November 2023 - End Polio Now talk at Mayflower High School
We arranged to speak at the Sixth Form assembly at Mayflower High School, talking to the students about Polio, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, and the continuing importance of vaccination.
The Club had purchased purple crocus corms, which were sold in aid of End Polio Now.
After the talk, we were joined by sixth formers and some staff, who spending a happy half an hour digging holes, getting muddy and planning the corms, along the fence adjoining Stock Road.
We all hope the squirrels will leave some of the crocuses to grow and provide a cheerful display in the spring.
