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.

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. |
