Our keener cleaners were out yesterday as 5 willing Rotarians went to work scrubbing up the nature trail at Stapenhill Hollows. Fully armed with brushes, soap and hard work they took to the benches, signposts and anything else they felt needed a spruce and did a super job. Well done to all. 👏👏

More photos from our super weekend at Nidd Hall. Some of us decided to visit Knaresborough, not far from Harrogate. A very pretty place accentuated by the spectacular Viaduct reflecting in the River Nidd. The Rotary Club of Knaresborough has a strong presence in the town, celebrating 60 years of service to the community, including a coin donations bowl. We rested during our walk and enjoyed a scrumptious scone and hot drink by the river. What a lovely day.

No less than 30 of us came back on Monday from a super weekend at Warners hotel Nidd Hall nr Harrogate. We had a great time, food was good, company was better, and we were treated Saturday night to Herman’s Hermits. Needless to say the brave and the bold showed their moves on the dance floor. We drifted off into groups during the day and discovered our individual parts of North Yorkshire. It was indeed a relaxing time for us to slow down a bit and socialise away from Rotary routine. Many thanks go to David Buchanan for organising, and President Ruth James for keeping us in order. More photos to follow.

Many of you will recognise this former, and certainly prolific sports broadcaster Gary Newbon. He took time out today to explain to us his long time philosophy, “Never give up”. I’m sure most of us remember him from Central TV, reporting and interviewing sporting greats, such as Alex Ferguson, Mohammed Ali, Sebastian Coe, Brian Clough, to name but a few. He even came upon a rare opportunity to interview the Queen Mother during a documentary he’d commissioned in 1987. Of course, he had close contacts with many famous sportspeople over his 50 year career and they respected his drive and enthusiasm. His approach to his job and life in general is to follow your heart and essentially do what makes you happy in an effort to achieve personal goals, as he himself has pushed his way to the top of his profession by “never giving up”. It was such an inspirational and motivating speech. I think we could learn a lot from his way of thinking. We thank you Gary for your positivity. Shown here with President Ruth James, and long time friend of his, Rotarian Ben Robinson.

Dr. Gareth Williams, former Curator and historian at the British Museum, gave us a stirring account of the famous Fool’s Gold incident at St. Mary’s church, Stretton on Thursday. This event occurred near Leominster, Herefordshire in 2015 where two men, using their metal detectors discovered and subsequently unearthed a hoard of historic and valuable artefacts from the Anglo-Saxon and Viking periods. But instead of declaring them to the authorities they attempted to sell them on the black market. Dr. Williams, as an expert witness was instrumental in bringing these villains to court and as a consequence were jailed for their misjudged efforts. He told the story with much enthusiasm and we thank him for taking the time for Burton Rotary. The entrance fees were donated to the charity CRY (Cardiac risk in the young) courtesy President Ruth James, seen here with Dr. Williams.

Such an incredibly sad and devastating disaster in Nepal, caused by the floods of mud and debris, swallowing up their towns and villages, resulting in widespread loss of life, leaving so many homeless and in despair.
Burton on Trent Rotary Club have donated £500 to this unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and hopes it’ll go some way to provide some relief to the area and its communities.
