Dragon Boat racing 20th July 2008
Every year on a Sunday in July something begins to stir in the water.
This is the great day of Dragon boat racing where we hold our annual
event on the Thames.
The event gets bigger each year so help us celebrate our
annual event on the Thames in October at Canbury Gardens, Kingston .
The crews usually consist of 12-16 members plus a drummer, so
if you and your mates want a challenge, why not enter a year?

Kid's Out June 2008
The Rotary Kid's Out day provides fun and happiness for
special needs children. This event started in 1990 with Kingston, New
Malden and Surbiton Clubs in association with Littlewoods, taking 200
children to a theme park for the day. It has now gone national and in
June 2004 in excess of 25,000 special needs children plus 1,700
volenteers made up of teachers, carers, Rotarians and other helpers
joined in events on land, water, air and rail for a fantastic day out.
In the Kingston area for our 15th annual Rotary Kids Out we entertained
300+ children at Thorpe Park, on a Thames river boat ride aboard
"Richmond Venturer" and with a theatre group called "Oily Carte". All
the children are provided with T-shirts, caps and badges and are
transported in vehicles that are decorated with stickers, balloons and
ribbons, which certainly makes sure that it is a day that the children
will remember for a long time.
