Convicts planting crocuses?

There was a great turnout by President
Sylvia Morgan, club members, the
Bantock Users Group and children
from Uplands Junior and Merridale
Primary schools as the Rotary Club of
The City of Wolverhampton planted
another 4,000 crocus corms in
Bantock Park in support of the Rotary
End Polio campaign.
The cheerful, enthusiastic support of
the Mayor of Wolverhampton,
Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE made
the children - and the Rotarians - very
happy.

Over the years, the club now planted a cumulative 50,000 purple crocuses and the club is committed
to continue every autumn until the scourge of polio is eliminated from the world.

The club’s Foundation Committee chair Richard Green was highly amused when two passers by,
seeing all the yellow tabards, asked "'what are those convicts doing with the Mayor and those
children?"
At least it gave him an easy opportunity to tell them all about this world changing campaign of Rotary
International!
