In 2016, the committee (and a quorum of members) made the decision to begin taking a small portion of the funds collected from members’ membership fees to make annual donations to notable charitable causes.
Each year, a charity is suggested and voted upon by members at monthly meetings in the led up to our rally in November. Subsequently, the colours chosen for each year’s rally badge often reflect the colours of the chosen charity.
Details of the charities we have supported are shown below.
If you have any suggestions of a charity you would like to see supported, please contact the Club at [email protected]
