RAW members were out in high-viz again yesterday @ Red Row Vintage Rally. We managed to keep our gazebo on terra firma despite the wind, and had a great time until the rain started. We met many nice people and saw many vehicles which were once commonplace to some of us older members - cars we once owned, learnt to drive in, drove as part of jobs and those we often wished for. Great day Rally organisers, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Emily Ross from the Stronger Shores Project outlined the policy of using seagrass, kelp and oysters to strengthen our shorelines - particularly up here in the NE where an abundance of these things has gone seen a very serious decline.
Strengthen these and we could be improving water quality and reducing risks of flooding.

Another great night @ Rotary Amble and Warkworth!
Members, families and friends put together 11 teams to complete our Treasure Hunt around the village of Warkworth. We were blessed with a fine, dry evening with everyone eventually finishing at Warkworth Cricket Club for a Bar-B-Q supper. There were loads of children who controlled their parents very well.
The winners were "Team Top Dogs" who claimed the "Treasure".

Another eventful and enjoyable evening @ The Hermitage Inn, with our speaker Matty Cairns from the Northumberland Fire and Rescue. His information was reassuring and positive about the future of the service and about the direction in which it is moving. There were also cautionary tales - I will no longer leave my phone charging overnight!!!
Sharing the evening with us were 10 visitors from Rotary Morpeth.
The evening was made even better when President Trevor welcomed two new members to our group, Julia and Lynne. Their interests in the environment will take RAW even further along that path.

Fiona Sample, CEO of the Oswin Project talked to Amble and Warkworth Rotary club about the work of this charity. Working with prisoners in HMP Northumberland, as well as ex-offenders who have completed their prison sentences, the charity offers second chances to people through mentoring, training and employment in the North East of England. Rotarians heard about the cafe and farm shops that the charity runs in HMP Northumberland, the cafe in Newcastle Cathedral, as well as the Inside & Out landscaping and gardening projects. Fiona talked about how these projects are making a positive difference on the lives of these individuals, as well as the impact it is also making for Society by reducing re-offending. |

RAW members, led and inspired by Dr.Paul Creighton, worked for over 14 years to create a safe, pleasant and environmentally friendly area which could be enjoyed by both communities and all the visitors which now come to our area. That effort involved planting wildflower areas, 20,000+ crocuses, poppies and all the new assorted wildlife. That effort has now been recognised by Rotary North East, with the award of the District Environmental award.
