What a hectic few weeks this has been since the last
update of the website.
First things first: Please look at the "Projects"
page for the latest news on "Katherine's
Wood". This project is nearing completion. Our club did a guided walk
there recently. More about that and the project in the June Newsletter.
We are about to start handing out "Dictionary 4
Life" dictionaries to pupils of the Meriden CE Primary School.
This initiative provides each and every primary school leaver with a
dictionary to keep for life. A sample of the front page is shown on the
left.
The hugely successful
Megaride
2008 was held on Sunday 8 June. The weather could not have
been better, the riders could not have been more numerous, the people
could not have been more generous. It all made for a very successful day.
The
RIBI
mobile stand attracted a number of potential members. So "Thank you
RIBI for providing the mobile stand". Our thanks also go to the
Coleshill Town Band for their musical accompaniment. The amount raised
for the County Air Ambulance currently stands at £7,000. Many thanks to
all the riders and those who contributed so generously. Pity technology
let us down as the hoped for link-up with our name-sake club in
Connecticut USA did not materialise. It did not detract though from the
magnificent achievement of the day. And to the lady who lost her bum bag;
the raffle at our Tuesday meeting raised the money that was lost, so don't
worry! We hope to see you again at the next Megaride. There will be much
more about this event in the July newsletter, so watch this space as they
say.
Please go to our "Projects"
page for more info about our current projects.
Family of Rotary
Congratulations to Emma and Bruce for the new arrival

May at JILABI in Sheldon; Ian and Sheila Courts visit to Cardiff;
President Celia's letter; Report on the Fellowship Trophy; The walk
through Katherine's Wood; Time line for the Megaride; And there is the
