Wishing Well Inaugurated on August Bank Holiday Monday        back

At the start of a Fun Day organised by the Rotary Club of Dronfield President John Smith inaugurated the Rotary Wishing Well. It is hoped that the Wishing Well will help in raising funds throughout the months and years to come and so help the various charities supported by the club.

The Fund Day itself was organised at the Mill Garden Centre on Whittington Way Chesterfield to raise funds for the various local initiatives such as Grant a Wish and Citizen of the Year being supported by the Rotary Club.International Charities including those dedicated to providing fresh clean drinking water in the poorer parts of the world should also benefit. Many members of the club attended to assist and, together with the general public, enjoyed the excellent weather

The day included competitions such as a Tombola with many prizes and a Balloon Race. There were also games for the children and an appearance by Wally the Clown who entertained both children and adults.

The assistance, both on the day and in an ongoing capacity, of the Mill Garden Centre was central to the success of both the Rotary Fun Day and the Rotary Wishing Well project and is really appreciated by all involved.
