Canal-side walk and Sunday Lunch

It was a beautiful day for an autumnal walk along the Grand Union Canal with club members, their families and friends of our club. We were delighted to welcome Karen Stephens, a  past member and catch up on her news; meet twins James and Emily for the first time with their brother Alfie and father Darren, great to see them all.

Altogether were 12 adults and 3 children who enjoyed the delightful stroll along the canal and then dined at the historic Boat Inn.

Enjoyed by all...to be repeated certainly.

MacMillan Coffee morning 2016

Macmillan coffee morning 2016 was fun, right from the outset. Graham with spatula in hand flipping bacon taking in pre-orders for bacon butties; Helen R sorting out the raffle table, along with raffles she drummed up from various shops; Alison being the perfect host; Helen D laden the table with delicious treats which she baked up a storm; along with cakes, biscuits and muffins, contributed from many of us as well as a lovely homemade cake Alison’s mum provided and me with a finger in many ‘cakes’.

Smell of coffee, bacon and sweet treats greeted our guests. In they poured and did well to help us support the Macmillan cause that sunny morning. In two hours we raised more than last year. A great result  as we raised over £260 and that reflects how much this illness has affected people and why we run it every year.  So a BIG thank you for all those that participated, contributed and we hope to see you next year.

Ian Sandiford inducted as a new club member

 Ian was inducted by our President Sue as the clubs' newest member last night. As a friend of Alison he has already attended several of our  social and fundraising events in addition tothe club business meetings.

Ian brings a variety of skills to the club in the areas of management, IT and car restoration which will come in handy refurbishing our Santa Float.

As an experienced volunteer he will fit right in with the clubs programme of community work and no doubt add to our breadth of experience in theis area.

Welcome Ian.

We were delighted to induct a new member in September, Sandra Forbes, pictured here with Sue Carbert President.

Sandra is already known to the club having supported us in some of our fund raising events last Rotary year and therefore we are delighted she has decided  to become a member of the Rotary family.

We wish her every happiness in the club and look forward to seeing her at future events.

Bring along some cake / biscuits if you want, but most importantly, bring yourself, perhaps a friend and some money, as we'll have a raffle as well as the usual donations for a cake / drink.

Hopefully the weather will be nice, and we'll be in the garden, but whatever the weather, we will have cake.

Pub of the Month July

British summer greeted us at our first Pub-of-the-Month to our joy. Firstly we sat and enjoyed the sun's rays from The Swan's beautiful beer garden. Elizabeth kindly joined us for pre-drinks before her wine evening. She bought along two lovely guests, some will know him - Steve and his partner Lucia.

Although the wait for food was long due to them being over stretched, there was some very interesting conversations being had. With the light, 10pm came around very quickly. Nigel enjoyed an envious dessert and we parted ways, sober but merry.

Our next one will be Saturday 17th September if you would like to join us please email us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Venue is Ye Olde Swan, Newport Road, Woughton on the Green, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK6 3BS which is a Chef & Brewer pub and from our experience does reasonable food. Meeting time 7.00p.m.
