Wessex Mead (Trowbridge) Rotary Club

Members of Wessex Mead Rotary were raising club funds and supporting Trowbridge Snooker Player Adam Wicheard this weekend at the 4 day Beer and Cider Festival at the Rising Sun Bradford on Avon.  This Charity Rhythm and Booze Festival is raising funds for Dorothy House Hospice and we have taken the oportunity to be involved by running the BBQ on Saturday afternoon/early evening.

More than £90 was raised at the event and we would like to thank Liz at the Rising Sun.

SNOOKER star Adam Wicheard has followed in the footsteps of fellow Trowbridge cueman Stephen Lee by earning a place on the sport’s professional circuit. The 24 year-old, who went to Clarendon School, finished top of the Pro-Ticket Tour rankings to clinch his place. Wicheard’s achievement caps a sensational comeback for the Trowbridge ace, who suffered a career-threatening neck injury in May 2006. After recovering from having a tumour removed from his spinal cord, Wicheard is now getting ready to start life as a pro, but will have to play the waiting game before he starts marking dates on his calendar
