Record numbers turn out for Rotary Easter Egg Trail

Priory Rotary club welcomed hundreds of families to their annual Easter Egg Trail at Sandringham on Easter Sunday, raising money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. Blessed with good weather, there were long queues at the check in points stretching all the way back to the Visitor Centre before families and excited children set off with their clue sheets.

The trail started at the squirrel outside the newly extended children’s play area. From there, it wound its way through the woods, where participants had to find the 18 clues hidden along the way, leading them back to the finish where they collected their chocolate eggs generously supplied by Kinnertons Chocolates in Fakenham.

Bob Angell, team leader for Priory Rotary, confirmed that at least 2,000 people completed the trail, and over 1,500 eggs were given out. A grand total of £5,500 was raised, well in excess of previous years. In addition to the trail, the East Anglian Air Ambulance held a soft toy tombola which generated an additional £440.

Luke Abendroth, Community Fund-raiser at East Anglian Air Ambulance said: “We are delighted with the success of this year’s Easter Egg Trail. With every mission costing an average of £3,750, our supporters make the difference, ensuring that our crews can continue to deliver out-of-hospital emergency care at the scene of an incident. Thank you to King’s Lynn Priory Rotary who as always have been supportive of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, and to the many volunteers who have given up so much time to run this event."
