Ware Dickensian Evening 2008

The 2008 Ware Dickensian Evening was held last night.

This year's event followed the original format, reintroduced last year, with both Amwell End and Ware High Street being closed to traffic so that a large number of stalls and sideshows could be set up.

Despite it being a cold and damp evening, the crowds turned out in force to see Santa and his real live reindeer as they made a stop over in Ware on their way back to the North Pole.

Refilwe Community Centre

At a centre for the care and education of orphaned young children, often diagnosed with HIV/aids, a community hall has been constructed that will host many activities for the centre's children and an educational resource base for local people.

On November 20th 2008, The Rotary Club of Sandton (South Africa), working in conjunction with the Rotary clubs of Amwell, Hertford Shires and Hertford in England, handed over furniture, a public address and sound system and sporting equipment to the value of R90,000. (Approx £5,800.00) The funds contributed by the four clubs were supplemented by The Rotary Foundation in the form of a Matching Grant.
