Saturday 15 March 2025 - SWIMATHON

Our first Community Swimathon will take place at the Bingham Arena on the 15th March from 13.00 hours.  It's for swimmers of all ages and abilities to swim as few or many lengths as you wish! Take to the water to raise money for a charity of your choice.

YOU decide on the purpose to which the money you raise will be put

YOU create teams of up to 6 people who will get sponsors and take part.  Each team will be allocated one lane, for one hour

YOU collect your sponsorship money

The Vale of Belvoir organise and run the event and look after everything else.  We return 70% of the money you raise to you, to be used for your nominated charity.  The balance, after deduction of costs, goes to a local charity or charities nominated by the Rotary Club.

Sign up today by contacting Jane Hart on jane.m.hart@hotmail.co.uk or any other V.of B.Rotarian you may already know

A group of Rotarians were invited to the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) HQ near Lincoln for a visit and presentation to say thank you to our Club for our fundraising  totals on their behalf.  After a short description and presentation about the activities of organisation, we were invited into their hangar to see their helicopter that  was on standby for any call-outs,, day or night, every day of the year. After a chance of chatting with the operating crew, we were given the opportunity to take a few photos of the event.

A most interesting morning out, and very worthwhile and humbling experience.  AC

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well.

I just want to share with you a photo of what your contribution from the Rotary has helped to achieve for the students at Belvoir Academy here in Bottesford.

Thank you so much for your support and for believing in Clem. Without brilliant people like you, his dreams could not materialise.

With my love and best wishes,

Kate
