Swanage Rotary host 2012 Christmas Breakfast
Tue, Dec 25th 2012 at 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Each year members and friends of Swanage Rotary host a breakfast for those who might otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.
2012 was no exception and a willing group of helpers ensured all our guests were transported to the United reform Church in swanage despite some indifferent weather.
All those present were treated to a "full English" breakfast (cooked by a team including our District Governor). Music was once again provided by the Buckle family and santa even found time after a busy night to deliver some late presents kindly donated by the Swanage Inner Wheel and Chococo.
Organiser Gary Richardson was keen to thank all those involved - especially the retailers who had kindly donated the food, Swanage Coop, Budgens & Shop & Save.
A good time was had by all and everyone went on their way having heartily sung several carols, despite the efforts of the Swanage rotary Choir.
