DAVID AND SUE FORMOSA'S GARDEN PARTY: CALAIS TRIP:  The most successful regular event that the Rotary Club of Paddington organises is our day trip to Calais. For the last 10 years it has raised over £12,000.00 for local deserving causes and or overseas projects. This event is organised by David Andrews, our own Mr Paddington. It usually takes place in October. The coach leaves Sussex Gardens at 8.00 am and we either take the ferry to Calais or the coach goes on the train. We then travel to a restaurant just outside Calais and have a wonderful 4 course meal with unlimited wine and coffee. Afterwards we go to a large supermarket where to buy wine, champagne, food etc. The return is normally by the train to arrive in Sussex Gardens at around 8.00 pm. So if you want to join the party and have a fun day out with enjoyable company keep looking into our Website for the exact details and for the date that has not yet been fixed.
