Summary of Club Activities
What we have been doing recently - Fundraising, Youth and Community Services and Social activities etc
The Club is currently preparing for two of its major fundraising events, our annual Golf Day at Chipping Sodbury Golf Club on Friday, 23rd May and the Classic Run from Chipping Sodbury High Street on Sunday, 29th June.
There is still time to enter a team for the Golf Day or, if you are a local business, sponsor one of the holes. The day is to raise funds for the Julian Trust Night Shelter and Andy’s Man Club, so all sponsorship money and entry fees go to two very worthwhile causes. Details can be obtained from Rotarian, Ian Joseph: ianjoseph@blueyonder.co.uk.
Entry forms are now available for our Classic Run, open to all cars, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles manufactured pre 2000. The route, this year, starts in the High Street and finishes at the Ridings on Wickwar Road, takes entrants around approximately 80 miles of Gloucestershire countryside with a half way coffee stop at Dowty Sports and Social Club in Staverton. More details and entry forms can be obtained from Rotarian, Mark Benstock: rotary.classic.run@hotmail.co.uk.
We were delighted, at our last meeting, to make some of the donations made by supporters at our Autumn and Winter Tea Dances available to Chipping Sodbury Memory Café. This will allow them to take a group for a Willow Trust boat trip on the Sharpness Canal from Saul Junction and enjoy a picnic lunch, as well!
During the month a few Club Members attended a Rotary District meeting at Hatherley Manor, in Gloucestershire, to celebrate all things Rotary. During the event our President, Ian Hodgson, received a certificate in recognition of our Club’s support and generous donations to Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign.
At our next meeting on Monday, 28th April we will be entertained by Paul Barnett who will give. A talk on the Purton Ships’ Graveyard.
