Young Musician 26

On Tuesday 13 January we held our Young Musician Competition in Luckley House School.

On 28 January we held another successful Burns Night at The Maidenhead Golf club. The evening started with the Selkirk Grace by President Graham followed by his address to the Haggis as shown in the photos. Lots of fun with an excellent meal.

All too often disaster strike in parts of the world that have little resources to recover and need outside support. In November we donated £1000 to WaterAid and £590 to ShelterBoxes (www.shelterbox.org) and Aquaboxes (www.aquabox.org).

Rotary clubs around the world has systematically set about vaccinating people to eradicate polio. We have almost achieved our ambition. Find out more.

We support local schools with both funds and equipment. Sometimes we combine with other charities to raise enough to buy more expensive items (e.g. minibuses, or fitting them out and buying laptop computers)

We have partner clubs in Gulpen/Vaals (Netherlands), Ingelheim (Germany) and St Nazaire (France). We have been enjoying exchange visits for many years.

During the last two years we have worked with other Rotary clubs (local and in Germany), to raise money for the new Thames Hospice. This support is on-going as we help develop and pay for the training of nurses and supply of garden furniture.
