She is shown below with Anne Wilson from the RC of Cheltenham Sunrise, Lynn Withy from the RC of Swindon Thamesdown, and Richard Walton - the Professor! - President of the RC of Bredon Hill.
Jan joined a number of Rotarians who took part in the Worcester 'Flash Freeze'. This was one of a number of similar events that took place across the country to promote the 'End polio Now'cam. A video can be seen in our 'Club News' section or by following this link - 'Flash Freeze'.

She is photographed here with President Elect Ceri and Staff Sergeant Ian and Major TA who were speaking at the Club. Hands up if you think the fact that Jan visited the club when men in uniform were present was an accident.... No, I didn't think so either.
Jan spent the first day of September attending the Charity Raft Race in Monmouth which went down down the River Wye. She is shown with the Mayor of Monmouth and President Jenny Green from the RC of Monmouth, the participants from the RC of Stonehouse, the 'winning' Rotary team from the RC of Hereford Marches (they were second overall), and a random group who believe it or not were about to take part in the race!
