JULY 2021
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.

Amble and Warkworth Rotarians completed the final phase of a 14 yr project to plant wild-flower meadows all along the landward side of Rotary Way. The last remaining stretch of verge was prepared and seeded ready for what we hope will be a glorious spectacle next summer. In addition, 40,000+ crocuses have been planted along the seaward side of Rotary way, serving to remind everyone of Rotary's campaign to eliminate Polio from the planet. Each purple flower symbolises a child vaccinated, and recognised by the purple dye on their little finger.

RAW members began the replanting and maintenance of the Town Square planter, socially distanced and full of enthusiasm.
We have recieved a grant towards the long term costs of planting and maintenance and hope to help refurbish the Town Square and make it a place people will enjoy........more in keeping with our new status as a tourist destination.
Members plant various spring flowering bulbs which we look forward to seeing next year. We plan to have a year-long sequence of flowering plants a shrubs throughout the year.

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!

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. |
