21/04/2010 Itex Rotary Walk forms international partnership with the Bermuda End-to-End walk

"We welcome the opportunity to begin a connection with the Itex-Rotary Trust charity walks on our sister islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Through the formation of this relationship, our Bermuda participants will now have the opportunity to experience a walking adventure on the beautiful Channel Islands as well as on our own special home in the Atlantic. I believe that many of our walkers will take up the challenge of completing all three walks in the years to come and we want to extend a warm Bermuda welcome to any and all Itex-Rotary Trust participants who would like to join us one day soon." – Anne Mello, Chairperson, Bermuda End-to-End.

19/02/2010 Re-Developed Itex Walk Website Live!

Inline with our modernisation of the Walk registration system, and following the hugely successful introduction of Online Registrations we have produced an all new Walk website.

The purpose of the redevelopment is to greatly simplify the registration process, enrich the users (that's you) experience and provide a number of new pieces of functionality to improve the over all experience. The updated website employs a number of new technologies to provide simple to use, interactive pages.

The website makes use of AJAX technology to allow quicker browsing (by removing the need to reload some pages), a new level of interactivity for information on the walk route and an all new, easy to use photo gallery.

Just some of the new functionality is listed below:

  • Vastly improved Registration system (including the ability to register groups)
  • Interactive and highly detailed Route information
  • Photo Gallery
  • Live Statistics
  • Walker Sponsorship Payments
  • Walker Login Area

The Rotary Graeme Le Quesne Civic Award

Following the death in 2002 of Jersey Rotarian Graeme Le Quesne in a flying accident in Portugal, Rotary de la Manche and Rotary Jersey instituted an award scheme in his memory.

On 12 May 2009 Paul Owen (one of the original Walk team organisers) was presented with the Rotary Graeme Le Quesne Civic Award in recognition of especially worthy and meritorious service to Jersey and its people.

Paul is pictured to the right receiving his award from Joy Carry, President of Rotary Club de la Manche.

Congratulations to Paul Owen from Itex
