Present wrapping for Samaritans Purse 10/11/2012

It was time once again for our annual present wrap/pub lunch! The idea is that we fill decorated shoe boxes with appropriate gifts to be sent as a Christmas present to disadvantaged children around the world. The boxes are filled with toys, games, suitable useful items for either boys or girls within a specific age bracket.

The shoe box scheme is organised by www.samaritanspurse.org  and is known as Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child - Shoe Box Filling & Pub Lunch 12/11/2011



Operation Christmas Child is cause spearheaded by Samaritan's Purse (http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/). The basic premise is simple - buy presents for the children and place them in empty shoeboxes. The boxes then get wrapped up and sent to wrapped them in the Rising Sun pubs function room. As a thank you afterwards we then had a lunch at the pub. Well done to everyone who took part!

Carols at the Running Horses Pub Leatherhead Thursday 10/12/2009

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Recently, member's of the club attended the Running Horses Pub in Leatherhead, for a spot of carol singing. To get them into the true, wholesome spirit of Christmas, there were: candles, a gentleman playing a violin, a roaring fire and a fine selection of real ales. Special thanks to Holly our (teetotal) club Secretary/rambler, for giving us the inside track on the ales. Rambling must be thirsty work.

The Epsom Rotaract Christmas Meal 05/12/2009

On Saturday 5th December 2009, members and friends of the club gathered for the annual Christmas meal. It took place at the Cock Inn, Headley. In addition to the customary sumptuous food, this year's meal had a twist. Club members were given the option of choosing a 'heaven' (good) or 'hell' (not so good), secret Santa present. The undoubted winner of the 'hell' category was John's Cliff Richard 2010 calendar for Rob.
