Thursday Lunchtimes

As you’ll  have  read  already, we meet at  1.00pm on  Thursday  lunch  times throughout the year  at the Tawny Owl  on  Thamesdown  Drive  (SN25 1WR) and we always try  to  end by  2.00pm.

If  you’re thinking of joining Rotary  in  Swindon, well there’s no  better time than  right now –  in the coming weeks we have  other  new members joining us and it  would be great  if you  feel  you’d like to as well!   If  nothing else if  you  came along  you’d be made very  welcome and you’d find out  more about us and what  we do.

 If  you’d like to  come along  to  a  meeting,   get  in  touch  with  our  secretary,  Steve who  will  give you more details.   sbrainstev@aol.com
