About us

About Us

Trent Bridge Rotary Club was formed in 1991 and is still going strong.  We meet regularly on every second Tuesday, and have an interesting and varied programme of social events and speakers in addition to progressing our charitable and community work as a Rotary club.

 

Our main fund-raising event in recent years has been the Great Nottingham Duck Race, which was held again in 2022, together with the Long Eaton Dawnbreakers Club, after a two-year absence.

 

The Great Nottingham Duck Race

This event consisted of us (and the Long Eaton Dawnbreakers club) selling tickets for a yellow plastic duck during Nottingham's Riverside Festival (and green ducks for our corporate sponsors). Each year we launched over 7,000 ducks into the River Trent from the suspension bridge and watched them race down towards the finish line at the world famous Trent Bridge.  For more information please take a look at the event website here.  In 2022, we raised approximately a net £12,000 for charity.

 

Christmas Collection

The final fund-raising event of 2022 was the Christmas Collection at Morrisons (Gamston) and ASDA (West Bridgford), to whom we are grateful for again allowing us to raise funds for the benefit of the local community and overseas charities.

 

A total of about £2,300 was raised from the generous shoppers. Well done, Father Christmases and your Little Helpers!
