Accordingly neither the Rotary movement nor the Club is
solely or even primarily just concerned with fund-raising or handing out
substantial financial donations to charity. That said, we do happily and gladly
spend quite a lot of our time raising money in a variety of ways, and we do
enjoy being able to pass the results of our efforts on to deserving causes,
both locally and further afield. |
So how do we raise our funds? And who are the principal
beneficiaries? |
For a dozen or so years, our biggest money spinner was the
bank holiday sponsored race meeting at Plumpton.
Our highest take there was over £8,000 in 1994/95 and
on two other occasions we made more than £7,000. Altogether we collected
over £57,000 from 13 race meetings. The last event we ran at Plumpton was
in 2005. |

The Darts Marathon competition has been increasingly
successful in recent years, starting in 1999 and netting more than
£10,000 in both 2005 and 2006.
Other good fund raisers have included race nights (most
years until 2004) and book fairs (until 2002). Our Christmas street collections
have also raised tidy sums over the years. |
