The laying of a Rotary wreath at the Menin Gate in Ypres.
Sun, Nov 25th 2018 at 10:00 am - 10:00 am
Over the weekend of 23rd to 25th November 2018, ten members and partners of Leatherhead Rotary Club travelled to France to attend the annual soirée organised by one of their two twin clubs, the Rotary Club of Lens Louvre.
After staying in Ypres in Belgium on the Friday night, where they
also laid a Rotary wreath at the Menin Gate, the Leatherhead party made
their way across to the picturesque town of Gosnay, near Lens, on the
Saturday afternoon, where, together with members and partners of their
second twin club, the Rotary Club of Hannut Waremme in Belgium, they
joined over 200 members and supporters of the Rotary Club of Lens
Louvre, for the French club’s annual soirée, this year commemorating 61
years since the club was founded in 1957.
Having danced until the early hours of Sunday morning, the group
opted for a late breakfast the following day, before joining some of
their French colleagues for lunch in a nearby restaurant and then making
their weary way home to Surrey.
Rotarian Adrian O’Loughlin, who organises the trip to France each
year on behalf of the Leatherhead club, said he was delighted with how
well the weekend had gone and also the number of people present from the
club this year, adding, ‘We have had an excellent relationship with the
Rotary Club of Lens Louvre for almost 30 years now and always try to
support each other’s special events, such as the Lens Soirée and our own
President’s Weekend, at least once a year.’
