Bosworth Rotarians Spring Action

Christmas has come and gone and we are well into Spring.

Annual Easter Egg Hunt - Saturday 19th April

As can be seen in the panel on our Home Page, 173 youngsters had a great day hunting mini eggs hidden around the Cadeby end of Bosworth Park. When they had found all their mini eggs they were rewarded with a much larger egg to take home.

Everyone agreed that it had been lots of fun for the children and their parents.

Our Facebook panel at the foot of this page shows lots of photographs.

This was intended purely as a community fun event, not a fund raiser; however, with such a large attendance we made a surplus of £457 which has been dontated to local charities.

Bosworth Park Play Area

Our club was 50 year's old last October and one of our earliest community activities was to create the children's play area in Bosworth Country Park. Upkeep later transferred to Leicestershire County Council and it has since seen a lot of use. More recently there have been problems with water accumulating on the site. We have worked in conjunction with David Luther, the Park Warden who provided the money for the new mulch, stones, etc for the area. Our club members and helpers have completed the remedial work and also installed two new picnic benches within the area; the money for these was provided by a grant from Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. 

Work is now complete and we hope that the children of visitors and locals alike will continue to enjoy the playing area in the lovely surroundings of Bosworth Park.

Village Bench Seats

Our members and helpers have been out and about cleaning and repainting bench seats in our local villages. So far we have completed the tasks in Nailstone, Carlton and Barlestone with more to follow.

 Again, a big "Thank you" to all for supporting our events.
