We were delighted to welcome back Gill Edwards of the Avon Centre, near Henlease, who has been a volunteer since it's inception.
She told us that for more than forty years, the Avon RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) Group has provided therapeutic riding for children and adults with a wide range of disabilities and impairments, visible and invisible. We aim to improve lives by focussing on the health and wellbeing benefits of bringing people and horses together.
Outperformed but not embarressed!
Although we lost the match we can be proud of our performance tonight and in the rest of the tournament. I hope that you have enjoyed the journey to the semi finals. Next year, who knows?
The teams got together for a group photo illustrating the friendly get together we enjoyed and we wish them every succes in the final.
Jonathan Chambers, seen with President Jeffrey, being presented with the Rotary Community Service Award generously agreed to be a lifeguard at our annual Charity Swimarathon every year for over ten years. On more than one occasion this necessitated him acting as lifeguard for the entire event immediately prior to beginning his shift with the Fire Service. On other occasions, he changed his shift pattern to enable him to attend the event.
The Rotary Club of Clifton honoured the memory of past Rotarian Keith Bonham today by presenting a £1,000 cheque to St Peters Hospice in his memory.
The photograph shows President Jeffrey presenting the cheque to his widow, Gill, and Jonathan Chambers who added his £300 service award to the sum. Also in the picture is Megan Austin of St. Peters who gave us an update on the work of the hospice.
