Annual Quiz, Rotary Ride, Earthfest, Calendar, Charter Night, Christmas Fair & Panto time

We were left a little breathless after events piled up in September but kept on going. We couldn’t believe how quickly they came and went.

Our popular Annual Quiz this year was on Saturday September 7th – a fun packed evening of celebration and brain teasers at Westbourne Hall Community Centre. We raised over £600 for local visually impaired charities and Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.

As in previous years, West Kirby Rotary Club did their bit to raise over £1500 for Prostate Cancer UK in support of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment thanks to your support. On Saturday 21st September with the help of the West Kirby Concourse Sports Centre we pedalled our way to over 200km on the static bikes that they had so generously provided for us.

We lent our support on Saturday 28th September to Wirral Earthfest at St Bridget’s Centre by manning the cafe and raising over £400 for St Bridgets and local visually impaired charities along the way.

Our 2025 charity calendar – “Our Picturesque Peninsular” proved to be a popular seller and has raised over £1700 so far. Our president Tim, a local artist with visual impairment, created this for us to raise funds for local charities that support the visually impaired. Our 2026 calendar is already underway!

In November we celebrated our 10th birthday with a lovely meal at Forza, accompanied by Rotarians from other clubs in the district. One of our founder club members, Beth, is our District Governor this year and she was able to surprise another of our members, Betty, with the Paul Harris Fellow award for her voluntary works throughout the community.

Taking part in West Kirby Sailing Club’s Christmas Fair in November was a real pleasure and we raised around £150 – an unexpected bonus.

And last, but certainly not least, sneaking into 2025 (only just!) we had a club meal at Figo’s followed by a trip to the West Kirby Community Theatre Panto, Robin Hood, at Westbourne Hall – oh yes we did! This was a fun and laughter filled evening with fabulous frocks – oh yes they were. Local charities will benefit from the bucket collection taken at the end of the performances.

Phew indeed and roll on 2025. We are already planning for repeats of these and other events – watch this space and thank you all for your support.
