Summary of Club Activities
What we have been doing recently - Fundraising, Youth and Community Services and Social activities etc
Our last Rotary tea dance was held on 25th February with 67 guests enjoying an afternoon of music and dance. A further £246 in donations was received taking the total for the five tea dances to £1365. This will be split between the Alzheimer’s Society and the Oasis Memory Café at the Baptist Church. Our thanks go to the members of the Inner Wheel Club of Chipping Sodbury, staff of the local branch of the Alzheimer’s Society, the Town Lands Charity and the town hall staff and to Belinda Orford for providing the music and entertainment. Our aim is to kick off the 26/27 season in early October.
It was with great pleasure that our club President, Ian Joseph, inducted Mark Best as a new member at our speaker meeting on 16th March. At this meeting club members enjoyed an interesting presentation from Alan Medcroft about his acting career.
In late February the club staged a very enjoyable quiz evening at Chipping Sodbury Golf Club. The room was full with some 15 teams competing for top spot. Despite this being a social event, due to the generosity of those present, over £300 profit was made and sits in our charity account to go to deserving causes.
The club recently made a sizeable financial contribution to the cost of a fully kitted out ambulance destined for Ukraine. The overall fundraising effort was coordinated by Hereford Rotary Club. Also on the international front the club made a financial donation to the Shelterbox charity which provides emergency aid and shelter to families who have lost their homes to disaster.
Once more this year we have made a donation to St John’s Mead School to to help enable families with limited funding to send their children on their annual trip to a residential facility, The Great Wood Centre.
The club was delighted that, with the generous support of a local resident, we were able to give a repaired Chat Bench to the Baptist Church after it had been vandalised.
Finally, our annual Charity Golf Day will take place on 22nd May at Chipping Sodbury Golf Club. Entries remain open and sponsors are sought for each of the eighteen holes. For further information contact Ian Joseph at bigjos1953@gmail.com.
We are keen to attract new members from all backgrounds. If you would like to know more about Rotary and the varied activities of our club, contact us at csrotaryapplication@gmail.com.
