 Despite a very wet Bank Holiday Monday May 28th members of Epworth and Isle Rotary Club turned out with the infamous Teddy Bears for a stand at Wesley Day to mark the TriCentennial of Charles Wesley's Birth. Rotarians were involved with marshalling the procession and naming teddies on the Rotary stand. The Epworth and Isle of Axholme Army Cadets ( The President's project for 2006-2007 ) were in full kit to assist with numerous tasks. A lovely surprise was when Brigg and Goole M.P. Ian Cawsey came over to the stand and  presented the Epworth and Isle of Axholme Rotary Club with the Fairclough Homes Trophy for "Contribution to The Community" and told us the decision had been unanimous that we should win this for our work in Epworth and on the Isle of Axholme. Needless to say spirits lifted and the enclosed photographs show our great honour to receive this so early in the Club's life. (Tricia Barthorpe) |

 Lollipop people, Bryan Broome and Janet Wilkinson, were awarded Rotary civic citations for their exceptional work in the community by Rotarian Peter Castle at morning assembly at Kirkella Primary School.
The Headmistress, in addressing the school, said that they were part of the extended family of the school, always having smiles on their faces, in every type of weather, and essential for keeping the children safe on the roads. Peter added that they did a good job for the motorists too. Peter thanked the children for their work in filling shoeboxes and aquaboxes for the less fortunate in other parts of the world and told them about the work of Rotary in the local community. He then made the presentations to the two, who were obviously very well loved by the children. |

Senior Citizen's Evening organised by Humberside |

 More than 30 senior citizens have enjoyed an evening out thanks to the Rotary Club of Humberside. The weather was warm and sunny as a dozen Rotarians picked up residents from the Lees Rest Homes, Trinity House and Swanland House and went for a trip out into the country.
Everyone then met up at the North Ferriby Village Hall for the second part of the evening - sandwiches and cakes followed by entertainment. The event was co-ordinated by Rotarian Rev John Walker, who lead the singing of well known old time songs before showing off his skills as a bingo caller. What has been established as an annual event was enjoyed by all the residents, who said they're already looking forward to next year. |
