Rotary Club of Warwick host annual Civic Lunch
The Rotary Club of Warwick welcomed Cllr Richard Edgington, Mayor of Warwick, and Jayne Topham, Town Clerk, to their annual Civic Lunch on November 17th. They were joined by Rotary District Governor David Clayfield.
The Mayor said that the last 18 months during Covid had shown a strong community spirit in Warwick. Local businesses supported key workers and struggled to keep us all going, adapting to home deliveries of groceries and take away meals. They even rose to the challenge of manufacturing PPE and sanitisers and small traders had shown the vital role they play in the economy.
Warwick Town Council had supported traders with Covid grants, Civic leadership – being seen “at a distance” supporting charities, and at virtual shopping events. Looking forward there may still be vulnerable people and children needing support and his charities for the year will be flexible to give them help. The Town Council has about 30 projects to make Warwick a better place including reduction of air pollution. Next year he looks forward to the Commonwealth Games and the Queens Jubilee.
President Paul Jaspal referred to the close co-operation between the club and Town Council in providing support to our events. He thanked the Mayor for his work on behalf of the town and wished him well for the remainder of his busy year in office.
