Club News

The recent Quiz Night was great fun and a good time was had by all who took part.

It might have been April Fool’s Day but some of the teams were certainly no fools, with just one point separating first and second place in an enjoyable high-scoring contest.

The “Cars” round proved really challenging. Who knew how difficult it could be to name the makers of specific cars? That was a real head-scratcher for most teams!

The Quiz raised more than £170 for Faversham Young Carers, so thank you to everyone who contributed. It just shows that fund-raising can be fun!!

The Club was delighted to welcome two new members at its evening meeting on 14^th February.

Simon Moore and John Payne were formally inducted by President Dave Darby, who then introduced them to all the members present.

Simon and John have already attended some meetings and helped with the Club’s Christmas fund-raising activities.

As full members they will now be able to participate more fully in all the Club’s meetings and events. We look forward to getting to know them better and to making use of the skills and experience they bring to the Club.

The Club was delighted to welcome back Una McCabe from the St Vincent de Paul Society, a charity that Faversham Rotary supports. This charitable organisation tackles poverty in all its forms by giving practical assistance to people in need.

Una is one of the local volunteers and has spoken to members previously about the work of the charity in and around Faversham. This time she gave an update on the help that has been provided recently and she also looked ahead to the expected difficulties that people will have in coping with the increasing costs of gas, electricity and food.

SVP assists families and individuals in several ways, including help with money issues and friendship & support for the vulnerable and isolated. The volunteers can also provide information about other sources of help that are available.
