Come and join us and surrounding villages at this delightful fete. Bank Holiday Monday 26th August 2024.
We will put up our Dome Gazebo and Flags so you won’t miss us! Come and take photos of a loved one in our Gold and Silver Throne. There are wigs and dressing up clothes. On a more serious note you can find out what we do and how we help communities both here and abroad.
We are proud to be supporting the Little Marlow Fete again this year. Bank Holiday Monday 26th August from 2 to 5pm
Sadly we had to say goodbye to the Rotary Rocket – safety issues. But we will have a throne for all to have a fab photo opportunity! Do come and see us and see the many projects and charities we support.
Nick and David have helped to raise funding for the Christmas lights and Bourne End fun night, liaising with the local shopkeepers and tradesmen and societies. They have stepped down after many years of community service. They had some funds left over which they have donated to our club and the Rotary club of Cookham Bridge.
Many thanks to both!
President Robin with Former President Johhas kept the Peace Garden project on track and is continuing the work on the Day Care garden in Bourne End and Flackwell Day Care Centre. (Nancy Ross Centre). We have donated quite a sizeable amount for the new minibus to carry the elderly and disabled in comfort.
We are entering the time when we ask those living in Bourne End and surrounding villages to write a poem for Peace. The winning poem will be made into a plaque and displayed at the Peace Garden in Penny’s Corner at the end of Bourne End High Street. The poem should not be more than 60 words long.
There was not a cloud in the sky when the Peace Garden at Penny’s Corner in Bourne End was formally opened on Saturday 21 September, International Day of Peace. This project in partnership with the Parish Council has been a truly inspiring one for our club. Principally funded by the Parish Council and Bourne End & Cookham Rotary Club, including support from Rotary in the Thames Valley District and Rotary International, with welcome ideas and donations in cash or in kind from other members of the local community and friends further afield. Throughout the months of planning, development and final construction, the spirit of cooperation and words of encouragement have made it a real joy to be part of. The number of people who have enjoyed the space once the safety boards came down bodes well for the future. Thank you to the Parish Council and good citizens of Bourne End for this great opportunity. It is so rewarding to see so many gathered here today to enjoy the formal dedication. Thank you all for coming and hope everyone enjoys the Garden for many years to come.
