The Rotary Club of Rushmoor has over 40 members (men and women) who meet each Wednesday evening commencing at 7:30 with a meal at 8pm.
The Club was founded in 1985 to cater for people in the locality who were unable to meet at the, then traditional, lunchtime meetings. Since that time, the Club has established its own informal style and whilst focussing on helping both the local and international community, the members enjoy themselves through a variety of social activities.
Members come from a wide variety of backgrounds (business, professional, community, tradesmen etc.) and use their vocational skills in the various projects that the Club undertakes.
Examples of Club Projects include:
Donkey Derby - Annual Community event raises £'000s for charities.
Freewheeling - Mobility for Southern Africa - Distribution of wheelchairs and other mobility aids, over 21,000 wheelchairs have been sent so far.
Coping with Life - Series of CDs dealing with issues for children: Bullying, Family Change & Citizenship
