Staying Alive: Whittlesey Rotary Disco Donates £1,000 to First Responders

The Rotary Club of Whittlesey marked its 71st Charter Night, the club’s birthday, with a 60s and 70s themed disco at the Falcon Hotel, bringing together music, food and dancing in a lively community celebration.

Around 70 guests enjoyed retro fun with hot food served 70s-style in baskets, plenty of dancing and even some in full disco gear. Entertainment came from singer Stacey Wood, DJ Groovy Michelle and young local dancers from Tu Danse Academy in Peterborough.

Fresh from their Rotary performance, Tu Danse went on the next day to take second place at the North/Midlands National Entertainment Awards at the Cresset Theatre in Peterborough, earning an invitation to the 2026 finals in Las Vegas.

The Charter Night disco was about more than music and dancing, with the Rotary Club donating £1,000 to support and raise awareness of the East of England Ambulance Service Community First Responders, volunteers trained to reach life-threatening emergencies in the vital minutes before an ambulance crew arrives.

Whittlesey Club president Kevin Buckland said the disco format showed Rotary’s ability to reinvent itself while staying true to its values. He added that supporting young people was central to Rotary’s mission and the club was delighted to showcase the talent of Tu Danse Academy on such a special night.

After such a successful night, the Rotary Club has confirmed the disco will be back next year, promising another evening of music, dancing and community support.

At todays event my partner was somewhat very quiet.

Radio Fenland (Download App) – Mr. TJ Mc…..

Celebrating one year today, since its formation/amalgamation of several Cambridgeshire support groups, around 70 voltuntary organisations were represented.
Today my role as the Chairman of Whittlesey Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) I represented the group as I’ve done on a number of occasions.
Several other Whittlesey based Volunteer Groups were present, notably The Phoenix Youth Provision, who now support and help over 100 local young people.
They are well funded and have had their fair share of ‘challenges’ along the way.
Today Byrony Smith gave the audience a presentation on the success of the organisation.

To be gobsmacked means to be flabbergasted, astonished, or extremely surprised, often to the point of being speechless.

Attending (as a member of the public both the Finance & Policy and Planning meeting last night @ Whittlesey Town Council, I approached one of my fellow ward councillors to ask for help and assistance in dealing with issues from members of the public and electorate.

Somewhat ‘surprised’ that after nearly 3 years as a Town Councillor, they still can not or know how to report simple things like ‘Potholes’ for instance, ot more challenging issues…. why be a councillor then?…. (Political)
Hagiographer.

There is a lot of very informative and useful information on local social media, and I’m sure to say thank you to those who spend time to keep everyone up to date, however….
there still are those who relish in giving out misinformation to wind people up…..

My simple web-blog was put together to keep the ‘area’ which I was elected informed in what and how I am support them. Over time it has expanded into a local information site.
I am proud (again) to have a loyal group who pass-by regularly.

Average between 2,500 and 3,000 vistors a day –
The only Councillor who regularly posts on his own web-blog and has done so for 14+ years.
