 2005-2006 President of Holderness John Barnes identified Tweendykes Special Needs School, Sutton Road, Sutton in Hull as his preferred beneficiary. The school has 83 physically and/or mentally handicapped students, 16 of them in wheelchairs, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years. Holderness has been involved with the school, through Kids Out for some 14 years.
During the last Rotary year the club supported a wide range of events organised by all the Committees enable each to make a considerable contribution. Tweendykes Hot Road, with the Dave Challis Band, held on 20th May, was a particularly successful evening. The President’s wife, Jan, volunteered to sell her own special brand of Sherried Onions which proved very popular, making another valued donation. |

On 2nd July 2006, Wortley Rotary Club held its 10th Annual Vintage Vehicle Rally at Wortley Hall, near Sheffield. Glorious weather abounded again, with only a hint of a shower early morning but not enough to wet the ground; unlike Sheffield, apparently, (only half a dozen miles away) where there was a torrential downpour for nearly 2 hours. Over 150 cars, commercials, military vehicles and motorcycles were on display. To complement the World War II theme, there was a fantastic 20 minute aerial display by 2 Tiger Moths which flew in from Elvington near York and refuelled at Netherthorpe near Chesterfield before flying home. Other events included a birds of prey display, makeup displays and makeovers courtesy of Clarins (Boots Meadowhall), sidestalls, craft stalls and children’s entertainment. |
