 Creative youngsters will see flower beds they have designed displayed in Amersham this summer.
Children from seven schools in the town took part in the Amersham In Bloom contest to design beds celebrating either the London Olympic Games or the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Judges looked through more than 200 entries and eventually named the winners as Ava Rogerson and Vincent Lin-Chapman of Chestnut Lane Infant School, Finlay Hawkes of St Mary’s CofE Primary School and Harriette Carus of Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School.
The Entries were judged by Richard Langley and Pat Armstrong of the Rotary Club of Amersham, sponsors of the competition, Amersham Town Mayor, Councillor Mimi Harker and Councillor Jacqui Heydon and Amersham Gardening Club member Susan Jeffery.
Amersham in Bloom co-ordinator Steve Catanach said: “Judging proved very difficult, four simple but striking designs were chosen that would have high impact. “
“The children will proudly see their designs represented florally during the summer in one of the raised flowerbeds throughout the town.”

 And Now For Something Completely Different! and quite mad and a Great Fund Raiser For Your Club. Well, it’s not actually completely different because we have done this before. All of our Previous flyers had the thrill of a lifetime doing the ‘Loop’ and they couldn’t stop smiling. All sponsorship money raised will be split 50/50 with Wolverton and Stony Stratford Rotary Club and your Club.
How easy is that to boost funds? There must be someone in your Club willing to take up the challenge or maybe a family member, work colleague or friend. Remind them that’s it’s a donation to a Rotary charities and how it will scare the living daylights out of you, and you’ll find that £250 is not hard to raise.
Saturday Evening 26th May 2012 at the London Gliding Club, Dunstable Downs

 On Monday December 12th Past President Andy Griggs of Marondera Rotary Club, Zimbabwe gave a presentation on the progress of our project for the provision of a water supply to the Mushewe Vanhu orphanage. With the addition of a matching grant to the funds from Milton Keynes and our twin club in Holland, Helmond Regio $12,000 was eventually sent to Zimbabwe via Zambia to finance this project.

 It might have been a frosty January night outside, but in the Holiday Inn’s Orchard Suite on Monday night the room sizzled with warmth and goodwill when Rotarians met with local dignitaries and charity representatives to gear themselves up for the Swimathon on March 10 at Stantonbury. The Mayor of Milton Keynes, Cllr Allan Richards, The Mayor of Newport Pagnell, Cllr Wendy Egan and the Rotary District Governor, John Bromley were there and they were joined by a number of guests including Radcliffe school Head Teacher, John O’Donnell. (There is intense competition amongst local schools for the Trophy awarded for the most lengths swum.)

 On the 18th October 2011, members of Potters Bar Rotary Club, Roger Philpott, Doug Fussell and Pierre-Paul Tengwo gave a presentation about Shelter Box to the Potters Bar Guides, invited by the Potters Bar Guide Leader Janet Reid. Everybody enjoyed the evening judging by the amount of interest the girls showed during the presentation and judging by the pertinent questions asked during the session by the girls.
Following the presentation a large number of our members attended the Potters Bar and District Guides and Brownies Christmas Carol Service on the 1st December 2011 at St Mary's Church in Potters Bar. The Club members helped set up the tent as well as showing the items in the Box during the Church service.
A total of £784 was raised, to be sent to Shelter Box, and I'm sure this is just a start of a long term co-operation between our two organizations for good causes within our community and around the world.
