All the different fundraising activities that we do in the club.
This Christmas the Rotary clubs of Oxford Spires and Abingdon are holding a Jingle Bell Jog where you can do 2k or 5k by either running, walking or cycling in fancy dress for OK Our Kids. https://www.okourkids.org.uk/about-ok-our-kids/ The event runs from the 18th of December to 19th of January […]

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.
