Member Testimonial

“This was a unique opportunity in a small town to join a worldwide club and enjoy the company of Rotarians from so many different backgrounds”

“I was attracted to Rotary’s international reputation and the twinning with the Dutch rotary club of Heerlen”

“The opportunity of putting something no matter how small back into the community that we live in and enjoy the company of like-minded people”

“My wife and I were very impressed with Rotary’s work in eradicating Polio and the fact that Bill Gates (Microsoft Founder) was prepared to donate millions of US dollars and put his trust in Rotary”

Moving through 2018, the snowdrops appeared just in time for our annual parade. We also collected up boxes for the Shelterbox charity, last year we raised over £2,500! We also had an excellent talk from the Trefoil Guild organisation who support guides and scouts across the UK.

Always a quiet time of the year for Shaftesbury Rotary Club, but surprisingly still some interesting activities. Starting with a full report and pictures from the Indian project that we supported, our monthly business meeting, the social occasion of a pre Burns night bash and a fascinating talk by Sir John Stuttard about William Beckford.

Whilst we only had two meetings it was still quite an active month with the business meeting, the Christmas dinner with wives and partners, the Rotary “kids out” circus which we sponsored for local children at Shaftesbury school and, on the last Saturday before Christmas, our brave Rotarians rattled tins and collected money outside Tesco for local deserving causes.

Wow! What a full-on month. Whilst we started quietly with our usual no meeting on the first Monday, we went full speed into getting to know students at the Shaftesbury boarding school, then the annual shoe box collection and delivery followed by a talk about “Rotakids”. A fascinating visit to the Old Vic in Bristol, then our business meeting and AGM. And if that was not enough we undertook mock interviews at the Shaftesbury Academy school and finally concluded with a most interesting talk about a wine vineyard on the outskirts of Shaftesbury.
