Woking Rotary Club held their 11th annual Swimathon event at the Woking Pool in the Park on Sunday 14th October 2018.

The Swimathon was opened by Cllr Will Forster, Mayor of Woking, and Rotary President Richard Sanderson early on Sunday morning and teams of 6 people arrived throughout the day to make their charitable contribution swimming as many pool lengths as they could over 55 minutes.

Trident Honda has been the main sponsor for the event every year since its inception 11 years ago. This year we also had two teams competing in the event - The Trident Honda Otters: one team comprising Louise Vincer, Erin Dethick, Finn Dethick and Peter Vincer, managed 110 lengths of the pool; the other team comprising Chris Monk, Mathew Brough, Justin Creber and Charlotte Cawser, managed 114 lengths of the pool.

Our Macmillan Coffee Morning, held on Friday 28th September, was a great success. We had so many staff making cakes that we realised that we would have to extend the event to the Saturday morning, but in the event we were selling cakes throughout the weekend and into the following week. The event raised a magnificent £363.50.

The Downslink Challenge, at the beginning of June, helped to raise more than £20,000 for the White Lodge Centre and Woking & Sam Beare Hospices.

This amazing event, sponsored by Trident Honda, started at the Garibaldi pub and travelled all the way to Brighton and back - a distance of 102 miles. Cyclists also had the option of starting in Brighton, thereby reducing the distance to a still amazing 51 miles. But some of the longer-distance riders extended it to a staggering 122 miles, by following a diversion on the way home.

Following the redevelopment of its showroom, Trident Honda has now installed a fully automatic defibrillator in its customer reception area, for the protection of its staff and customers.

Richard Roberts, managing director of Trident Honda, explains:

Whilst we have never experienced a cardiac arrest on our premises in our 55 years of trading, nevertheless it would seem 'heartless' to forego this simple and affordable protection for our staff and customers. It is very unusual in business to purchase an item in the hope that it will never be used, but it is very reassuring to know that, should the worst should happen, we have the equipment to potentially save a life.

On Friday Mr & Mrs Aure collected their new 2019 Honda CR-V 7-seater, the first ever 7-seater CR-V to be sold by Trident Honda. It was particularly special, as the Aure family were replacing their Honda FR-V, bought from us ten years ago - and the last Honda sold in the UK with more than five seats.

The magnificent seven

The new CR-V keeps its effortless 'one-motion' folding rear seat and also offers the option of a third row, with two extra seats, on selected petrol grades. When not in use the seats fold neatly away.
