Rotary Club of Grantham Inducts Margaret Ambose

Monday 26 March 2012. Margaret's father was in the RAF which meant a very nomadic start to life: nine different secondary schools and thirty homes by the time she got married at eighteen. Margaret met her husband, Arthur, another Rotarian, on a blind date when she was sixteen. They have a daughter in Ipswich and a son in Great Gonerby and also have four grandchildren, the eldest of whom is studying Chemistry at Imperial College.

They moved to Grantham in November 2001 after having lived in Greater London for all of her adult life.

Induction of Karin Hardy

Tuesday, 20 March 2012 10:20 Hon Sec

Induction of Karin Hardy into The Rotary Club of Grantham

Why she wishes to join Rotary?:- Having spent many years combining being a very hands on Mum and a very demanding job role which has taken her all over the country – these factors had in fact prevented her from forming close relationships at a local level and she most certainly wants to try and address that. Many of her local friends are “Horse Nuts” because of her interest in the Equine world, but she would also like to build friends outside of horses!!
