Members of Wych-Malbank Nantwich Rotary Club have celebrated their first year of being chartered.<\/p>\n
The club, made up of more women than men and with an average age of 49, has already raised over \u00a38,000 for local charities.<\/p>\n
And they have many more exciting events planned including a Gin Tasting Evening with Rodney Densem Wines. <\/p>\n
The theme for the night was \u201cJeans & Jewels\u201d with the competition for best tiara won by Sue Pritchard, with John Sims and John Poulson receiving prizes for their Rotary themed tiara and jacket.<\/p>\n
Guests took part in traditional party games before being serenaded by the surprise evening\u2019s entertainment in the form of Singing Waiters.<\/p>\n
Raffle prizes were donated by local businesses including Living Pure Natural, McCarthy\u2019s Salons, Darlington & Daughters, 34 Pepper Street, Romazzinos, Churche\u2019s Mansion and The Swan at Marbury.<\/p>\n
Organiser Jo Lowry said: “This was such a great night!<\/p>\n
“We have really enjoyed it and cannot thank Richmond Villages Nantwich and Willaston sites enough for sponsoring it.”<\/p>\n
Fellow member Clare Hoy added: “It\u2019s been hard work, especially keeping the secret of the Singing Waiters but it has all been worth it!”<\/p>\n
President John Poulson added: “I am so proud of what the team, and the club have done both tonight and over the past twelve months.<\/p>\n
“When we started, we knew we wanted to be different and break away from people\u2019s traditional idea of what a Rotary club looks like; you only have to visit one of our meetings to see how different we are!<\/p>\n
“I cannot wait for the next year so see what it brings and to continue our fantastic success.”<\/p>\n
The final total raised for the night was \u00a31,274.47 which will be donated to The Lighthouse Centre in Crewe.<\/p>\n
