Like most other Rotaract Clubs we meet twice a month to discuss what events we have got coming up, along with any other important club matters, however the real fun is in attending our many social events!
We have a committee, re-elected every year, who are in charge of organising the events. You may ask, "do you ever do this, or go here?" The answer is, we'll do anything that people are interested in (within reason...).
Club Social Events
Good social events are what makes a Rotaract Club tick. As well as events for the members of our club, we often have joint events with neighbouring clubs.
Following are some examples of the sort of events the club organises:

Keep an eye on our calendar for info on what we've got planned.
- Cinema trips - We often meet up on a weekday evening to see the latest films.
- Meals out - Always a popular choice, whether it be at a local pub, or one of the many restaurants in Windsor.
- Ten-pin bowling - We visit the local centres in Slough or Maidenhead.
- Comedy nights - Recent trips have included an evening at a local comedy club and the filming of "Would I Lie to You?" at Pinewood.
- Beer Festivals - Do I need to say any more?
- Pub quizzes - We enter a team most weeks at a local pub quiz.
Larger Social Events
A few times a year, one of the other Rotaract clubs in our district
organises a formal event for all the district to attend (often over 100 people go).
Examples we have attended recently are:
- Spring Ball - A formal sit-down meal, followed by entertainment such as a live band.
- Murder-mystery evening - Another formal meal, at which a group of professional actors perform a play between courses, resulting in a murder!
- Barn dances - Typically accompanied with either a ploughman's buffet or fish and chips supper.
- Burns' Supper - In January, we dress formally for a Burns meal with Haggis, Neaps and Tatties, this is followed by a Ceilidh.
Conferences and Rallys
Every year, the Rotaract district we are in (which covers the Thames Valley) organises a weekend away in a hotel, somewhere in Britain. During the weekend, there is food, drink, entertainment, speakers, quizzes and much more. There is also an annual national conference, and European and world conferences as well.
Each August Bank Holiday weekend, a camping rally is organised in Banbury, which is usually attended by hundreds of Rotaractors from all over the country.
Community Events
We often try to give a little back to the local community. This can range from gardening for the elderly, tidying churchyards, through to maintaining a local adventure playground.
Other activities have included conservation projects, carol singing, dog walking, and charity collections. A social aspect is often included, such as going to the pub afterwards! We're always open to new ideas if anyone has a project they are particularly passionate about.
Fundraising
Every year, our club raises thousands of pounds for good causes. This money is raised in many different ways.
In the past we have raised money by holding Rotaract District Social events, charging admission and sometimes running a raffle. We have also raised funds from running stalls at fetes, sponsored activities, and helping other organisations with large events.
