Volunteers in community clean sweep
Residents in the Heatherside area
have given their neighbourhood a
spring clean with two community
‘spruce-ups’ in one day!
More than 20 volunteers helped out
and working alongside local
residents were people from Surrey
Heath Borough Council, the local
Police, the Church Community
Group and the Girl Guides.
The first clear-up involved removing
litter and overgrown shrubs from the
alley way connecting Theobalds
Way <strong>to</strong> Edgemoor Road.
The group then moved on <strong>to</strong>
Shildon Close <strong>to</strong> repeat the process
in an area of public open space,
once again where the volunteers
collected enough <strong>to</strong> produce a large
pile of green waste later collected
by the council for recycling.
The spruce-up was organised <strong>to</strong>
open up the two areas and in a bid
<strong>to</strong> tackle issues with littering and
other anti-social behaviour.
Service with a smile
Many people when they hear Rotary mentioned think only of collections held at
Christmas and when disasters occur. But there’s a lot more <strong>to</strong> the Rotary Club of
Camberley as Club PRO Derek Dearmer explains…
The Rotary
Club of
Camberley
Stand at an outdoor event.
Rotary Shelterbox and tent distributed <strong>to</strong> disaster areas
throughout the world.
Camberley Rotary Club, a service
organisation, provides help <strong>to</strong> the
Surrey Heath community as well as
assisting with overseas projects.
The Club, which prides itself on
friendliness and sociability, meets
every Tuesday evening at
Camberley Cricket Club. These
meetings allow members <strong>to</strong> discuss
events and projects or listen <strong>to</strong>
entertaining speakers.
As a service club, we undertake
hands on projects as well as raising
money at fetes and fun days <strong>to</strong>
help pay for them. We are always
looking for new local projects
<strong>to</strong> consider.
Our current projects involve working
with the Vincent de Paul Society in
providing assistance <strong>to</strong> those in our
community who have hit hard times.
We collect and deliver unwanted
furniture and clothes, provide books
for a rehabilitation unit at Farnham
Hospital and we provide marquees
for weddings and other occasions
(for a donation). Every penny of
which is used for local charities.
The Club also holds regular social
events for members and friends
often working with our Inner Wheel
and Rotaract Clubs.
If you have a little spare time and
want <strong>to</strong> make new friends, while
giving service <strong>to</strong> your community,
why not visit the Club <strong>to</strong> find out
more about us; you will be made
very welcome.
