The club has staged a series of Rotary Tea Dances in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall for some years. They provide an afternoon of dance and music for attendees at no cost and include light refreshments (provided by the Chipping Sodbury Inner Wheel Club) and a raffle. Guests are invited to make a donation of their choosing, every penny of which goes to dementia related causes. Advisers from the local branch of the Alzheimer’s Branch are on hand to provide advice and support. In the last series of tea dances that ran from October 2025 through to February 2026, from the donations received, some £1400 was raised, of which £1000 was donated to the Alzheimer’s Society and the remaining £400 to the Oasis Memory Café to help fund a day out on a canal boat at Saul Junction for 30 members of the Memory Café which meets every first and third Tuesdays of the month at the Baptist Church in Chipping Sodbury.
Tea Dance organiser Stuart Fraser said ‘It is so rewarding to see so many people come to the tea dances for an enjoyable afternoon and to have the benefit of raising money that is then donated to the likes of the Alzheimer’s Society which provides such a valuable service across the nation.’
The next series of tea dances is scheduled to get underway in early October 2026. For details please contact the club at csrotaryapplication@gmail.com
This coming Friday 22nd June we have our annual Charity Golf Day in aid of the Southmead Hopital Charity Walkerbot appeal - we still have room for more players so if you are interested please email Ian joseph on bigjos1953@gmail.com
