Our guest speaker last night was Made Delaveris from the Rockingham Mermaids.
The Rockingham Rotary Club donated funds earlier in the year to assist Made’s group and invited her back to tell us about the Mermaids.
The Mermaids were established in 1976 and they currently have 25 members, they are a swim club whose members are single older ladies, ladies caring for spouses and the occasional fella.
The club is more than just a swim club as it provides friendship and support for their members and ensures that members are there to assist in times of need.
Made was very complementary of the Rockingham Council who had assisted the group in access to the beach and facilities to support their members who had mobility issues getting to and from the water.
Made also gave the club an insight into her time as a Rotarian where she was the first female member of the Rotary Club of Rockingham.
The Winner of this month's Good Egg Award was Tyler Nicholls.
