Rotary Club of Senlac St Leonards
Car Show Donation Presentation

The Rotary Club of Senlac St Leonards donated nearly £5,000 to local charities at a
dinner held at Highwoods Golf Club, Bexhill, on Wednesday 13 th August 2025. The
donations were from the proceeds of this year’s classic car show and craft fayre held
at Rye Rugby Club in June. Dave Miles the club’s organiser of the car show said,
“I’m delighted to hand out this money tonight, for me it’s the best part of organising
the show.” Dave continued by thanking all those who had helped especially Rye Girl
Guiding who received a special donation for their help, Ruth Hayes of the Girl
Guides was very grateful, “We are a very diverse group and the donation went
towards taking some of our guides including those with special educational needs to
camp in Ireland; they gained so much from the experience.”
The main donations were made to Warming Up the Homeless, Rye and District
Community Transport and to Senlac St Leonards’ own charity, The Yellowmen.
Trudy Hampton of Warming up the Homeless said, “We help so many people who
are homeless or in temporary accommodation as well as running a foodbank. I’m so
grateful to receive this money which will help fund our services” Pat Hughes of the
Rye and District Community Transport explained the extent of the transport they
provide, “We have scheduled bus services, a dial and ride and provide transport for
all age groups from school children to the elderly, single passengers and groups. We
need a new bus, so this money will go towards a new one. Thank you so much”
The next car show will be held on 21 st June 2025, again at Rye Rugby Club.
