Our annual charity walk took place on Sunday 28 Sept in perfect weather - no wind and clear bue skies. Turn out was slightly down on previous years, due possibly to conflicting events on the same day.
However, the result was that many charities benefited from the walk. Well in excess of £30,000 has so far been raised by this event for both local and national charities.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates supports Rotary's POLIO eradication initiative
In 2007, the Gates Foundation awarded Rotary International a US$100 million challenge grant to underwrite Rotary’s commitment to eradicate polio. Rotary pledged to match the grant dollar for dollar, and as of January 2009, it had raised nearly $73 million. That grant was one of the largest challenge grants ever given by the Gates Foundation and, until recently, the largest grant received by Rotary, which has made polio eradication its top priority since 1985.

On 21 January, however, the Gates Foundation set a new record by pledging an additional $255 million. Rotary committed to raising another $100 million by 30 June 2012. Gates made the announcement during an enthusiastically received surprise appearance at Rotary’s International Assembly in San Diego
