Rotary Swimarathon Presentation Evening

To celebrate the success of their recent Swimarathon, Priory Rotary invited all the swimming teams and business sponsors to a presentation evening at North Wootton Village Hall on March 1st. Ken Banks, head of the Priory team who ran the event, thanked all the sponsors for their generous contributions, and all the swimmers and volunteers for their efforts on the day. In total, the events at the St James pool in Lynn and the Oasis pool in Hunstanton raised the fantastic sum of over £22,000, most of which will be distributed to the 18 charity teams who took part, with the remainder earmarked for other Rotary charities.

Medals were presented to the following teams. West Norfolk Tennis for Health, West Norfolk Autism Group, Little Miracles, Little Discoverers, Break Children's Homes and the Wootton Boys. Special individual medals were presented to Chantal and George from the Lavender Hill Mob Theatre Company, and to Scarlett Cole, who received a large donation from the West Norfolk Swimming Club teams.

Thanking everyone for attending, Mr Banks announced that next year’s event will be held on February 8th 2025, and hoped everyone will again support this annual Rotary charity event.
