Signature_________________________________ Date__________ 

The Vale of Belvoir Rotary Club recently held a very successful Frog Racing Evening in Orston Village Hall, to raise funds to assist in the disaster relief aid following the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. 

 

The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended, and raised over £1800, which has been used to buy 3 x Shelterboxes to help in supporting displaced families following the earthquake.

 

These items are in addition to the 2 x Shelterboxes that we had already purchased, along with donations we have also made to the UK Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC).


For more information about Shelterbox, please visit    https://shelterbox.org

July 2022 Following a donation from our Community Fund we received the following note from the family:

"We are extremely grateful for the support from the Rotary club to help Lewis train & compete at the highest National level.

Lewis lives in Bingham & trains with the squad in Bassetlaw normally 7 or 8 times a week. During the 2021/22 season, he has so far achieved far more than he thought possible - 2 x Junior (16& Under) Bronze medals at Swim England Winter Nationals & a  4th place finish in the Junior (U18) 50m Back Final at British Selection Championships in April. 

His focus in the pool at present is the end of season British Summer Championships where he has been invited to compete in the 3 events of backstroke (50, 100 & 200m). 10 days later he will be back in Sheffield competing in the English Summer National Championship where he switches strokes to Butterfly & the Individual Medley, the kind & generous donation from the Rotary Club will be used towards the entry fees & other associated costs."
