SIX members of the Rotary Club of Taunton Vale took part in a ‘Walk to Gambia’ to raise funds for a planned expedition by students and friends of Queen's College, Taunton, next month.

The project to set up a nutrition clinic is being supported by the Rotary Club of Banjul, Gambia, and hopes to qualify for grants from Rotary International which will almost double those raised in this country.

The walkers were Mike Hill, Phil Greenway, Bill Bain, Stephen Smith, Paul Hughes and Michael Cooper.

It is hoped that the number of circuits around the perimeter of Queen's College will total the 3,440 miles of the return journey and will be sponsored at £10 a head.
