A Typical Rotary Year
During the course of a year there are both social and fund raising activities. The social activities include partner's evenings and visits, the President's Ball, the Christmas Party and Handover. The fund raising events are varied and some are similar to those in previous years. They can be either International projects organised by Rotary International, like Polio Plus, overseas aid projects organised by this club with one or two other clubs either UK or foreign, or UK and local aid projects.
