We were given a very interesting talk last night by Eric who is a great friend of our treasurer Geoff.
Eric is part of a charity in Whitby. It's 'The Whitby Lobster Hatchery' Yes he came all the way from East Yorks to talk to us. In return we had a raffle and raised £120 for his charity.
We were joined by a few guests last night who all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
We welcome anyone wishing to join or learn about Rotary. Our meetings are every Wednesday at The Swan Revived in Newport Pagnell High Street. Meet in the hotel bar at 7pm.

Rotary's annual display of Crocus is once again performing magnificently.
It's a symbol of Rotary's worldwide campaign to eradicate polio. The purple colour represents the dye used to mark the finger of a child who has been immunized.
Newport Pagnell Rotary will once again be planting more bulbs in the autumn 2026 to add to the display alongside the fire station and NP Orchard in Lakes lane.
We also have planted 4000 bulbs alongside the allotments in Olney.
Photos will be following shortly

Newport Pagnell Rotary Club spent a very wet day at the Xmas lights switch on in the High Street last Saturday. This was the third year we attended the event with our Xmas gifts tombola. All prizes were donated by members and their families. Some were handmade items from our expert nonagerian craftsman.
Unfortunately the rain did have an impact on the morning session, however it picked up later in the day and we raised nearly £500 for Willen Hospice and other local charities.
