Special Projects

Aim & Objectives
The Aim of the Special Projects Committee in Rotary Year 2024-25 is to organize and deliver the Club’s second Gig in the Garden, building on the experience gained from last year’s event. Combining fellowship and fundraising – maximized through the inclusion of an auction and/or raffle, the event is intended to provide an evening of entertainment for Club members, their friends, as well as Rotarians and their families and friends drawn from local clubs. The Committee will seek volunteer support from across the Club.

Specific Objectives are as follows:

• Plan and deliver Gig in the Garden 2024 (agreed date Saturday 17 Aug 24), including the provision of an entertainment programme, the necessary power, AV, lighting, overhead cover and staging requirements, licensing as necessary, plus provision, as far as practicable, for inclement weather; target – 150 attendees.
• Working with other committees and the wider membership, elicit support in planning the event and in coordinating efforts to ensure its success on the night.
• Working with the Admin, Fellowship & PI Committee, identify and exploit potential PI opportunities of the Gig in the Garden event, demonstrating and emphasising the Club’s vibrancy, visibility and volunteering credentials.
