	Rotary in the News Welcome to the web site of the Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh; we meet every Tuesday evening - subject to occasional scatter visits - at the Senior Common Room, Reading University. Our meetings start at 8pm and our President Alistair Knox - pictured left - always looks forward to welcoming our visitors from 7:30pm in the bar. Every year our President selects a particular charity that he or she would particularly like to support in addition to our normal charitable activity and this year Alistair's President's Charity is Life Education Centres Thames Valley. Their mission is to help children make healthy choices through their work with schools, with parents and engaging the community. Life Education’s work and programmes are based on an holistic view of health education, involving children, their families and the community and covering all aspects of the child’s well-being. As for Reading Maiden Erlegh, the Club was formed in September 1988 and its Charter was presented on 16th May 1989; it is one of six Rotary Clubs in Reading and originally had 37 founder members - the membership is currently 53. The emblem of the Club - pictured right - includes a water wheel commemorating the old flour mill which stood on the site of the present Reading Moat House Hotel at Mill Lane, Sindlesham and a black swan which was once a regular visitor to the nearby River Loddon.
