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
