Rotary Christmas float 2025

The Prestatyn Rotary Club Santa Float has played a big part in Christmas celebrations since the 1950’s and in that time has raised many tens of thousands of pounds for good causes. Last year we raised £6,000 for local and national charities.

This year, our collection will be used to support CAMHS, RNLI, and a number of small local good causes.

Recent Rotary activities

Just a little update on what we've been up to in the last week or two..... Local professional photographer Nathan Roberts gave a very good slideshow and talk about his visit to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda - a once in a lifetime trip for anyone wishing to get close up to these wonderful creatures (and our close relatives!). October 24th is World Polio Day which this year coincided with the date of our Club's 98th Anniversary dinner. President Colum and other members manned our mobile "A" board in Prestatyn Retail Park - raising awareness about Rotary International's continuing efforts with WHO to rid planet earth of this awful disease - as well as collecting money towards the cause. In the evening Prestatyn Rotarians together with guests and visiting Rotarians enjoyed an excellent dinner at The Beaches Hotel Prestatyn followed by an entertaining talk by military cartoonist Chip Wood.
