Thursday meeting

  Still meeting on the first and third Thursdays of the month between 6.00 - 8.00 p.m.at Horsforth Golf Club our regular name is now simply Thursday meetings. We continue to bring new members into the Club by providing an opportunity for people unable to attend the  original Tuesday lunchtime meetings. Events-wise these meetings have proved innovative running for example a successful fund-raising Sheepstakes Race Night, helping 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.

The aim of the Thursday meetings continues to be to actively attract new members by helping to  offer a flexible meeting structure. This provides both fellowship and service opportunities to working and younger potential members within a less formal, more focussed Rotary experience. Thursday meetings will continue to focus on developing and helping to deliver successful, fund-raising events and to also look for a diverse range of activities to promote Rotary within our community.

We are all aware that during this coming year we will still continue to be challenged by all our future activities and achieving our goals as we all try to get back to normal, whatever normal may look like. We are as always up for the challenge it presents.
