Christmas tree sales and delivery- now closed until Autumn 2020

Introducing Paul Penfold, the newly installed President of the Club.

You may like to have some idea of how Wantage Rotary Club has supported communities locally, nationally and internationally, over the past 12 months.

Each year, with invaluable help from some of the Friends of Rotary, we stage a number of Road Shows- an evening of entertainment (some talent, much enthusiasm) at several of the local residential care homes.

A short video explaining the appeal of Rotary today.

We are always keen to recruit new members.

Wantage Rotary had another very successful Dickensian Evening.

A successful annual fundraiser for the Club involves the sale, and free delivery, of Christmas trees, in a variety of types and sizes. Overall, this involves quite a lot of man hours, but the service is widely appreciated in the Wantage area.

On Wednesday November 27th, Freya Jansens, a District 1090 Rotary Scholar from New South Wales, was a guest at our meeting. Wantage RC is acting as her host club.

2019-2020 Club Admin take care of the day to day running of the Rotary Club. We also make all the arrangements for such events as Meet the President, Club's Christmas Dinner, and the President's Farewell Dinner. We play a full part in fundraising.

The Membership Committee's remit is divided between a drive to recruit new members, and looking after the welfare of our existing members.

Wantage Foundation & International Committee looks after our efforts to help when natural disasters strike around the world. The committee further oversees a variety of international humanitarian projects to which we offer financial support.

We will be heavily involved in the running and funding of competitions for debating, photography and chess. We will sponsor 3 of the most promising sports people from King Alfred's Academy. We will sponsor 1 person for the Rotary Young Leaders Award.

The Community Committee deals with our local area, seeking to help those in need.
