Billericay Rotary have raised funds for 9 1/2 wells and have four days to fund the last 1/2 well. Can you help!

"Everyone has a right to clean water and good health"
Said the note left by one of our recent donors with her donation.
Help make it come true for 2,500 Kenyan Primary School Children in Africa.
Can you give just £5 so that these children don't have to visit the local stream for water in 2021? bit.ly/RCBKenya01
Only a few days remain to the midnight 31st December End Date!
The success of our Christmas crowdfunding campaign has provided enough funds for nine and a half borewells.
BUT WE CAN'T BUILD HALF A WELL, so can you help us raise the final £1,200 needed to build the tenth borewell by liking this post and donating £5 (or more) today at:
https://bit.ly/RCBKenya01
If 240 of us do this we can build

The Reading Rooms, Billericay

The Reading Rooms website has a fresh new look!
Check it out at www.thereadingrooms.org

It has been moved to a new hosting service over the past couple of weeks and in the process has been redeveloped in a style that displays much better on mobile devices than its predecessor.

If you have a bookmark/favourite pointing to our site you may find that it no longer works. This will be because it is pointing directly to our original hosting service, which ceased to exist yesterday. Just delete it, visit the new site and save a new bookmark/favourite.

Lists public events, classes, etc. happening in the Reading Rooms, plus tells how to hire and what facilities exist. Also gives a brief history of the rooms.

The Reading Rooms are closed from 19th March until further notice, in line with Coronavirus guidance.

'MAYFLOUR 2020' - THE GREAT BRITISH 1620s BAKE-OFF! Come along to the Reading Rooms on Saturday or Sunday and sample some culinary delights based on original 1620s recipes, as may have been enjoyed by the Mayflower Pilgrims: American Gingerbread, Narrangansett Strawberry Cornbread, Jumbals, Honey Cake and 'Collops of Bacon'.

And while you're there, don't miss the special exhibition of work by local junior school children, marking the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers (and Mothers and Children - including four from Billericay) to America. See what the children have found out about the historical background to the Mayflower Pilgrims' journey - their clothes, food, occupations, and what they would have taken with them.
