Dragon Boat racingEvery 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 at Canbury Gardens, Kingston. The event gets bigger each year and this year we attracted the most entrants so far in our four-year history, 33 crews of between 12-16 members plus a drummer. A carnival atmosphere was evident from the fancy dress and headgear of the crews. Teams with crazy names such as Tequila Slammers and Hawaii-Wino-O's certainly kept the spectators amused, the bouncy castles kept the kids busy, and the refreshment tent, BBQ and Boaters Inn ensure energy levels were topped-up all day. So if you and your mates want a challenge, why not enter a team next year? The date is Sunday 20th July 2008. So contact us for an

Kid's OutThe 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. |
