An inspiring evening @ RAW last night. Lara spoke about Seeds2Trees involving increasing numbers in our community planting tree seeds, and nuturing them ready for planting. She stressed the importance of planting trees for future generations to enjoy, and their impact on our environment and health.

RAW members start the planting of 000's of self-naturalising Daffodil bulbs along Rotary Way. Other members began a litter-pick. Bulbs were donated by NCC and Rtn. Mike Wyllie. Watch out for the daffs next Spring. They will multiply over subsequent years.

Yet another great night @ RAW! Our guests were Laura and Liz from The Samaritans. We learned so much from them last night, mainly about how poor some of us are at listening, and not trying to impose our thoughts,values and ideas onto other people. Wonderful, but demanding work that the volunteers do!

RAW members, and friends, were involved yesterday in trying to clean up the very large Warkworth Beach. This is very much part of RAW's increasing role in environmental issues and our increasing involvement with local environmental groups. This was organised by Warkworth Green Matters events organiser Rotarian Llynne Russell and was part of the Marine Conservation Society’s Great British Beach Clean.....great job everyone!

On Tuesday 10th RAW members and their guests were introduced to some of the problems facing a number of women in our community. The Women's Workshop is trying to address many of those problems in many different ways. We were surprised to learn of those problems and the Workshop's programmes to deal with them. Thank you Angela for sharing your experiences with us. You seem to have created a great environment for socialising, learning, and enjoying life.

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.

Tuesday 13th August @ The Hermie
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 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. |
