Country Drive and Cream Tea

Each spring, the Club organises an event for local senior citizens, many of whom don’t have many opportunities to get out and about. On 12th April this year, a fine but slightly chilly afternoon, over 30 senior citizens enjoyed a delightful spring country drive through the beautiful Kent countryside, kindly organised by the Rotary Club of Tonbridge.

The afternoon continued at Tonbridge Methodist Church with tea, scones, and wonderful entertainment from the Hazel Street Irregulars, whose mix of traditional English music, blues, and jazz had everyone smiling.

There was plenty of laughter, conversation, and catching up before our guests were safely escorted home by our dedicated team of volunteers.

A much-loved and longstanding event in our calendar, it remains as popular as ever. A heartfelt thank you to all escorts, chauffeurs, and to Rotarian Chris Parker and her team for the delicious refreshments.

We’re also pleased to share that an impromptu collection raised £58 for the homeless charity Porchlight.
