The Epsom Rotaract Race Night 24/04/2010

Under starters orders.. on your marks, get set... go! The club staged its annual Race Night, raising money this year for the Fire Fighters Charity.

The St Ebbas Garden Project: Day 3. 27/03/2010



Members of the Epsom Rotaract Club assisted Epsom Rotary in their latest community project. The aim of the project is to clear the garden and turn it into a sensory garden for the mentally handicapped children at the facility. Rotaractors, Rotarians and friends spent a couple of hours at St Ebbas Hospital's garden. They were clearing parts of it that had become overgrown. Footpaths were cleared and a fresh coat of paint was added to areas of the garden. No nook or cranny was left unturned, as they approached the conclusion of the project. A good job was done by all involved.

Epsom Rotaract New Years Eve Celebrations 31/12/2009 - 03/01/2010

Happy New Year! Members of the Epsom Rotaract club converged at a cottage at Nettlecombe Farm (http://www.nettlecombefarm.co.uk/) in Whitwell, for 3 nights to see in 2010. The group celebrated the new year in style at the local pub. There was a 'fancy dress' theme, causing the Rotaractors to morph into various characters including, among others: a vicar, some robbers, a gangster, a sheep and a farmer. Never before had characters such as these wandered the streets of the Isle of Wight. Well, apart from a sheep and a farmer. And a vicar.
