CLUB  SCATTER NIGHT

Members selected  local club Knutsford  as their venue for this evening, to share Rotary fellowship, sample their dinner menu and listen to their speaker for the evening. 

Below are pictures of seven of our members joining members of Knutsford club, where we enjoyed  an interesting  talk on "The fear of flying"

Pictured below with President Ian the speaker this evening was Dominic Tinner, fund raiser for the SEASHELL TRUST.  150 Deaf, Blind , Autistic childre and young people, many with severe and complex learning difficulties are supported by this charity.  There are 600 staff, and with the cost per child ranging from £100.000 to £300,000 per annum - raised mainly from generous charitable contributions.

Some of our members are marshalling at SEASHELL SPORTIVE on 15th September, an exciting fund - raising cycling event on some thrilling routes through the Pennines. The event starts at 6am and means a very early start for our volunteers, who are seen below planning the event with Dominic.
