Cheltenham Sparks Rotary Club

Welcome

Welcome to the homepage of Cheltenham Sparks Rotary Club. Cheltenham Sparks is Cheltenham's newest Rotary Club and is intended to have a younger feel than the existing Cheltenham based clubs.

The aim of the club is to allow its members to socialise, network, work with charities and support the local community. The club is still relatively small, but the current membership already comes from a wide variety of professions including law, financial services, public relations, teaching, medicine and software development.

Cotswold RDA Donation

Submitted by rob on Mon, 2011/12/12 - 22:03

We have donated £300 to Cotswold RDA which is based just up the road from us at the racecourse.

We are always keen to help out local causes and were taken aback by the fantastic work the Cotswold Riding For Disabled Association do. So far we have thrown our weight behind the local RDA by painting numerous outbuildings, work which is set to continue into the New Year, and most recently taking on fundraising for the local charity.

Cotswold RDA Saturday 23rd July 2011 saw the Sparks meet-up at Cotswold Riding for the Disabled Association. Charlie, Genevieve, Jeni, Martyn, Michelle, Rebecca, Rob, Sandi and Simon were joined by Mo Begg from RDA, Maggie the dog and several younger helpers, who shall now be known as the Rotarettes. Thankfully the weather was good as the team spent the day applying wood preservative to RDA's stable block and sheds.

More photos from the day can be viewed in the gallery.
