LOCAL CHARITIES APPEAL

After raising a huge amount of money for a sponsored SKY DIVE in 2019 in aid of Support Dogs, Rotarian Trevor Eastwood has now been challenged to do the INFINITY BRIDGE HIGH WIRE WALK 1000ft above the Honister Pass in the Lake District - the longest high wire walk in Europe! This will take place on Saturday 25th September 2021 at 1.30 pm.

The many charities that we support each year including Bury Hospice, Mencap and De-CaFF have all suffered greatly due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic!

PLEASE help us to support them by sponsoring Trevor and his daughters Tina and Tracy (who are also raising funds) to complete this challenge.

DONATIONS CAN BE MADE ONLINE AT gofund.me/45e537d3

Forthcoming Meetings on Zoom

(usually at 7 pm)

(For Rotarians: For the time being, our Business meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month)

When normal meetings resume we will have a Business meeting for Rotarians on the First WEDNESDAY with other meetings/events/projects on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of the month open to all.

On 3rd weeks in the month we undertake various community projects, at present including helping out at Pets in Need (Mondays), St John's Garden/churchyard maintainance (most Wednesday mornings, if not wet). Also some litter picks. Contact for details.

Some of us are also helping at Tottington Centre with the voluntary library service to replace that relinquished by the local council in December 2017. Following Covid lockdown the library is beginning to re-open, Mondays to Fridays from 10.30 am (plus Saturday mornings). The cafe will re-open at some stage under new management.

With much help from Tottington Primary School Year 5, we are continuing our project to develop Whitehead Gardens, Tottington . Eventually, we hope to have a pleasanter park to visit and to make it part of a Tottington History Trail. Now we have secured pump funding, Proffitts are looking for extensive funding and have produced early plans. We welcome any ideas that you may have.
