Latest News:
Members of the club accompanied by parents and teachers transported children from the Indigo unit at Wadden Infants to Horton Park Farm in Epsom. The Children spent an enrgetic hour in the soft play area before moving on to enjoy a tractor ride and seeing some of the animals around the farm. After lunch the children made heavy use of the outside play areas, one even got our President to the top of a wooden climbing frame before abandoning him to make his own way down, which he did with style and panache (see picture). Children in the Indigo unit have a range of special needs and the club is proud to support this important work. President Bernard Guilford said "We have supported the Indigo unit for a number of years. Indeed we provided a sensory garden for the children some years ago and we very much enjoy our annual outing to the farm. We also have the pleasure of taking them to see Father Christmas at Knights garden centres in December. These are indeed special children."

What is Rotary?
Rotary is a service organisation of business and professional people united worldwide to help those in need, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and work towards world understanding and peace. More than 1.2 million service-minded men and women belong to 29,000 Rotary Clubs in 159 countries and 35 geographical regions. Membership is by invitation. Clubs meet weekly to enjoy each others' fellowship and discuss ways to serve others.
Rotary embodies compassion for the underprivileged, the ill and disabled, who benefit from over 50,000 Rotary club projects in the world each year. It runs the biggest non-government scholarship scheme in the world and the Rotary Foundation (Rotary's own charity) gives more than £50 million every year to educational and humanitarian programmes which promote international understanding.
Our Parent organizations
All rotary clubs in the world are members of the umbrella Rotary International organization based in America. As a British club, we are also members of the Rotary International Great Britain and Ireland organization.
