Beerex - Feb 2024
Write up by Dave Harris and a big thank you to all those involved.
Once again Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary club teamed up with West Dorset CAMRA to put on the Dorchester Beerex. This year’s event exceeded all expectations and generated a massive £27,500.00 which will be donated to local good causes.
The main beneficiary was Amelia’s Rainbow, a local charity that aims to make terminally ill children’s dreams come true.
A cheque for £11,000 was presented to Amelia’s Rainbow representative Farah Batchelor at the Dorchester Youth & Community Centre. On receiving the cheque Farah said” I would like to sincerely thank Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary and West Dorset CAMRA for this massive donation.
We opened Amelia’s Haven our holiday home this week. This money will make a huge difference to the children and Amelia’s Haven. It will give around 30 local families a free holiday in their time of need”
At the same time another cheque was presented to the Dorchester Youth and Community Centre with funds raised from the raffle for £2842.00. This money will be used to keep the Youth Centre running and support youth club nights.
