Bank Holiday Monday 25th August was an amazing day for a British Bank Holiday. 26°C under sunny skies.
This of course brought its own problem which required shade. Fortunately our members came to the rescue with numerous gazebos and the extensive walled garden of Gosden House School offering its own shady areas for picnics under the trees.

Four hours of a variety of music was thoroughly enjoyed by all those that attended with refreshment by way of Rotary cream teas and a Pimm’s bar run by the School’s Parent Association.

A great deal of thanks goes to the School for allowing us to use the Grounds, the Parents’ Association, all the members of “Rotary Club of Guildford Wey” and Guildford’s Mayor, Howard Smith, for opening the event

Proceeds for the Raffle went to the Mayor’s charity for the year, The Cheryl King Trust,
Pimm’s Bar to the Parents’ Association, and Rotary donated sums to the Schools and their local charities fund.

On Sunday the 10th August we were pleased to able to help the Guildford Fringe Festival with marshalling duties in Guildford High St. The Guildford Fringe Co. had given invaluable help to facilitate the Diversity Concert held earlier in the year so we were pleased to be able to assist them on this occasion.

Rotary Club of Guildford Wey has donated £250 to the Shelterbox initiative supported by Rotary international. The monies were specifically to be used for relief required as a result of the Myanmar earthquakes of the 28th March & the 13th April

That the process for importing material aid into Myanmar has its challenges. There are few organisations set up to do it, and those that are don’t necessarily have the capacity or experience to cover large volumes.

We are working with Rotary colleagues and partners to overcome this, and we are exploring all avenues.

It appears that most organisations here are in a similar position. There is a great deal of collaboration, and information sharing taking place to enable all actors to implement projects.
