Rotary Clubs in the Chesterfield area are set to celebrate St Georges Day with a special dinner in honour of England’s patron saint.
This social event is being held at Chesterfield FC’s Proact Stadium on St Georges Day itself, which is Wednesday 23 April 2014, 7.00pm for 7.30pm.
A traditional English meal of soup, roast beef, apple pie, cheeseboard of English cheeses, and coffee, also includes the historic ‘Ceremony of the Roast Beef’, which dates back to medieval times. As well as the toast to England and St George, there will also be an Englishness table quiz, mystery entertainment, and a good old singalong of English anthems.
Rotarians, their partners, friends, and Inner Wheel members, from ten local Rotary Clubs in North Derbyshire are joining together in this national day of celebration for our great country – England.
Lead organiser, past-president Geoff Mitchell of the Rotary Club of Chesterfield, said: “The Irish, the Scots, and the Welsh quite rightly all have their own national celebrations but for some reason the English seem a bit reticent about celebrating Englishness.”
He continued: “This year we are doing our bit to ‘raise the flag’ and hope that others will join in with their own national celebrations that could even extend the patriotic spirit through into the summer in support of the England footballers at the World Cup in Brazil.”
Tickets for the Rotary event cost £25 per head – dress is lounge suits. An allocation of tickets has been set aside for non-rotarians who are very welcome to attend – contact Geoff Mitchell via email at chesterfieldrotary@hotmail.co.uk

HELP ERADICATE POLIO WORLDWIDE
JOIN US ON A WALK ROUND CARSINGTON WATER ON
SUNDAY 27th APRIL
The Rotary Club of Wirksworth is organising this event for the eighth year and, with the help of our friends and supporters, are hoping it will be the most successful yet.
It’s a seven and a half mile walk around Carsington Water, starting at the Visitor Centre between 9.30 and 10.30 am. After 6 miles there’s a service point where water is available and transport back to the Visitor Centre for any who find the full circuit a bit too much.
It’s an opportunity for walkers to have a leisurely walk and enjoy the wonderful views, wild flowers and wildlife at their best in late April. There’s an information sheet for all walkers identifying points of interest to look out for during the walk.
This is a family event so bring your children who will be presented with a medal when they complete the walk. The weather has varied from lovely and sunny to wintry in past years but walkers have always enjoyed themselves.
We hope this year’s, weather will be marvellous so please make a note of the date and come along to support us and help raise much needed money for this important charity.
You can just turn up on the day and make a donation but we hope that you will get friends, family and neighbours to sponsor you.
Ring 01629 56305 for a sponsorship form or print a copy from our web site at: www.wirksworthrotary.org
Money raised by the walk this year will go to Polio Plus and any money raised by Rotary Clubs taking part can be treated as their own contribution to this fund provided they let us know how much has been raised so we can assess the success of the event.
