Ian Reid receives the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellowship, for showing Service above Self, the highest Award to Rotary Members

A Stratford Rotary delegation joined Town and international groups in the William Shakespeare Birthday parade. The procession started by the Swan Fountain. The Club President unfurled the Rotary flag at the top of Bridge Street. From there the procession continued to Holy Trinity Church where flowers were laid at William Shakespeare’s grave. A most enjoyable event to have been involved in.

The defibrillator part sponsored by the Rotary Club was officially un-veiled by the Mayor of Stratford upon Avon Kevin Taylor and Charles Bates the husband of Tessa Bates in whose memory the unit was provided.

The Rotary Club is pleased to launch the Community Fund, a sum of £250-00 will be awarded each month to a voluntary group, individual or organisation based within the town of Stratford upon Avon.

Paul Tomlinson, Sam Wheeler and Dudley Simpson erected the sign next to the grass area between the Crowne Plaza and Cox’s Yard where 4000 bulbs were planted last year.
