Another successful event and very much enjoyed by everyone, a special night as this was the Club’s major community event since becoming a chartered Rotary Club at the end of February earlier this year.
A big thank-you must go to all who took part on the night and to those who organised and ran the event that being the membership of Axbridge District Rotary as a whole – a great team effort.
Come along and find out how we do that. We meet on the first and third Thursdays 7:30pm at The Lamb in Weare (A38).
