Social Events
At Portsmouth North Rotary while one of our main aims is to raise funds for local charities, schools and projects we certainly have a lot of fun along the way. Working together with a shared purpose is always great fun, however we also have a series of events planned each year where we get out and about and enjoy ourselves. Here are just a few examples.
RNLI WEEKEND
An enjoyable weekend spent at the RNLI College- Poole with a charity donation.
We enjoyed the RNLI tour of the manufacturing and safety department at the POOLE HQ. Our President was pleased to present a cheque of £1,000 to the RNLI.
Hayling Light Railway.
A trip out on the Hayling Light Railway and lunch was enjoyed by the members. This included a tour of the engine sheds and a talk on the history of the Railway. A donation was presented by Rtn. Mike Sanders
We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary.
Because of the Covid pandemic the event was delayed by two years but nevertheless a weekend away in the New Forest was well supported by all members and a very enjoyable time was had by all.
Our members enjoy other social events throughout the year with skittles and Christmas Parties. Through working together on projects, our regular meetings and social events, we have a lot of fun and create great friendships
