Join us for dinner at the Cumberland and Club Night with President Trevor.

Rotary has committed to support Applefest on Saturday 7 March. We will have a rotary marquee where we can chat with members of the pubic and talk all things Rotary. The Applefest Committee is expecting to be inundated with lots of visitors and has secured some parcels of private land for additional parking. They are now seeking Rotarians to volunteer as parking attendants for a 1.5 hour shift in the morning and then afterwards invite you to enjoy the festivities and of course drop in to the Rotary Marquee.
