Senior Citizens Enjoy Country Drive and Cream Tea
On the afternoon of 12th April, 30 senior citizens were taken by Rotarians on a spring drive around the glorious Kent countryside, arriving back at Tonbridge Methodist Church for tea and scones.
They were entertained by an enterprising trio of musicians known as the 'Hazel Street Irregulars', with a mix of traditional English music along with some Blues and Jazz.
All our guests enjoyed a good chat and catch up, after which they were escorted to their homes by their chauffeurs.
RIBI Young Photographer Competition Launch at Leigh Academy Hugh Christie.
The Tonbridge Rotary Club, in partnership with Warners Solicitors LLP, was delighted to host the club’s first RIBI Young Photographer Competition at Leigh Academy Hugh Christie on 22nd March.
Eight students had been capturing images inspired by this year’s theme, “Happiness in Nature.” Through their photography, they had explored how a single image can tell a story and highlight moments of beauty in the world around us. The winner of Young Photographer 2026 trophy was Cerys Becker from year 12, with Zachary Finley (year 10) and Isaac Carter (year 12) joint runners up. Cerys will go forward to compete in the District Finals of the competition.
On Sunday 8th February eight very talented Young Musicians aged 12-16 performed in District 1120's Final of the 2026 Rotary Young Musician Competition at Bromley Youth Music Trust in front of a very appreciative audience of Rotarians, parents and friends.
Tonbridge Rotary had two entrants following the local heat in December. Amelie Lucas and Tin Sip Mya Wong performed superbly and received a praiseworthy and positive critique from the two professional adjudicators.
The standard was so high and the scoring so close that a comment was made "they are all winners". However, there must be a winner and unfortunately Amelie and Mya did not progress through to the Regional (Cluster) Final in Salisbury next month.
Both Amelie and Mya gained so much from the opportunity and the experience which will hold them in good stead in their future musical careers.
