About our club Chartered in 1988 and twinned with the Rotary Club of Grandvilliers, Picardy, France. Membership approx 46 members. This is the home club of John Hockin, Past President of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland and Trevor Butterworth MBE the current District Governor of District 1270.

Rotarians weekly man the Age Concern mini bus to convey our senior citizens to their Luncheon Club and then return them home. The club has for many years organised the "Christmas Fayre" (which is getting very popular) and provide the Christmas lights and decorations you see throughout the village during December.
Each year the Rotary Club present a musical extraviganser at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum, East Kirkby, with such acts as "Kenny Ball & his Jazzmen", "AbbA Gold", The Sid Lawrence Orchestra". This year "The Passedena Roof Orchestra " and "The Batchelors" appeared on the same bill.
This event raises most of the club's funds which enables them to support many local and international good causes. Rest assured the club has played a major role in supplying tents and water purification aparatus to the earthquake victims of Pakistan and to the victims of the 2005 sunami disaster.

 
Latest Rotary Club project information

International Project "Emerald Hill - Lighting the way"


The Emerald House Orphanage and School for Deaf Children,
Emerald Hill
Harare
Zimbabwe

The Rotary Club of Woodhall Spa have embarked on an ambitious International project with two American Rotary Clubs, The Rotary Club of Marietta Metro and The Rotary Club of Roswell East - both in Georgia, the e-club of London Centenary and the Rotary Club of Harare West, Zimbabwe. The project revolves around The Emerald House Orphanage and School for Deaf Children which is situated a short way outside Harare.

There are 95 kids in residence and a further 240 who attend the school. All are deaf and the majority are HIV positive. Acute power shortages in the country means that these children are in "darkness" most of the nights. The deaf communicate by sight and when its dark they cannot see so cannot communicate, they just sit and wait for the lights in silence often than not, until dawn.

The project is to provide a suitable generator including an alternative source and the project costing include ongoing running and maintenance estimates. The project will be overseen by The Rotary Club of Harare West.

The estimated cost is $25,000 and we are advised by our partners that inflation in Zimbabwe is running currently at over 1000% pa. This is a major problem and why these children need help.

The project came to our attention by coincidence from two different continents - firstly via an e-mail from Rotarian Sally Platt of Marietta Metro and within a week or two we had a visit from Past President Mark Oxley of the Harare West club who attended two of our club meetings whilst visiting his sister Veronica in Woodhall Spa. Mark went into some detail and "sold" the project to us and we thank him for his presence at our meetings and we look forward to working with his club and with the other participating clubs to make this project a success.

Our International Committee chair Mike Roberts is co-ordinating things from this end and we must mention the e-club of London Centenary who have also been represented at our meetings - this is a new concept in Rotary and we recommend a visit to their website : www.erotarylondon.org we are looking forward to working together.
