Members and guests enjoyed an excellent illustrated presentation from our guest speaker Carole Shakeshaft on Women's Suffrage celebrating the local connections.

Suffrage in Britain was a decades-long movement to secure voting rights for both women and working class men. By 1918 all men and some women could vote, but it was not until 1928 that everyone of voting age, received the right to vote.

Carole gave particular mention to Emmeline Pankhurst (whose husband Richard Pankhurst LLB a Lawyer and radical Socialist, is buried here in Sale at the historic Brooklands Cemetery), and their three daughters Adela, Christabel and Sylvia. Even closer to home Carole enlighten us on the lives and achievements of two leading Sale suffragettes Ada Hines and Lucy Fildes. A very interesting and informative evening – thank you Carole.

Thank you so much to Trevor Smith who joined with us in Rotary Fellowship and gave a great talk on Hearing Dogs For Deaf People. Drawing on his own personal experience on becoming profoundly deaf as a teenager still at University, Trevor provided a remarkable and moving insight into life as a Deaf person, the many challenges that brings and the great joy of “Hearing Dogs For Deaf People”.

Founded at Crufts in 1982, there was nothing glamorous or prestigious about the beginnings of Hearing Dogs For Deaf People, the dogs were trained in the living room of a founding member Gill Lacey, and they had just three members of staff. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Gill, Bruce Fogle and Lady Beatrice Wright – and their first dog trainer Tony Blunt – Hearing Dogs had a slow but prosperous start. Every year since, Hearing Dogs has grown in number and size, and today they are helping thousands of deaf people and people with hearing loss across the Country.

Trevor an early beneficiary of the scheme Trevor is now partnered with his third hearing dog Onyx, seen in the photos.

Thank you to all who supported the Sale Lions, Fathers Day Fete at Worthington Park, part of Sale Festival.

Sale Rotary Club was delighted to take part and really enjoyed the day – the glorious sunshine all afternoon certainly brought out the crowds.

We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who participated, played the games, joined in the fun, and generously donated. Your support is instrumental in making a positive impact within our community.

On display was an iron lung, this is both an aid to teach a new generation about polio, and an opportunity to raise awareness of Rotary’s International campaign to “End Polio Now”.

The iron lung is a life-saving, negative-pressure ventilator. It was invented in 1927 and widely used during the polio epidemics of the 1940s and 1950s to help paralyzed patients breathe. Thanks to the development of the polio vaccine, widespread use of the machine ended.

On 24th October we will mark World Polio Day, this was established by Rotary International to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis. Use of this inactivated poliovirus vaccine and subsequent widespread use of the oral poliovirus vaccine developed by Albert Sabin led to establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988. Since then, GPEI has reduced polio worldwide by 99 percent.

Thank you to Kelvin our guide and all the volunteers at the Greater Manchester Museum of Transport for hosting our Sale Rotary Club visit. It was a great visit, so much to see and explore, over 200 years of transport heritage on display. It was far more extensive than we had released, perhaps the reel produced by Gareth and Louise gives some indication of the scope and scale of the exhibitions and the large number of Trams, Buses and Coaches on display - if you have now been visited we heartily recommend it…..
