Club members take a stand at White Waltham
|
Maidenhead Rotary Club members were out and about at White Waltham Aero Club for the final classic car evening of the year.
President Maria Scavetta, together with fellow Rotarians Marsha Elms, Ron Walker and John Hudson, represented Maidenhead Rotary and had a wonderful time meeting members of the public, talking about the work of Rotary and, of course, admiring the collection of classic cars on display.

Raising money for Rotary Charities
The evening also raised £100 through a raffle. Every pound raised will help support Rotary charitable activities and projects, enabling us to continue making a difference both in our local community and further afield. A warm welcome from White Waltham Aero Club The Maidenhead Rotary team received a very warm welcome from everyone at White Waltham Aero Club. The event provided an excellent opportunity to meet local people, explain what Rotary does and talk about some of the ways people can get involved. The combination of beautiful classic cars, the historic airfield and a wonderful community atmosphere made it a particularly enjoyable evening. A successful evening, £100 raised and plenty of new conversations about Rotary – a great result for Maidenhead Rotary Club! Thank you to everyone who supported us and to White Waltham Aero Club for making us so welcome. |
Visiting Rotarians given a warm welcome
|
It was wonderful to welcome visitors to our Maidenhead Rotary Club meeting following our summer break. We enjoyed a relaxed and friendly lunchtime meeting, with a great opportunity to catch up with fellow Rotarians and share ideas about our ongoing work in the community.
We were particularly pleased to welcome Stuart Taylor, President of Langley and Ever Rotary Club, together with Neena and Ashok Vasudeva from Rotary Club of Delhi Qtab. Having visitors from other Rotary clubs is always a highlight of our meetings. Rotary is a worldwide organisation, but it is the friendships and connections between individual clubs and their members that help make it so special. Sharing Ideas and Fellowship The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss our plans for the coming months, including our community activities (supporting Maidenhead Boundary Walk), fundraising, international projects and, importantly, our plans to attract new members. It was particularly encouraging to be reminded that, even as a smaller club at the moment, Maidenhead Rotary remains active and committed to supporting worthwhile causes both locally and internationally. Rotary Is Better Together We believe that Rotary clubs have much to gain by working together. Visiting other clubs gives us the chance to exchange ideas, learn from one another and build friendships that can lead to new opportunities to support our communities. Our recent visit to Windsor St George Rotary Club was a great example of this. It was therefore especially pleasing to welcome Rotarians from other clubs to Maidenhead in return. |

Club president visits Windsor St George Rotary Club
|
Maria Scavetta, President of Maidenhead Rotary Club, recently had the pleasure of attending the Windsor St George Rotary Club meeting, hosted by President Gareth Richards. It was also great to catch up with Ceri Davies from Windsor and Eton Rotary Club, making it an enjoyable evening of fellowship between neighbouring Rotary clubs.

Rotary is at its best when clubs come together to share ideas, strengthen friendships and support each other’s projects, and this meeting was an excellent example of that spirit.
The guest speaker, Alison Carpenter from Clewer & Dedworth Together CIC, gave an inspiring presentation about the work being undertaken to bring local people together through community events. One of the highlights is Rock the Rec, celebrating five years of music, community and giving something back to Windsor. The event promises a fantastic day of live music, entertainment, food, family activities and community spirit – a wonderful example of volunteers and local organisations working together to create something that benefits everyone. |
Centenary award for Maidenhead Rotary ClubThe club secretary is pleased to report that the club has been awarded our official Centenary Certificate by Rotary International.
This is currently being framed and will be officially presented to the Club in due course by our President. |
