Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice Teddy Bears' Picnic: Sunday, 19th September 2010

Once again the face painting crew of Eltham Phoenix joined in with the staff and fundraisers from GBCH at their annual Teddy Bears Picnic. We painted around 70 little faces during the afternoon, including lots of butterflies, spidermen and tigers! Real teamwork was again displayed by Eltham Phoenix and we can be proud in our part of a successful day. Watch this space for photos and for the amount raised for the Hospice 

 

Club Social Night - Thursday, 19th August 2010

As we had no meeting, several members visited 'The Tailor's Chalk' in Sidcup for their Curry Night. Various curries were consumed, together with vast quantities of naan bread, poppadums and mango chutney. It was a very good evening.

 

Club Handover Night - Thursday, 1st July 2010

We had over 20 people turn out to welcome in our new President, Kevin Till, and his team at Sophie's Choice Restaurant, Sidcup. A fun evening with plenty of food and drink was had by all, with some relevant music. Outgoing President, Carol Ravenscroft, gave a short presentation on the highlights of her year in office and handed a cheque for £1,200 to the Alzheimer's Society. She also presented both Colin & Sally Knox and Barry & Margaret Mizen with Rotary Community Service awards, plus handed over cheques for £100 each to their respective foundations.
