Rotary Club of Felixstowe Events

Throughout the year, the Rotary Club of Felixstowe, like other Clubs, stages a series of events to raise money enabling the Club to support charities both locally and worldwide. Several of these events have been going for a number of years whilst others have been added and continue if they prove successful. The Club is always looking for new ideas and ways to help good causes whilst at the same time providing fun and entertainment for all who join in.

Musical Highlights for All Tastes

On Thursday July 3, 2010 at 7.30 PM enjoy a fantastic musical evening presented by the Ipswich Gilbert and Sullivan Singers at the Spa Pavilion, Felixstowe. This accomplished group of soloists and chorus singers will be entertaining you with everything from Bach to the Beatles. All proceeds are in aid of the Rotary Club of Felixstowe’s Charities, so make a date in your diary and come and join in a fun filled evening. Tickets available from the Spa Box Office priced at £10.00; Concessions £9.00

Annual Fun Run Up-date

The annual Rotary Club Fun Run took place on Monday 3 May, 2010 with a record number of entrants taking part. Many were in fancy dress and prizes were awarded at the end by Mayor Angel Goodwin, for the ones she and her husband picked out. Unlike the Sunday when the heavens opened (virtually day) and there were gusty winds and crashing waves, the weather was kind and an ideal temperature to run in.

Over £5,000 was raised which goes toward the Rotary Club's various supported Charities; this years main beneficiary being the 'Ipswich Head & Neck Cancer Support Group', who do some wonderful work and are planning to buy a state of the art High Definition endoscope costing some £20,000. This piece of equipment will prove invaluable in early the detection of problems and enable early treatment. A big thank you to all who took part and we hope to see you all plus more next year.

Rudolph in Town

The summer months tend to be a quiet period for Rotary activities but here is a reminder of something to look forward to. Yes we know we are only just into summer and Christmas is a long way away, but you might be surprised at all the preparation that has to take place well before the event.

From the beginning of December up until almost Christmas Day, Santa and Rudolph will be out and about each evening in different parts of Felixstowe and surrounding areas. Apart from providing the children (and grown-ups) a fun time in seeing perhaps one of their favorite people, it also offers a chance to raise money for the less fortunate amongst us.

More details will be available nearer the time with times, dates and routs published in the local press and on this site - around May 2010.
