Rotarians Raise Funds for LOROS

4 Mar 2014

The Rotary Club of Uppingham are celebrating another successful charity walk around Eyebrook reservoir.

The annual walk, in aid of LOROS and other local and national charities, saw more than 100 people enjoy the 4.6 mile walk on a brisk, though thankfully dry, day. The route around normally has restricted access so this was a once a year opportunity to see the reservoir close up.

Hugh Holden, who led the team organising the event said "Although getting everything organised can be a chore it is well rewarded when so many people turn up and enjoy the day. Although the money is still rolling in I am confident that we will raise thousands of pounds for the organisations we support."

Jacqui Wayte, who came from Market Deeping to take part said: "It was a great day out and I really enjoyed it. Taking some exercise in the beautiful Rutland countryside whilst supporting LOROS is a perfect way to spend a Sunday. Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Uppingham for organising such a wonderful event."
