The new emerging Club at Wendover held their first fund raising event on 20th May, when they organized a Wine and Cheese tasting at the Memorial Hall in Wendover.
The wines and cheeses were kindly provided by Waitrose and members of their staff talked about the samples offered.
It is interesting to compare the range of cheese and wine during the course of a couple of hours rather than making a comparison with something you tasted last week. Also you meet wines that were a part of your life years ago - a Riesling, brought back memories of student and post student days when a wine from Yugoslavia was so popular!
It was an encouraging start for the members of the new club. There were more than 70 people present who, judging by the level of noise were having a good time. There was a raffle to help gather funds to provide a suitably inscribed picnic table and support for a hospice.
Coffee, tea and delicious cakes provided to end a most successful evening. Support was given by surrounding Rotary Clubs was much appreciated as it helped welcome Wendover into the Family of Rotary.
