Annual President's Weekend Away

A party of more than 70 Amwell Rotary Club members and wives have just enjoyed a fantastic three days of fun and fellowship in Buxton, Derbyshire.

Staying at the excellent Palace Hotel, we were able to enjoy a guided tour of this beautiful town in the heart of the Peak District, a trip to see the ETO performance of the Magic Flute at the Buxton Opera House, a vist to Haddon Hall, some serious hill walking and an excellent formal dinner as well as having plenty of time to just relax and unwind.

Many thanks to President Eddy and June for hosting a great trip and to Alan Phelps for all of the hard work and planning that made everything so enjoyable.

More details and photos will be added to our main web site in the coming days but here's one to wet your appetite!

Stroke Awareness Day

Rotarians from the Amwell, Hertford Shires and Ware clubs joined forces on April 18th to offer free Blood Pressure Checks as part of the national Stroke Awareness Day Initiative.

Our thanks to Jamieson Hill Solicitors for the use of their offices and to the medical professionals who made the day possible.

Tour of The Somme Battlefields

Early last year, Jim Nicholson gave Amwell Rotary Club a truly fascinating talk on the Somme Battlefields. Following on from that, a group of club members asked him to organise a tour to see the Somme for themselves.

The Tour took place last month and, thanks to Maurice and Ron, we now have an excellent write up and some photographs.
