This month we held the 5th annual North Dorset Cycle ride. It may have been wet but it was great to be holding our first event of the year and getting back out in the community.

It was another quiet month of Zoom meetings but we are raring to get going when restriction are eased. We are very excited that the North Dorset Cycle Ride and Gold Hill Fair are now not far away.

It has been a most turbulent 12 months. Last year, March saw the decisions to cancel meetings and events. This March, whilst all online, we have spent the month planning for what is hopefully a more normal year.

Since lockdown was back in force, we started 2021 with another quiet month. We held 2 zoom meetings this month and the highlight was welcoming a new member to our ranks.

December

With the current 2 week format, usual Christmas break and how the dates fell, we met just once (via Zoom) this December. We also received a lovely letter from KidsOut. We wish you a Merry and Safe Christmas.

November

With Lockdown back in effect, November was a quiet month. However, vaccines were the big news and we spent time discussing how we can assist with the upcoming programme. We also pay our respects for the passing of a good friend.

October

With the new rule of 6, it seems our Zoom meetings are here indefinitely. This month we heard about the completion of the Agritoilets in Malawi, a project we donated to in 2018. Rotary also made it as a mention in the Common’s for our work on eradicating Polio.

After months of virtual meetings, we finally held an event in-person, venturing to Shaftesbury football club for a game of boules. Unfortunately, the freedom was short lived so are back to meeting on-line. We had 2 zoom meetings this month discussing plans for the future.

August

This month had two very interesting zoom meetings. Firstly, we welcome speakers from the Friends of Westminster Memorial Hospital for a presentation. We also heard from Gwyneth Millard who discussed Global Sight Solutions and their work.

July

This month, we sadly saw the date for Gold Hill Fair come and go. However, we still met online to keep in touch, as has become the new normal. With such a quiet month, we also look back to last July, hearing from one of our longest serving Rotarians.

June

Jun 30, 2020 by Shaftesbury RC

It was another month of successfully keeping things going by meeting on Zoom however, it was with great disappointment that we had to cancel the kids out day to Longleat for Yewstock school. June is the time for the annual change of command, with incoming President Steve outlining his plans for the year and a surprise for outgoing President Win. We also welcomed two speakers this month.
