Life as a Rotarian is not all about raising money for charitable causes, helping the community, listening to talks on related topics and committee work. Whilst a surprising amount of enjoyment can be obtained by being engaged in these activities, the mix also includes opportunities for socialising and networking where having a good time is the principal motivator. This page of the website records items which may not otherwise be seen.

The Christmas Dinner prompted our cameraman, Rotarian Richard Taylor, to record a few scenes. Please click here to see them.
Each year at Christmas time the Inner Wheel Club of Wakefield hosts a Sunday lunchtime gathering for mulled wine, canapes and a silent auction. This year the club was very grateful to Maureen and David Grace for making their home available for the event.
The first photograph shows the president of Inner Wheel Jenny White and her husband Colin (back) and Rotary president Sue Parkin with fiance Richard Edge.
The second photograph is of a magnificent Christmas cake created by Pauline and Peter Gallivan which was used to add to the money raised for Inner Wheel's charity fund on the day.
