Thursday meeting
The Thursday group initially the Nomads began as a satellite group meeting on the first and third Thursdays of the month at Horsforth Golf Club between 6.00 and 8.00 p.m. on an informal 'drop-in'basis. Periodically other venues are also explored.
Our regular name is now simply Thursday meetings and are continuing to bring new members into the Club by presenting an opportunity for people unable to attend the original Tuesday lunchtime meetings. Events-wise they have proved innovative running a successful fund-raising Sheepstakes Race Night, helped Mary's Meals via a barbecue and South African schoolchildren through the charity Chameleon as well as organising a Grand Interactive Quiz. They continue to add new events most recently the 'It's a Dogs' Day' with Beer festivals running since the summer of 2017. The Days for Girls project also found its feet within Thursday meetings.
All Club members have the option of attending on Tuesdays, Thursdays or both as all are full members of the Rotary Club of Aireborough choosing the meetings which best suit their situations.
