Before I joined Rotary officially I helped at my local club with charitable working party activities for a few years and thoroughly enjoyed them. In addition my wife and I supported and enjoyed social and fund raising events. During this time I was still working and involved in other charitable trusts also I was a swimming coach. It was at this point that I decided that the Rotary club of Ewell members had heart, fantastic fellowship and a strong will to help others so I took the plunge and joined the club. I have now been in the club for a number of years and never looked back.
