Swanage Rotary Christmas Breakfast 2013

Wed, Dec 25th 2013 at 8:30 am - 10:30 am

For many years Swanage Rotary has put on a breakfast for people who might otherwise be alone at Christmas. Despite some poor weather, this year was no exception and as you can see from the photos a good time was had by all.


Thanks to everyone who helped, to Inner Wheel for the presents and to the businesses in Swanage who donated the food. Special thanks to the Buckle family for providing the festive music.
