Your Rotary Club continues to be active, thirty six years after its formation. Many of the current members are founder members and the majority have been members for over 30 years.

Our new Captains have now been inaugurated. We are delighted that the Captains Drive-in event in February raised in excess of £600 for local based GEMS Charity. A great start to their year!

Our February speaker was Sue Adams, who spoke to us about Healthy Feet. Married to a farmer, she had been an Ofsted Inspector of daycare facilities, but decided to take a change of direction. Following a tough and intensive course she gained a BSc (Honours) in Podiatry. Setting up her own practice and working in the community. She began giving talks quite recently to help people because our feet are so important. Yet we often take them for granted until we have problems.

Volunteers needed to launch Squirrels, the newest branch of the Scouts’ family tree.

After our taster sessions in January, we have had lots more ladies join us. We now have a membership of nearly 40 which is great!

Sometime ago, before Covid, we invited our Group WI (High Leicestershire) to a ‘taste and try’ evening. The first time we did this, we made or bought starters for everyone to try. The second time we selected sweets/puddings. These were both real successes, but our group secretary, Glenice, then asked when we were having the main course. Some people are ever hopeful!!
