This charity promote the conservation\, protection and improvement of our physical and natural environment\, in particular Woking and the surrounding areas.This week our speaker was Rupert Devereux who is the Chair of Woking Environment Action (WEAct). WEAct\, which was originally known a Local Agenda 21\, was founded in 1994. It is an environmental action group. It has a number of projects. Woking Repair Cafe\, where a team of volunteers offers free repairs to: small household electricals\, battery-operated clocks\, ceramics\, small items of furniture\, toys\, computers\, garden tools\, clothes and textiles. Sessions are held once a month in different parts of Woking borough. Woking Biodiversity Group has a number of nature conservation projects. This includes helping to look after Woking Borough Council green spaces such as Mayford Meadows\, Millmoor Common and St Johns Lye. WEAct planted 420 trees at the White Rose Lane Nature Reserve and St Peters Recreation Ground. The group also does water testing in rivers throughout the borough. Woking Wings originally focused on tawney owls by putting up nesting boxes has been extended to bats and swifts. Woking Hedgehogs is helping to conserve these animals which are now an endangered species. WEAct is campaigning for the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill to pass into law- this has been put on hold by the Government. It also arranged an exhibition called Letters from The Global South to campaign on climate change issues. WEAct is also campaigning on plastic pollution to reduce the use of single use plastics in packaging. WEAct has set up community garden projects in West Byfleet\, Sheerwater and Old Woking and a scheme to distribute surplus produce such as fruit to foodbanks and community fridges. The Sustainable Byfleet initiative is a collaboration between WEAct and local organisations to enhance biodiversity and boosting sustainable living in Byfleet\, West Byfleet and Pyrford and surrounding areas. Keith Tatlock thanked Rupert for his interesting and informative presentation. Carol suggested that we look at ways that the Club could work with WEAct on projects and explore whether WEAct could become a corporate member

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker  -  George Major  -  The Original Cockney Museum Absent
DESCRIPTION:In the absence of the scheduled speaker\, Graham and Diane Fagence and Terry Smith spoke about their visits to Peru. Graham and Diane went to Peru ten years ago. They flew to Lima and travelled to Cuzco by train. Diane described their visit to Machu Picchu\, an Inca city dating from the 1500’s. They travelled by train which slowed down enough for them to jump off. They then walked up the path to Machu Picchu\, which is some 2\,500 feet above the railway station. She described the magnificent sight that you see when walking through the gate. The city is 8\,000 ft (2\,430 metres) above sea level. Terry and Mary Smith visited Peru this year. They flew to Lima\, via Madriid and then flew to the Peruvian part of the Amazon where they transferred to a boat. The boat had 12 cabins accomodating 24 people. There were also 4 skiff boats\, which can reach speeds of up to 40 mph\, which are used to explore the narrower inlets on the river. They encountered many types of birds and fish as well as boa constrictors and tarantula spiders. Terry described how the locals construct their houses of wood and corrugated iron along the river. They are two storey buildings. In the rainy season\, the river floods and the lower storey is under water\, so the inhabitants retreat to the upper storey. Schooling is a major issue in the Amazon region. Children attend school only up to the age of 9. Terry was trying to find out whether Rotary could help older children to learn\, perhaps using remote learning via laptops powered by solar panels. Terry and Mary also visited Machu Picchu. They went by train and then by a bus. Since Machu Picchu is so popular with tourists\, visitors are split into three groups to visit different parts of the site. They visited the lower part of the site. Both Graham and Diane and Terry and Mary greatly enjoyed their visits to Peru. They all thought that it was well worth the effort to get there. Brian Nettleingham thanked Graham and Diane and Terry for their very interesting talks\, which were particularly impressive given that they had had little notice.

SUMMARY:Handover meeting and Club Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Handover meeting & Club AssemblyThis week we had a combined Assembly and Handover Meeting. Nana Opare\, who is the Assistant Governor for our area\, attended the meeting. Committee Chairs presented their reports on the 2024/25 Rotary Year and their plans for 2025/26. Brian Nettleingham is standing down as Chair of Club Services and will be replaced by Teresa Stedman. Tony Usher has been elected as Treasurer. Carol Cheesman\, who was President for 2024/25 has been re-elected as the President for 2025/26. She gave a report on her year of office. Carol’s objective was to rejuvenate the Club after Covid. The Club has recruited 6 new members\, including for first time in its history\, three corporate members: Woking & Sam Beare Hospice\, Woking Football Club and Horsell Lodge Care Home. We held a number of successful Partners & Friends events\, which included dinners at Versova Indian Restaurant\, the Beijing Chinese restaurant and the Gosling. We had good attendance at each event raised £700 to £1000 for charity. We held a successful Racenight in October 2024 and a Quiz in March this year. The annual Swimathon raised money for Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and three other local causes – GASP\, Woking High School and Woking Youth Theatre. We had Christmas collections at Morrisons and Jubllee Square and also had street collections with the help of Horsell Care and Age UK to raise money for local charities. We have donated money to the new Diagnostic Unit at Woking Community Hospital. This was a joint project with Woking District Rotary Club and the Friends of Woking Community Hospital. We are combining with the same partners in a project to refurbish the Bradley Ward at the hospital. The Club has recently formed a link with the Rotary Club of Clamart\, Le Plessis Robinson\, Velizy based in Woking’s French twin town. Club members visited the French Club in May this year. Nana Opare spoke about the importance of boosting membership. Keith Tatlock proposed a vote of thanks to Carol thanking her for very successful and extremely active year as President and looking forward to her next year.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime meeting - Teresa Stedman.  Iceland
DESCRIPTION:This week’s weeks speaker was Teresa Stedman who gave us a very interesting talk about her visit to Iceland last year. Teresa and her husband went with another couple on a trip of over 2 weeks. They hired a car and drove around the island\, a distance over 800 miles\, staying in hotels on the way They visited many interesting sites including Reykjavik\, the capital. Iceland is 190 miles from North to South and 310 miles East to West with a land area of 40\,000 square miles - somewhat bigger than Ireland. It has a population of just 400\,000. Iceland was first settled by Norwegians in 870. It remained independent until 1260\, when it came under Norway and later under Denmark. In 1944\, it broke away from Denmark\, then occupied by the Nazis\, becoming fully independent. Teresa showed us many interesting photos and videos including many of glaciers and waterfalls. There are 10\,000 waterfalls in Iceland. There are also many glaciers\, which cover about 10% of the land area. Ice breaks off the glaciers and falls into rivers to form icebergs\, these then go out to sea. It is possible to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in Iceland although it is difficult to see them with the naked eye. However if photographed they show up well in the photo. The island is volcanic and has a number of geysers and warm springs. Around 30% of its power is generated from geothermal activity and 70% from hydroelectricity\, making it one of the greenest countries in the world. The only animal that is native to Iceland is the Arctic Fox. All the other animals were introduced by settlers. These include sheep\, cattle\, chickens\, goats\, reindeer and the Icelandic pony or horse. Horses and ponies can be exported from Iceland\, but not allowed to be imported to prevent disease. Originally Iceland had many forests\, but most of them were cleared for agriculture and sheep grazing\, which led to soil erosion. Since 1990 there has been a reforestation programme and forest cover has increased sixfold\, albeit from a low base. Sue thanked Teresa for her fascinating presentation. Part 2 will be on 4th August.

Rotary are now linked with their Rotary Club\, who have proposed many exciting events for the weekend.\nMore information to follow.Visit to Plessis Robinson 16th-19th May 2025 \nWhat a fabulous weekend.  12 of us travelled from Woking to visit the Rotary Club of Plessis Robinson.  An early start meant we caught the Shuttle to Calais and arrived in time to have a welcoming dinner.   What a welcome we were given together with canapés in the grounds then a great meal\, transport to the venue in Clamart was organised by their Clubs.\nSaturday morning a very interesting visit to the Chateau de Malmaison\, which had been the beautiful home of Napoleon and Josephine.  Here history unfurls through exquisite artefacts and beautiful gardens\, a unique blend of history and beauty. From there to a lunch organised by Graham.  The evening again so different!\nThere were three Rotary Clubs joined together to their biggest fund-raising event. “The Grand LOTTO in Clamart”\, Hundreds of prizes displayed on the stage\, then the Bingo started.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Speaker - Karin Young and Tianna Webb- Freemantle School
DESCRIPTION:This week’s speakers were Tianna Webb (Headteacher of Schools) and Karin\nYounghusband (School Business Manager) from Freemantles School. Freemantles is a Surrey County Council (‘SCC’) maintained school for children and young people with complex social communication needs; this usually includes a diagnosis of Autism. It has great understanding and specialism in this area and is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The school supports children from 4-19 years old and has both a primary and secondary section. Its catchment area covers most of Surrey\, but most pupils come from the West. The school opened on its current Mayford site in 2007 and was designed to accommodate a single cohort of pupils in each year group with a maximum of 9 pupils per class. Since 2017 Freemantles has been expanding. From September 2025\, it will have two form entry in all year groups between Reception (4-5) and year 11\, with a total number of 243 pupils on roll at the Mayford site. Freemantles has worked with Surrey County Council to achieve this. The expansion has involved building a new Secondary and FE building on the Mayford site\, which opened in November 2023. The rest of the work was completed and facilities were available for use from March 2025. Freemantles also has a satellite site in Ripley for infant children which has grown to 45 pupils. Freemantles places a great importance on emotional wellbeing for its pupils and also working closely with parents. It offers training for them and and also for professionals. The training develops a deeper understanding of the challenges of living with Autism in a ‘neurotypical’ world towards helping children to make progress in their personal and academic growth. SCC has an Autism Outreach Programme for Schools and has commissioned Freemantles to deliver this\, in partnership with two other specialist schools. Although Freemantles is fully funded educationally by SCC\, it has to raise its own funds for its Community Learning Programme and for extra-curricular activities. These require a fleet of mini-buses and also equpment such as climbing frames. This is where Rotary can help. Terry Smith gave the vote of thanks. He said that the Club had donated to Freemantles since 2007 and we would like to help in the future. He thanked Tianna and Karin for their interesting and inspiring presentation.
