This is the third year I have been to this event. I love seeing the youngsters getting their certificates after all their hard work over the past year. The awards take three evenings to get through as so many schools and children participate which certainly shows the worth of the event and award itself. The award expects the youngsters to cover several areas of service and extension of their knowledge and skills. We were treated to several youngsters sharing with us their musical skills...

It was lovely to see people wearing their Paul Harris Fellow badges and chains (if only Peter and I had known, we would have bought our chains).
Good chatter was had over the meal and I appreciated the good...

A very pleasant evening was had at Bishop Vesey School in Sutton Coldfield where the Rotary Club of Sutton Coldfield made its community award presentations (to be repeated on the 7th and 8th as well). The Deputy Lord Provost came to help with the presentation. Over the 3 days more than 230 children will receive their awards.
Members of the Rotary Club have spent time with Year 6 pupils of local schools helping pupils prepare and undertake a mixture of community, social and physical...
