Aylesbury Rotary Clubs celebrate huge £13,000 charity donation - all made possible by you!

The inclement weather was no impediment to the volunteers who kindly gave their time and efforts to make sure the event was a success.

A fantastic total of £13,000 was achieved for the charities who put on teams for both floats during December when the collections took place.

The Rotary Club of Aylesbury and the Rotary Club of Aylesbury Hundreds cover both sides of the town as it is impossible for one float to do so in the time available.

A spokesperson for the rotary clubs said: "Thanks must go to the management of Friars square who stored and arranged security of the Aylesbury clubs float and to Motts Coaches who stored the Hundreds float and towing vehicle generously loaned by Sportif Citroen of Aylesbury.

"Also, to Billy Masters one of the drivers. His Land Rover engine “blew up” but he repaired it in time to tow Santa on his scheduled trip.

"Both Clubs thank the people of Aylesbury and Wing who so generously put money into the collecting buckets, every penny of which goes to charity."

Up to 20 charity organisations will receive cheques this year.

As can be seen from the pictures the Charity representatives enjoyed their evening when receiving cheques last week.

Among those pictured were Wheelpower, Florence Nightingale Hospice, Lindengate, Lymphoma Action, Scannappeal, Motor Neuron Disease Assoc, PACE and Pollyanna Play school.
