I hope you have all had a restful summer break because this is the start of a very busy period of Club events leading right up to Christmas. Please could I encourage each of you to play as full a part as possible in this most important period of fundraising activities from assisting the Royal British Legion in their Poppy Appeal in October and, of course, our own concerts and supermarket collections in November and December. The funds raised will benefit our own community and this will not be possible without strong support from us all.
It is not all about work though, we have lots of enjoyable entertainment to look forward to as well from Pig Roast, visits, quiz nights, live music events and a posh frocks Christmas Celebration. So lots to do and look forward to.
So, now is the time to support your Club. Please help as much as you can.
Pig Roast Fundraiser Sat 20 Sep
Our first major fundraising event this year is a BBQ held at the Cricket Club on Sat 20 Sep. Members, families, friends and guests are all invited to take part.
Bar will be open from 1pm, and food served around 2:30pm. The Melody Room Jazz Trio of banjo and 2 brass players will provide live trad jazz during the afternoon.
£15 per adult and £10 for children for a full pig roast with salad and dessert (sausages for kids, and a gluten free alternative).
Hopefully the weather will be kind, and we can eat outdoors - so bring your portable picnic seating along to extend the availability of outdoor seating.
And so it was that an intrepid group of members of Banbury Rotary Club braved the travails of HS2 to visit Quainton Mill near Aylesbury.
They were not disappointed: the windmill soared majestically into the air just an easy walk from the pub at which time had been set-aside to share experiences over lunch.
Lend with Care is an enterprising charity that has been running a loan scheme for eligible individuals or suitable groups in support of individuals aiming to be entrepreneurial in their own countries where there is no obvious support for them locally but where there is at least a framework of those who can administer such scheme safely to those providing the capital. There are many countries who cannot organise safe and proper organisation by reliable local agents, so the list may well be shorter than the real need of where help could be provided.
