Local
heat Thursday 19th January 2017
This
popular and long-established public-speaking competition has been entered by
many local secondary schools and other groups in previous years. We plan to hold a single heat but will hold 2
on the same evening one essentially for Brookmans Park/Potters Bar, the other
for Welwyn/Hatfield if there are sufficient entries.
Teams
of three are needed, a main speaker, a chairperson and a proposer of a vote of
thanks. There are two age groups,
Intermediate (approximately Key Stage 3) and Senior (approximately Key Stage 4
& 5). The local competition winners
can progress to district, regional and national stages of the competition. Teams may speak on any subject with the
exception of those directly concerning party politics, race or religion.

Cook-off

the school winner will get automatic entry to the cook-off.) The six selected competitors then cook their
menu at a cook-off at Monks Walk School on Saturday morning 4th
February 2017 within a two-hour time limit.
The competitors are provided with a voucher to cover the cost of
ingredients and the winner goes on to district and potentially regional and
national finals. Details are at http://ribi.org/what-we-do/youth-competitions-and-awards/ribi-young-chef The deadline for entries is

groups who you feel are worthy of wider recognition, please email us at midhertsrotary@ymail.com. It may be that they qualify for the national
Rotary competition, details of which are at http://www.rotarygbi.org/what-we-do/youth-competitions/

Welwyn Hatfield Rotary Walk Sunday 17th April
2017
This
event is open to all individuals and groups who wish to raise money for a
charity or project through a sponsored walk, an ideal way of raising money
without the hassle of having to organise the walk yourselves! There is a choice of 7-mile or 11-mile
routes, or a 2-mile suitable for very young or disabled participants, all
starting at Campus West car park in Welwyn GC and following a gloriously scenic
route through Sherrardswood, Brocket Hall park, bluebell woods and along the
River Lea. 75% of what you raise goes to
your chosen project and 25% to Rotary charities. Why not organise a group to come and take
part? An excellent social activity as
well as a fund-raiser. Or perhaps a
warm-up hike for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award?
