon First Responders vehicle and, in the next couple of weeks painting some walls on the outside of the community centre.

Great evening at the Walton Park hotel last night!
14 students from Clevedon school entertained a packed room with their public speaking skills on subjects as diverse as Doping in Sport, Safety whilst on line and Global warming.
All participants performed fantastically well and are a credit to themselves and the work being undertaken at Clevedon school to produce our citizens of the future. The three top performers on the night received Amazon vouchers and all participants received a certificate to recognise their involvement.
We should be proud of our young people and if this is a testament to our local schools' standards and values we should all be positive for the future.
Thanks go to the Walton Park Hotel for hosting the event, the Rotary Club of Clevedon Yeo for their work and to all of the participants for their tremendous efforts both in preparation and on the night.
A few photographs of the evening are attached including the judging panel, one of the speakers in full flight and all of the participants with their certificates

Last Friday's quiz held in a packed Friary Hall in Clevedon raised another fantastic sum of well over £500 which together with the residue of a Rotary district grant will ensure a cheque for £750 is given to the Clevedon and District Foodbank thereby making over £2000 (yes two thousand pounds!) donated to this tremendous local worthwhile cause over the last six months.
A BIG thank you to the Quiz master Rob and chef Yvonne who together with their other club helpers do such a great job putting the quiz nights together.

Secondly, on Tuesday 17th April at the Walton Park Hotel, Wellington Terrace, at 7-30 pm, we are again running our public speaking competition for pupils from Clevedon School. A great evening. All are welcome so...come along and see these kids in action

A friend of Clevedon Yeo Rotary Club has a disabled son who engages in motorsport with various other drivers suffering from both physical disabilities and PTSD.
They are trying to secure sponsors so please, if you are interested have a look at their website and/or contact the numbers below. It would be a tremendous boost for the team and great PR for Rotary or any other business locally to get involved.

Herewith is the latest update for Team Brit and their journey to Le Mans.

Message from the drivers dad-Dave Russell...

Please have a look at their website www.teamBRIT.co.uk and James’ facebook page – James Russell Racing.

There are a couple of options for sponsorship – Sponsor the Team (see their requirements below) – Sponsor James the Driver ( the cheaper option with attendance to a race meeting, brand advertising on personal race ware etc.).

As you will see this is a professional racing team looking to compete with able bodied teams on a level playing field. The drivers are all disabled to varying degrees with some coming from the armed forces and some from civvie life like James. The steering wheel technology they have developed allows disabled drivers to compete and their launch this year into GT4 shows just how competitive these guys are!!

Team Brit also have a facebook page.

I appreciate that Rotary may not be able to sponsor a Race Team but some Rotarians or other local companies may have an interest in promoting their business through a medium that upholds the philosophy of diversity, is committed to removing the barriers of disability, and can provide national and international exposure with a media reach of over 200 million annually.

Please give me a ring if you need any additional info.

Kind Regards

A little story. When we started selling the tickets for our Christmas hamper raffle to raise money for local good causes the very first ticket was brought by a lad who stated
"I'm living in the woods in Clevedon-This would be good for me to win" He handed over his £1 and was given ticket number 1!
Unfortunately he didn't win but his gesture to support local charities was appreciated.
It wan't until I saw the North Somerset Times this week that I recognised him again as Paul Spencer (see page 5) living in the woods.
We couldn't hesitate in supporting him and will be giving £50 to his Go Fund me appeal. We'd love to give more but we like to spread our donations far and wide and have recently given £1300 to the Clevedon and District foodbank.
Good luck Paul-Your generosity of spirit deserves it's rewards
Best wishes-All at Clevedon Yeo Rotary club
PS Come on Clevedon-It's nice to see you giving Paul your support
