SETTLE ROTARY - 2011/12
OUR CLUB is based in the picturesque market town of Settle, in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales. Our members are fortunate indeed to live, work and play in an area noted for its glorious scenery and they are glad to share the experience with visitors to the town and to our club. More about Settle.
OUR MEETINGS are held on a Thursday. We are currently meeting in the Lounge at Townhead Court, Townhead, Settle. This is an Anchor Housing Scheme, a short walk from Settle town centre, just up the hill from the parish church.
OUR CO-PRESIDENTS Chris Wilcock and Brian Jackson send greetings to fellow Rotarians and an invitation to join us for fellowship when you are in the area. (If you are intending to join us, could you please notify Michael Cullingworth (01729 823978)

Merry-go-Round 2012 benefits "Help for Heroes"
Co-president Chris Wilcock presented a cheque for £1000 to Aimi McNeill from Help for heroes after an informative presentation from Aimi at the club's meeting on Thursday 22nd March. The cheque was half of the profits from this year's Rotary Merry-go-Round. The event raised a magnificent total of £2000 this year, half of which went to the Settle Swimming Pool and the other half to "Help for Heroes" in memory of local boy Matthew Haseldin, who was recently killed in Afghanistan. The Rotary Club of Settle is also donating a "Matthew Haseldin Cup for Determination in Junior Sport" to Settle College later this year.
Collecting for Marie Curie Cancer Care - 2012
|
On Saturday March 3rd members of Settle Rotary Club with some partners and friends of the Club once again mounted a collection in Settle for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The cold day began with heavy rain to be replaced later with bright sunshine followed by rain again. A typical comment made to several collectors who were wearing the Marie Curie "Mad Hatter" top hats. "Anyone who stands out in this weather wearing a silly hat deserves a contribution" The great team of collectors garnered a wonderful total of £967.11 only made possible by the typical generosity of the people of Settle. Our picture shows Joan Procter braving the elements. |

Settle Rotary Art Competition - Awards 2011
The Rotary Club of Settle has awarded the prizes in its first "Helping Others" Art Competition, sponsored by Goad and Butcher Solicitors. The prize-winners in each Key Stage were given their vouchers for £50 (1st) and £30 (2nd) at Rathmell Primary School, which was the only school to enter this inaugural competition. Headteacher, Christine Boxall, had arranged for the Cave Rescue Organisation, who were the theme of this years competition, to visit the school in the summer. Local artist, Margaret Blackburne, who judged the paintings, said this had shown up in their work and praised their ability to show the members of CRO at work helping others. CRO members Sean Whittle and Pam Hicken thanked the children for their support and reminded them of the many aspects of the teams work. ( www.cro.org.uk )
