 We helped our friends at the Minehead & District Guide Dogs Fundraising Group with their annual Santa Fun Run on Sunday morning. The weather forecast in the run up to the weekend wasn't great, which affected the number of participants, but they still raised over £500! The Guide Dogs volunteers turned out in force and we were pleased to be able to help. A great team effort!

Rotary Club members were pleased to be able to help the Minehead Town Council led Minehead Victorian Christmas event run smoothly last night. It was great to see so many people out to enjoy the evening with lots of businesses staying open. There are more photos of the event on the Minehead Town Council website. Veronica, Brian and Iris of Minehead Lions Club and Mollie of Minehead Rotary Club spent a busy morning packing 26 parcels of Christmas presents for Young Carers attending three local schools. The gifts will be presented to the Young Carers by Rotary Club President Andrew de Mora in December. #christmasiscoming #workingtogether   Is your house at risk of flooding from surface water during or following bad weather? If you live in West Somerset we can now offer help with advice and the supply of items which can prevent or significantly reduce the impact of flood water. Thanks to grant funding the items are heavily subsidised and in most cases only a small donation is required as a contribution to help with re-ordering. For more information visit our Community Page  We are excited to have received a great completion report about the refurbishment of a borehole in a village in Uganda! This project came about following a visit and talk by Cate Whitewood of the Yeo Vale Rotary Club in 2023 and, vitally, with with the support and cooperation of Yeovil Rotary Club. See the full details on our International Theme Page by clicking here Following an interesting talk to Rotary by Craig Goodwin, Butlins Resort Director, two members of the Rotary Club of Minehead were invited to attend the launch of the new Butlins Skypark Play area. Rotarians Mollie Foster and John Baker, along with members of the Minehead Town Council, County Council and press were treated to a full tour of the 164 acre site. The new Skypark is suitable for children of all abilities and provides a safe and secure area for children to learn and play. Butlins is the Town's major tourist attraction and employer and Craig Goodwin is keen to foster good relationships with local groups and the Town and County Councils. Redcoats were on hand to show the guests around. #butlinsminehead #community The photo shows Mollie & John talking to two Redcoats  The Principal of the West Somerset College, Zoe Stucki, was pleased to meet with Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Minehead before the end of term to discuss how some of the Rotary Youth programmes could be included in next terms syllabus. The meeting between Zoe and her Assistant Head Teacher, Joel Cornish and Rotarians, Geoff Dibble and John Baker was very productive. Students will be encouraged to take part in some of the programmes and Rotary will help the college to develop these. All very encouraging for the wider development of our young people. #rotaryyouthcompetitions  |
