The Colditz Story retold
Hornsea and East Riding Rotary Club welcomed Andy Dunn as its guest speaker who delivered an illustrated talk on the “true” Colditz story, going well beyond the famous film. Filling in the background material the fortress was brought to life as actual photographs of would be escapees with details of their attempts were described. It is hard to believe that men like Airey Neave and Pat Reid were real men and not fictitious characters from a famous film. Andy’s breadth and depth of knowledge about this subject truly held his audience of club members and guests spellbound.

Knitting for "Fish and Chip babies"
This is a project that volunteers are knitting babie's hats and jumpers to help some of the poorest children in Africa, many are born with AIDS, whose mothers are so poor that the babies were sent home wrapped in newspapers to keep them warm.
The project caught the attention of the Rotary Club of Hornsea and East Riding, inspired by a local nurse who works with these children and takes the knitted jumpers and hats with her as excess baggage when she travels to Africa. Club members were asked to get family and friends to take up the knitting challenge, so as Rotarian Iain Edmiston and his work colleagues. For those who have knitted and wanting to send the items, please contact : treasurer@hornsearotary.org.uk or secretary@hornsearotary.org.uk

Annual Hornsea and East Riding Hike 2018
Hornsea & East Riding Rotary club had a successful 19th Annual New Year hike on Sunday, 7th January. There were 50 walkers and around 20 dogs taking part. The participants had a good dry and sunny day as they took the eight mile cicular walk staring from Densholme Farm in Great Hatfield.
Four Newfoundland dogs and two irish Water Spaniels from Welton Water Adventure Centre Canine International (WWACCI), who were trained for rescue work were the new dogs participants this year.
At the end of the walk, refreshments of homemade soup, bacon sandwishes, cakes, tea and coffee were provided and enjoyed by all.
Organiser Rtn Paul Train thanked the team of Rotarians and all friends and relatives who assisted with the event, and most of all, Denys Fell of Densholme Farm for allowing to use his facilities. The event raised a net total of £410 which will go into club funds to assist charities an other good causes in our area.
