Our club had a fantastic evening hosted by the Inner Wheel, enjoying great company and friendly competition in a series of fun bar games. A big thank you to our wonderful hosts for an excellent night!”

Once again, Hatton Rotary had a team of Nigel, Paddy, Tony & Jim to support Cransley Hospice’s Christmas Tree Recycling project!

We joined forces with the hospice and their incredible network of supporters and this year, they are expecting to raise over £24,000 for surpassing last year’s result.

Cransley Hospice recycled 1,500 trees last year, and this year they’re predicting an even higher number! This eco-friendly initiative not only raises essential funds but also supports the community.

Thanks go to you to our team who put in many hours driving to the various locations to collect the trees.

 The Santa Sleigh Charity Appeal Gets Going With A Bang

Many thanks go to Nigel, Linda, Jim, and Duncan for taking the sleigh to the event and making it such a great evening at the Wellingborough Christmas Lights Switch-On!

Nigel did an great job stepping into Santa’s boots, delighting many children who were thrilled to meet the “big man” himself. The team’s hard work paid off, raising £142 on the night, and with a generous £200 donation from Wellingborough Council, the total amounted to £342 for the SSCA.

Coffee and Cakes Event for World Polio Day

A big thank you to Michael Noble for organizing a wonderful Coffee and Cakes event at the Hind Hotel to mark World Polio Day! Special appreciation goes to Zoe for sourcing the delicious cakes that made the day even sweeter.

Saturday was a spectacular day at the Classic Car and Bike show held at Chester House. With over 130 classic cars on display, the event was a true feast for automobile enthusiasts. The day was filled with exciting activities, delicious food, and live entertainment, making it a memorable experience for all attendees.

A Big Thank You to Our Organizers and Volunteers

A heartfelt thanks to Jim and Duncan for organizing this wonderful event. We also extend our gratitude to Lynda, Nigel, Brian, Tony, and Paddy, who worked tirelessly to set up and marshal the cars, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

President Tony and Chris recently paid a visit to a hydrotherapy pool session at Moulton where Polio survivors were exercising under the supervision of physiotherapist Kirsten. Hatton Rotary has supported this programme, both financially and with direct help since 2017. Tony and Chris watched the exercise activity while keeping well away from the water. Kirsten took the time to explain the purpose of each exercise and the help it would give those who survived their earlier illness with Polio but now suffer the disabling effects of Post Polio Syndrome.

At the end of the session Tony presented the group leader for the day with a cheque to help fund future pool sessions.

THANKS TO OUR TEAM for the work, comradery, and a fantastic job.

Our team – Jim, Brian, Duncan, Paul, Eamon, Leo, and our cheerful supporter Alan Waller, thank you for your visit, encouragement, and coffee….

We still  have the slats to fix in place with the bearers.

Once finished, we will start our planting program of fragrant and colourful shrubs plus climbers.

We will also be purchasing a large wooden table to go  under the pergola.

Tony.

This past Sunday, Hatton Rotary teams, supported by our friends, were out in  force at the Waendel Walk, manning water stations in Findon and Ringsted. With the hot weather, these stations provided much-needed refreshment to the many walkers tackling the various challenging routes. Well done to everyone involved for your hard work and dedication! 🌞🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️💧

Spring has arrived so the team ably assisted by junior addition Orson were down at Isebrook hospital yesterday tending the garden in preparation for the arrival of a pergola aimed at providing an accessible, restful, sheltered seating area.
