Cheque Presentation Evenings
In March 2011 we held our first Cheque Presentation Evening. Seven local groups were invited to the informal event which ended with a buffet meal at our regular venue, The Britannia in Queniborough: East Goscote Girls Brigade, Queniborough Scout Group, Syston Boys Brigade, Thurmaston Lavender Social Group, Syston Friendship Club, Birstall Pre School Special Needs Playgroup and Birstall Youth Cafe.
At our second presentation evening in July 2011 local groups supported included: Thurmaston Boxing Club, Thurmaston Scout Group and Thurmaston Brownies, together with Birstall ATC, Birstall United Juniors FC and Birstall Community College FC. We intend to hold future presentation evenings.
The groups were presented with cheques from monies raised by regular fundraising efforts, such as our Christmas Santa Sleigh and annual Real Ale Festival. It is our way of thanking these groups for what they all do in their own way for the local community and to help them with their future programme of events. If you are involved with, or know of, a group, club or association that you think may wish to benefit in this way please contact us at wvrotaryclub@gmail.com.
