Bikes4Africa CAMPAIGN REACHES A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION
Harpenden Village Rotary Club is proud to have reached its target for the current year of 300 bikes to send to The Gambia with the help of national charity jole rider. Club President, Phil Murray, says: "This has been a fantastic project for us. Not only have we delivered much needed resources to West African youngsters, we have also helped the local community to rally round a really deserving cause. Harpenden residents have been delighted to clear their garages for our cause, but even more delighted to know that their trusty bicycles are going to a very good home."
Unfortunately, we are not in a position to accept any more bicycles, as our final shipment is now booked.

SORTING CHALLENGE AT SCHOOLS TECHNOLOGY TOURNAMENT
Imagine you have to design, build and test a coin sorter and the only materials you have to work with are wooden dowel, card, square- sectioned wood, rubber bands, modelling material and Sellotape. And you have only four hours in which to complete the job.
That was the task facing more than 90 pupils from eight St Albans and Harpenden secondary schools at the Rotary Technology Tournament, held in the sports hall at Marlborough School, St Albans. The event was organised and run by the four Rotary Clubs of St Albans and Harpenden, with sponsorship by AECOM, Caslon Limited, Critical Research, Phillips Funerals and Lonsdale Wealth Management.
