Priory Rotary Club...
On Friday 21st January 2011, Carl Smith and Paul Chittock attended the Dukes head to give talk to the Priory Rotary Club about the Cycle Response Unit. Carl and Paul were invited to join the group for lunch before delivering the speech. Carl thanked the Dr Dennis Barter for the generous donation made to the Response Unit. All donation go to the King's Lynn unit to buy the additional kit required.
Tangent Club ...
Tangent Club is a social networking organisation for ladies over the age of 40 who are either the wife or widow / partner of a former member of Round Table or a former member of Ladies Circle. It is part of the Round Table family of clubs together with Round Table, Ladies Circle and 41 Club. The first Tangent Club was formed 40 years ago and our local branch (no 520) was formed 30 years ago.
We meet monthly, mainly in members homes. The meetings consist of business of the club and often a speaker or visit of local interest. These speakers are often from local charities or organistions of interest and a fee or donation is given. We also offer support nationally and internationally, an example of this is the Haiti Earthquake Disaster.
Our chairman and other club officers are elected annually, the current chairman is Ann Wadsworth.
Lord Napier...
A cheque for £1500 was presented to the Kings Lynn Cycle response unit by the landlord Micheal Bunn of the lord Napier pub in Kings Lynn.
Michael and some of his customers put a team into the its a knock out day, which was held recently in the walks. Michael said that the team dressed as french maids, had a great day and finished first winning the £1000 prize given by organisers of the event the Lions.
Michael and his team also raised a further £500 from sponsorship. Unsure who to donate the money to, Michael said that he had been told about the Paramedic on a bike treating somebody who had collapsed in the town centre and decided to donate the money.
CRU project coordinator Carl Smith said this was an excellent donation and thanked Michael and his team for their effort and generosity. The money will go towards a miniature defibrillator which is desperately needed by the team to replace the heavy defibrillator currently being used.
Also present in the photo are John Groom Immediate past president, Gerry Tann Welfare president and Mike Parsons Lions member. From the ambulance service Carl Smith Project coordinator and Mark Collins CRU medic. Michael Bunn Landlord of the Lord Napier overlooked by the stunning french maids.

Paul and Jim, two Paramedics who work on the CRU spent an evening with the club, giving them a talk on the history of the CRU and its future plans.
The Rotary club of Kings Lynn were one of the first groups to make a donation to the CRU and without their donation; we certainly would not be as well equipped to do our job as we are.
