On Wednesday 1st June the Club organised an annual ‘Rotary Children's Fun Day’ day by taking on a hot and sunny day, two coach loads full of children, their carers’ and teachers from Treetops School to Adventure Island and the Sealife Centre at Southend-on-Sea, Essex for an enjoyable day out. 

As for many years in the past, our Club has been giving disabled and disadvantaged young people the chance to enjoy new experiences, taste adventure and have a fun day out and we are glad to say we achieved the objective.

The children were in their element, watched over, of course by some very diligent carers and teachers.  At the end of the day we all returned exhausted and it was high fives all round when we exited the coach back at the school.

Club organiser, Bob Paterson, was assisted by Club members, Peter Hoche, John Collier, Ray Smallcombe and Mark Jones.   The Club also thanks Tesco Stores at Lakeside for the provision of food and drink and to the coach company that took us there and back.
