Another great evening in the company of Rotarian Jim Barrett and his great knowledge of the world's wines. On this occassion we tasted some great sherries. We learned about the grapes, the soils, the fermentation processes and the reasons for the fortification with brandy. Thanks again Jim fot a great night. |

The past Rotary year has seen a magnificent step forward in the fight against polio. Since 2016 wild poliovirus has been circulating only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and this year there have been only 2 cases, both in January, compared to 82 cases in the first six months of 2020. Just as encouraging is that the number of positive poliovirus isolates detected by regular environmental screening for the same six-month period has fallen from 237 to 60. This is evidence that the level of circulation of wild poliovirus in the community has declined to the point that the epidemiologists of WHO are confident that eradication will be achieved within the next 3 years.

November 2019 Another 4000 crocuses planted along Rotary Way
Another 4000 crocuses were planted on Rotary Way this morning, lightening an otherwise dull morning. Thanks to Lord's Hire for the use of their brute of a turf remover, we were able to complete the planting within 2 hours.
When you see the purple crocuses next Spring, remember the millions of children who have been immunised against polio, thanks to Rotary and The Bill Gates Foundation.
Over 300,000 children per year were killed or crippled by this disease before Rotary started on it's quest to rid the planet of this vile disease. So far this year there have been 16 reported cases world wide.....so close to our aim! They will also look quite splendid!!

The dull, overcast skies along Rotary Way this morning were somewhat brightened by the high-vis jackets of Rotary Amble and Warkworth members, members of Inner Wheel, representatives from Amble Church and 2 young Italian missionaries. Everyone was involved in planting 5000 crocus corms to remind us all of Rotary's 30year bid to rid the world of that insidious disease polio which targets children and young people.
When you see the flowers next Spring, think of all the children throughout the world who have had purple dye on their finger to show that they have been immunised. We are so close to making this disease extinct. Our thanks also go to Lords Plant Hire in Alnwick for their sponsorship.

JUNE, 2018
Rotary Amble and Warkworth embarked on a community project to plant wild flowers in two areas of Rotary Way, each about 100 metres long . The sites were cleared, harrowed, rolled and planted with wild flower seeds (collected in Northumberland) in August 2016. Last year many seeds germinated and the areas were mowed and cleared in August 2017. Some pictures show planting at the Warkworth end of the Way and others are taken at the Amble end of the way. There are lots of daisies, butterups, clover, thistles and YELLOW RATTLE. - very important (it is parasitic on grass).
This year most of the perennials have come into flower and have created two excellent wild flower areas. And just to show what planting wild flowers can do, even on a busy roadside, we found the juvenile pheasant resting in the wild flowers.

November 1st. 2018 - More crocuses for Rotary Way
Members of Rotary and Inner Wheel recently planted 5,000 crocus bulbs along Rotary Way between Amble & Warkworth. Over the past three years the clubs have planted 5,750 crocus bulbs at each end of Rotary Way, the symbol adopted by Rotary International to remind everyone of Rotary's efforts to eliminate polio from the world. There are still a small number of children who develop polio each year and to eliminate this tiny number of cases is extremely difficult, and expensive.
2.5 BILLION children have been vaccinated worldwide since Rotary started this initiative in the Phillipines in 1979. The colour purple represents the purple dye placed on the little finger to indicate those children who have been immunised.........not every country has administrative systems like our own for recordind children's medical histories.
Rotary and Inner Wheel are most grateful to Lords of Alnwick for their continued sponsorship and support.

As you can see the children are loving the new area".
