The 4 Ipswich clubs have opened a shop in the Buttermarket in Ipswich. Inside the shop is a sailability boat for the disabled which the clubs are heavily involved in, an opened-up shelter box and an aqua box. The Konnie Huq video is also continually shown on a loop.
The Club President of the Rotary Club of Sudbury, Tim McNeill has, with help from President Elect Richard Kemsley, organised a rather unusual TFL Grand Charity Dinner. The dinner is unusual in that everything has been donated by local restaurants, caterers, shops and businesses without cost. Two different wine negotiants have donated the red and white wine and a local firm of accountants have agreed to sponsor the aperitif. The flowers for the table have been donated by a local florist and even the table linen which, like the flowers, will be in spectacular red and yellow TFL colours has been provided free for the night. It is possible to see just which top local restaurants and other organisations have contributed by using this link to visit the Rotary Club’s ‘Grand Charity Dinner’ webpage.
The event is limited to 140 guests, with as much as possible of the ticket price (£35) being donated to TFL – the only costs as such being for the waitresses and the speaker. The Guest of Honour and Speaker is the Paralympic Gold Medallist Danny Crates.
