Galloway RDA Visit

 Members of our Rotary Club were delighted to present a cheque for £250 to A local Riding for the Disabled Association, Galloway RDA. During the visit, we had the opportunity to learn about how the group operates and saw one of their adult rides in action, enjoying a horse riding lesson followed by some stable management activities. It was fantastic to see the positive impact the group has on its participants

Donation for Stewartry Youth Darts School

Club President Derek Crichton, and member George Dickson stopped by Stewartry Youth Darts School to present the group with a cheque of £250, which was money raised from our last month’s Race Night. While there they heard all about how the group got started, and were delighted to hear that in the short time they’ve been up and running they have over 60 kids regularly attending sessions each week. We think the group are a great addition to the town, a big well done to the organisers who give up their time every Sunday to make it happen

Stewartry Youth Darts School runs every Sunday from 1pm - 5pm the Britsh Legion, Castle Douglas. Check out their Facebook group @Stewartry Youth Darts School
