Introduced by fellow church goer Nialll Blair we had a visit from Sharon Lindahn from St. Johns Church, Little Marlow, who spoke movingly about The dreadful storm Melissa that hit Jamaica in October 2025. Pleased to say we gave a donation as it will take years for that country to fully recover.

Niall is a member of our club. Sharon’s family live in Jamaica, but her optimisim and hope for her beloved Jamaica over-rides this desparate event. You can see a devastated church on the screen.

Words fail to capture the turmoil….

As our Rotary Club works it’s socks off over the Christmas period we held our celebration in January! This was held at the King’s Head who put on a delicious spread for us: thanks to Toby and Team. We are really an informal Rotary Club!

Santa’s and his Float will be visiting these areas!
