 The Hitchin Pancake Festival, organised by Hitchin Priory Rotary Club is now in its 12th year and has raised large sums of money for various charities.
This year the aim is to raise over £10,000 for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth.
On both days, Saturday 13th and Tuesday 16th February the Market Square, Hitchin will be full of stalls selling pancakes, mulled wine, bric-a-brac and hosting various games.
The pancake races will be held on Pancake Day, Tuesday the 16th February. There will be races for men, women, fancy dress and estate agents!
The Club is hoping for a fine day which should encourage the great support they have enjoyed in the past from the people and businesses of Hitchin.

 In February the call came down from John Minhinick, chairman of the RIBI PR and Communications committee for nominations for the national PR event award. This award is for the event, that in the eye of the judges, has promoted Rotary in in accordance with the set criteria. It was decided to enter the Brickhills club for the Rotary Easter Showcase that we put on in Middleton Hall last year.
A 45 page report was drafted and submitted to RIBI headquarters. One month later we had a phone call to say that we had won the award jointly with Stanford St Martins Rotary club.

 "Do I need to register?" I hear you ask... well some of you, anyway.
The simple answer is, "No." However, you should register.
The District 1260 website is full of information on what clubs have been achieving, are about to achieve, and would like to achieve. Many clubs and Rotarians across the District are already signed-up and providing photos, articles and information that benefits Rotary and all the clubs across the three counties.

However, there are a number of extra benefits to Rotarians who register on the website:-

No longer need we postpone meetings because the President or key Rotarian is unable to make the date.
Recently a Brickhills council meeting had been scheduled but the President found himself away on business. so rather than cancel the meeting we did a quick bit of thinking and decided to connect via video Skype so that he could see and hear us and we could see and hear him.
