Rotary Club
The Club, which was founded 10 years ago, now meets every Tuesday evening at the Horse & Jockey at Twyn-yr-odyn.

As a small dual gender club of 18 members, mainly from the village and the surrounding area, we place a strong emphasis on fellowship.

The Club plays an active roll in village life generally participating in social events. Our annual variety concert and our line dance are particular favourites. We also help with the village clean-up in readiness for the ‘Best Kept Village Competition’.

Our efforts spread beyond the village. Each year we arrange for a party of children from Oakfield Primary School in Barry to visit ‘Techniquest’ and we have planted an oak tree at the school. Mary Immaculate High School has been presented with a Rotary shield which is awarded to the most deserving student of each year.

Thanks to the support and generosity of the villagers we raise a significant amount of money for charity.

Local charities we have supported include Ty Hafan, Cancer Research Wales, Breast Cancer Wales, the Noah’s Ark Appeal, Meningitis Trust Wales and the Amelia Trust.

ROTARY CLUB OF BARRY VALE

July News


In my last report I mentioned our annual Rotary 'Kids Day Out' for a class from Oakfield Primary School in Barry. The new venue - the Hollywood Bowl in Cardiff Bay was a great success. The children thoroughly enjoyed their ten-pin bowling experience – a first time for most of the class.

A guest visitor last month was Bob Gibbons - the newly appointed Assistant Governor for our District who has the unenviable task of visiting all 73 Rotary clubs in the area during his tenure. He was pleasantly surprised by the warm reception he received and the informal way in which the club is run. Incoming President Ann Miller outlined our achievements last year and our programme for the next.


Ann takes over the Presidency at our Handover dinner to be held at Cottrell Park golf club on 2nd July – we wish her every success.
