Rotary for members in Oxfordshire
All the different fundraising activities that we do in the club.
One of the traditions that stem from before Oxford Spires was founded in 2003 is the annual Carol Singing around Woodstock in aid of the president of that year’s chosen charity. It was originally started in 1995 by Oxford Rotaract and carried on by the founding members of Oxford Spires […]

On the 1st of July, we started the year off with a fantastic day at Cowley Road Carnival. There were 50,000 people expected and the sun was shining making it a very special day.
