The club was formed and adopted the slogan “Working in our Community’ and much has happened since 2018 with a number of signature events now firmly on the local yearly community calendar. The community events are the Annual Santa Run – a favourite of the locals at the end of the year in conjunction with our community partners, The Ormeau Rural Fire Brigade. Other major fundraisers are the annual Rotary Charity Golf Day held at Gainsborough Greens Golf Course and the now very popular, Rotary Teddy Bears Picnic. Both fundraisers have contributed to several charities both local and surrounding. A big thank you to Michael Crandon for providing the hospitality and location for the evening . The meeting was special in that five new members were welcomed to the club on the night. We also welcomed guests who came to learn more about the club and the work that we do.
