Come Rain or Snow
The Rotary Club of Northampton Apollo didn’t let a little thing like the worst snow for 18 years interrupt their efforts to rid Northampton of discarded bottles and cans. The 
team put on their woolies in February and spent the day restoring the area around Mereway Community
College to a usable space.
Apollo is a ‘hands on’ Rotary Club and its members like nothing better than rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in projects like this clean up. The
Club’s ethos is that Rotary provides a way of combining having fun with your friends with helping the local community in ways that really make a difference.
As most of the projects they undertake are outdoors
the team are hardy souls. But it is this aspect of Rotary that really appeals to members of the Apollo Club. The Club is not even a year old but already
they have restored the garden at Lowdown and cleaned up a number of public areas in the town. The next project is the garden at Northampton General Hospital but if you have a project for the team drop them a line at info@northamptonapollo.org.
