Rotary goes to Parliament!

A group of Prestatyn Rotarians and friends visited the Houses of Parliament as guests of our local MP and fellow Rotarian, Dr James Davies. We enjoyed a guided tour around the Palace of Westminster followed by lunch in the Jubilee Dining Room and a visit to the terrace to get a riverside view of London.

Membership of Rotary brings with it unique opportunities such as this, as well as being able to contribute to making the world a little better while having a great time.

Our Christmas collection

The Christmas collection this year is going to support St Kentigerns, Prestatyn & Rhyl Food Bank, and Hope House. Some of the money will also go to the Rotary Foundation which helps to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. 

We are delighted that so many people, young and old, have come out to see the float. Your donations to our charity collection have been so generous. 

You can still donate to our Christmas collection by clicking the link below. Thank you.

Prestatyn Rotary Club brings water to West African school

Our speaker at tonight’s Prestatyn Rotary meeting was Past President Jean Smith. Members enjoyed a slide show of the opening ceremony of the borehole at Brikama Lower Basic School in The Gambia. The entire school with their parents turned out, the pupils looking very smart in their pale blue uniforms.  This was a project funded by Prestatyn Rotary Club during Jean’s year in the President’s Chair. Jean thanked all involved in raising the funds, with special mention to Torello Lounge who donated the proceeds from 2 quiz nights and to Rotarians Alan Booth, Amie Dop and Pete Dop. The project was also funded from a donation from our Christmas Float collection 2022 and a sponsored walk along the Prestatyn to Dyserth walkway.

The borehole pump is electrically powered, feeding a large header tank which ensures a regular supply to eight taps throughout the school even during power cuts. Prior to the borehole the school, with 3200 pupils, had only one water tap.
