The Thame Carnival

Sat, Jun 16th 2007 at 12:00 am - 2:00 am

Our club attended this event with a Rotary float.


During the parade our club members supported the Carnival's organisers in raising moneys in support for Martin Gadd's Appeal. The total amount collected was £258.20. Martin is a former student of Barley Hill and Lord Williams' Schools who was paralysed from the waist down following a fall last year. He has recently started his university course, with the help of a full time carer. The funds raised are for equipment and adaptations needed to help Martin live as independently as he can at home.  Please click here to find out more about Martin. 

 

The Rotary Club of Thame's float had a huge Rotary wheel on it. It was pulled by a vehicle kindly driven by Ian Williamson, President of the Oxford Spires Rotary Club.

 

Our theme was be "Rotary in Action - Famous Characters of Oxfordshire - Past and Present". The members of the public were able to enter a quiz to guess who these famous characters are. They saw "The Queen of Hearts", "King Charles 1st", "Robin Gibb",  "Tim Henman" and "Winston Churchill".

 

There was a £1 entry fee for the quiz - the funds raised will be for Rotary charities. The lucky winner of the prize - 4 tickets to the Thame and Oxforshire County Show ( 20 September 2007) - was Mrs C. Fieldsend of Thame.
