Rushmoor Rotary raises about £4500 at The Swan

Thanks to Rotarian Lawrence Alexander, proprietor of The Swan, just under £4500 was raised by the club during the week of the Farnborough 2010 International Airshow.

While the money will support a number of projects locally and in the UK a significant donation went to Shelterbox, a Rotary Global Project for disaster relief based in the UK.

Farnborough Donkey Derby 2011

was a great success with lots of money raised by the charity stall holders. An estimated 10,000 people had a very enjoyable afternoon out.


Thanks to everyone who came and made this such an enjoyable and successful day!
Christmas Float Charity Collection

Despite the bad weather meaning we had to cancel a number of the evening collections we are delighted that we managed to collect just over £5000 in 2011 Christmas collections thanks to the generosity of the residents in the areas we were able to visit plus the collections at B&Q and Morrisons.
