Rotarians aid magnificent seven

QUIDS IN: Barnard Castle Rotary Club president Ann Barmby

MORE than £2,500 was handed out to good causes at Barnard Castle Rotary Club’s annual charity presentation.

Representatives from seven charities received substantial cheques for each of their charities during the presentation evening held at the Jersey Farm Hotel, Barnard Castle.

The money, which was raised by the volunteers throughout the year in a variety of different events, including bag packing at Morrison’s, was handed over by club president, Ann Barmby.

It was the first time the club has run a presentation night in this format.

On previous occasions, Rotarians delivered cheques to each charity at their headquarters.

Dr Barmby chose the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) as her presidential charity for the year and a bumper cheque for £1,190 was handed over to representatives at their headquarters at Teesside Airport prior to the event.

Dr Barmby, accompanied by her husband Tony, were given a VIP tour of one of the helicopters and were even invited to test out the pilot’s seat during the visit.

During the evening cheques for £225 were handed out to Barnard Castle Girl Guides, RNLI, Pause Charity, Northumbria Blood Bikes, Guide Dogs for the Blind and Serenity.

Before the cheques were presented, each representative told members a little more about their individual charities and explained how and where the money would be spent to benefit the group.
