REEPHAM AND DISTRICT ROTARY CLUB

Rotarians Williams, Malton, Homfray-Davies, Briggs and Tym who completed the Three Peaks challenge have now raised in excess of £12500 for the East Anglian Children’s Hospice.  The money was recently presented to the representative David Oldfield.

A record amount of £2800 was raised at the Art tent at the Aylsham show.

Rotarian Richard Cook recently organized a quiz and chips evening for members and friends and a fun evening was had and raised over £300 for Rotary charities. 

Club members are hoping to be involved with the Reepham High school pupils, helping them getting Art into the community.  We are also hoping pupils may be involved with next years Aylsham show Art tent.

The club has now purchased filled and distributed 130 aqua boxes since the Tsunami.  These are distributed all over the world when disasters strike.

THE BECK WI

Sickness and family commitment meant that fewer than usual members turned up at Sparham's Old Scholl Room on Monday, 12th February. However, those who did attend enjoyed a most interesting, informative and often amusing talk by Martin Wynne.

After serving as  a Police Officer for 32 years, Martin has been a Toastmaster (beautiful red jacket!) he told us the history of the Society, and amazed us with the varied duties involved when officiating at a function, be it weddings, luncheons, conferences, Civic occasions etc. His attention to detail was most enlightening.

After our tea/coffee break, Aleathia read last month's Minutes. Martin's choice of the exhibits - 1st Audrey, 2nd Gill. The raffle was won by Audrey.

We meet again on Monday 12th March at 7.30 p.m. Our speaker is Russell Eden; subject 'Overcoming Adversities. The exhibit is a Home made Mothering Sunday Card.
