Wessex Mead (Trowbridge) Rotary Club

The Wessex Mead 8^th Annual Bavarian Night dominated March for the Rotarians at Wessex Mead, most members were either bringing guests to enjoy the fun, or working at the event.Several of us dressed in not quite traditional Bavarian outfits spent the evening serving the guests with not quite traditional beer and food, whilst Karl’s Bavarian Brass started the party with not quite traditional music at 8pm and blew their last note at 11.30!  Caroline Smyth and her committee organized a really entertaining evening and over £1300 was raised.  This money will go towards Alzheimer's Support South West and the Wessex Mead Charity for a mobile health clinic for Street Children in Indonesia.

For information: More than 1,000 children made homeless in Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia and living on the street are at high risk of disease due to the absence of medical and dental care. The Rotary Club of Jogja Merapi in Yogyakarta, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Wessex Mead and the KKY Clinic, propose to introduce a mobile health clinic to provide a basic screening and treatment service. The project will cover the operational costs of running the mobile clinic that will visit six locations in the Greater Yogyakarta area each week.

We are also looking forward supporting Melksham Rotary on the 26th April 2010 with a sponsored Walk along 86 miles of Kennet & Avon Canal, it is in aid of Help for Heroes, Dorothy House Hospice and the K&A Canal Trust. The walk will be divided into 19 Sections for wide participation; Wessex Mead members intend to be walking 5 miles between Semington and Bradford on Avon.We hope that you will be able to join us in this unusual event.
