Rotary Club of HayleWater Conservation Project
Micro-credit: Our project has attracted a matching grant and the total stands at $24.500 USD which will go to Kololo Club, Uganda and will benefit up to 120 recipients. This kind of aid is monitored closely by Rotary Foundation.
Further funds were raised at President George’s Birthday Charity Meal. The celebration meal raised £600 for the Water Conservation Project. There were plenty of raffle prizes and all enjoyed a wholesome roast dinner.

GSE Team Visit
The visitors from Nepal, District 3292, visited the Hayle Club in May and enjoyed their educational and cultural trips around the area, especially the trips to Paradise Park (World Parrot Trust) and trying their hands at Pasty making (curtesy of Philps famous pasty makers!). Gopal the team leader, who owns a chain of restaurants at home, is threatening to introduce Cornish Pasties on his menu.
The team were enthralled with the seascape as Nepal is land-locked, however many similarities were noted between the two distinctive countries of Nepal and Cornwall – they are surrounded by mountains, we are surrounded by sea! Both nations are threatened by global warming, whereby flooding would be disasterous. Shelterbox has recently dispatched to the area following floods and landslides in Nepal.
On a more fun note – the Nepalis team were introduced to the Wii. Great fun was has by all and the military visitor demonstrated her sharp-shooting skills transferred to bowling and skittles!

Pornic Pays-de-Retz
In May 1978 we twinned with French Rotary Club, Pornic-Pays de Retz. The clubs take it in turns to visit each others club. 2009 saw the arrival of the members of the Rotary Club of Pornic Pays-de-Retz for a long weekend. Members enjoyed a interesting tour of St.Michael’s Mount, visited Penlee Gallery and a personal tour of West Cornwall by Rotarian Edwin. The French visitor were royally entertained throughout the weekend, culminating in a superb evening hosted by President George and wife Margaret.
