The Rotary Clubs of Farnborough and Rushmoor are delighted to announce that their famous (locally, at least) Donkey Derby will return in 2022!

It will take place on Monday 29th May (not the usual Bank Holiday Monday as there isn't one in late May this year) and we hope to have as many trade and charity stalls on offer as we used to have before Covid 19 got in the way.

Please watch this space and our Facebook for further announcements, or contact us if you have any queries about the event.

For more information, please visit the Farnborough Rotary website.

Get involved

If you are interested in helping out on the day, please contact the rotary club on [email protected].

The backgrounds of our members are varied. Many people think that Rotary clubs are full of just bank managers and other professional people, this not quite the case.

We have lots of local business people. For example we have a jeweller, an estate agent, sales and marketing professionals, a pharmaceutical dispenser…to name just a few professions of over 50 members.

We also have a retired GP, some local councillors and a restaurant owner. A real mixture of people and personalities….But at present no bank managers. :)…However if you are a local bank manager, (even retired) with the energy to get involved, then we’d love to hear from you.

If you feel you would like to get involved in the community and you can attend our lunch-time meetings, plus you don’t mind meeting once a month for a committee get together, then please get in touch.

We are always looking for people with energy, enthusiasm and a little time on their hands.

If you are interested in coming along to one of our meetings to see us in action and meet the members, please contact our club secretary Tony Myers…Email or call  01252 657574
