Publicity boost for the club at Bray Christmas Market
|
The Rotary Club of Maidenhead promoted Rotary awareness in the community by having a stand at Bray Village Hall Christmas Market on Saturday 7th December, from 11.30 am until 6.30 pm.
Members took shifts to talk to people about Rotary and the work the club does internationally, nationally and locally. This was also a great opportunity to promote Open Gardens, an event organised by the club, which will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2025. This was a very successful event in previous years and a great time was had by all who took part, either by opening their gardens for charity, or by visiting the many different gardens on offer. |

Silent auction raises funds for charity
|
The Club's penultimate evening meeting for the year at Maidenhead Golf Club on November 25th had an added bonus of a Silent Auction of some extraordinary and generous donations.
The handful of very useful brand new items consisted of an ice cream maker, a slow cooker, dinner service for four, a Multi Chef and a set of nine wooden salad bowls. Four lots were sold. The wooden bowls unfortunately had to return home again, but the organiser Yvonne Johnson-Mullin could happily hand over the rest to three lucky bidders: Patricia Lattimer (twice!), Tony Hill and President Matthew Burdett. Thanks to everyone who contributed – £175.00 was added to the Rotary Club's charity account! |
