Rotary Spring Clean comes to Ruislip Gardens!
|
In 2012, Rotarians across Great Britain and Ireland are working within their communities to create neighbourhoods to be proud of during Rotary Spring Clean (RSC). Rotary National President Ray Burman said in a message to all Rotarians: “There is just one thing I ask - please, at the very least, as you go about your daily business, look around you and become aware of your environs and judge whether improvements can be made. If they can, then let your Club and fellow Rotarians know and if you can, do something about it." Click here to see what we've been up to! Club members have been working like this every month for the past six months. Want to join in? Contact us using the form above |

Young Speakers Shine In Hillingdon Competition
 |
When you were 12, or even 16, would you have voluntarily made a speech in front of strangers, in a competition? No, well neither would most of us. But we watched 7 teams of young people, 3 teams in the 12-14 age group and 4 in the 15-18 age group do exactly that. This year's “Youth Speaks”, a public speaking competition for young people organised by our club in conjunction with the other clubs in our Borough (Pinner, Ruislip-Northwood & Uxbridge) was held at Swakeleys school 29 November. |
 |
Stiff competition was provided in both age groups, with Swakeleys School (above L) triumphing in the Intermediate section and Harefield Academy (L) in the Seniors. But really, everyone competing was a winner – to have the courage to take part and to conquer the nerves that always accompany public speaking was a feat in itself.
