Elpha Lodge residents are pictured excitedly awaiting the arrival of the Wetwheels catermaran into Amble Marina this morning. Was the wait worth it? ....of course it was!!!
Rotary Amble and Warkworth were so very pleased to be involved this morning; it gave us huge pleasure to see the excitment ......and the beautiful weather conditions. Our thanks go also to a great bunch of people whose idea it was to fund and build this super special boat and then to bring it to Amble. Days like today make being a Rotarian so rewarding!

July 10th, 2019 Charity Golf Day
Thanks to the generosity of Alnmouth Golf Club and the powerful forces that control the weather, 38 teams enjoyed a marvellous day at Foxton yesterday. The event, which is staged every two years, has raised in excess of £6000 which will all be divided equally between the GNAAS, The North Northumberland Hospice and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. Our thanks also go to all those players who took part and to those local organisations who provided sponsorship in various forms. Thank you everyone. The eventual winners on the day were the team from The Riverdale Hall Hotel & Restaurant, Belliingham.

Cllr. Jeff Watson, Civic Head of NCC this last year and member of Rotary Amble and Warkworth has been made a Paul Harris Fellow for his services within, and to, our community. Jeff gives so much of his time in the service of our community that it comes as no surprise to find that he is involved in many, many charities and organisations within our area..... far too many to list here......and all that is in addition to his commitment to his Council work at local and County level. The award is Rotary's way of saying thank you to Jeff for all his work in our community. |

Dr.Paul Creighton of Rotary Amble & Warkworth has been created a Paul Harris Fellow for his services to our community; a prestige award within the Rotary Movement. Paul is Chairman of the Projects Committee of the Rotary Club and over the past two years he has organised, and supervised, the development of the gardens at Elpha Lodge in Broomhill and many improvements to the outside area of Brambles Childcare Centre in Amble. He has also been very involved in the creation and management of our Interact Club at J.C.S. College. Without doubt his main efforts have been along Rotary Way, that stretch of road that joins Warkworth and Amble. He is personally responsible for the development of the wildflower meadows and has organised the planting of 11,500 crocuses along the grass verges, as a reminder of Rotary's continuing battle to wipe out Polio worldwide. |
