October
A busy month for us as we entertained the guests from the Rotary Club of our twinned town of Heerlen, Netherlands, we heard tales of Rotarian Martin Sayers’ summer travels, attended a multi-district Rotary conference, partook in the inaugural Halloween Walk, listened to a talk from the Albert Edward Tyler collection and had our usual business meetings. We also sadly acknowledged the passing of two retired Rotarians in Mike Robinson and Michael Elliot.
September
An interesting month for us this month, including a theatre visit, a fundraising event in Gillingham, a tour of Longford Castle and a talk from a former member of the Metropolitan police force.
August
A lean month this month, but we did host an enjoyable visit from a member of the Sydney Cove Rotary Club from Australia. On topic of overseas Rotary Clubs, we discussed the upcoming visit of Rotarians from our twin club in Herleen in the Netherlands, as well as upcoming events for the remainder of the year.
July
We started our new Rotary year with our Presidential handover and a presentation. We also had the yearly Gold Hill Festival, a Fellowship Dinner, plans from various committees and a Supper/Quiz night.
June
Not a high-profile month for us, but busy nonetheless with the aftermath of the Charity Cycle Ride and the final plans for the Gold Hill Festival and Dog Show to put together. President David is nearing the end of a busy year for the club and is already looking at what to tackle next.
May
We kicked May off with the North Dorset Cycle Ride in aid of Prostate Cancer UK and other local charities. We followed that up with a talk from the Hilltop Litter Pickers. We ended the month with incoming Rotary President Peter Sale presenting his plans for the coming year.

The big takeaway from April was the 60th Anniversary Celebration of Shaftesbury Rotary Club. We also had our AGM meeting, our usual business meetings, including a talk from retired nuclear submarine commander Tim Green and we announced the winner of the Shaftesbury Rotary Caldwell Award.
March
A busy month for the Club as we received a talk on Shelterbox, held a charity racing night and inducted a new member in Andy Cole, whilst Shaftesbury School was represented at the Young Chef District Final and the RotaKids club hosted a bingo afternoon,
