- We had a fantastic turnout for our 50th Celebration Party at Oaks Golf Club in May, raising over £1,200. We had a lovely evening of fun, dancing, and sharing memories. A massive thank you to the fundraising team for organising such a special event.
- Despite the weather, the “Sunset Evening” at Mayfield Lavender Farm, in July was another fundraising success. Unfortunately there was no sunset but The Banstead Show Choir and the Madder Mill Molly Morris Dancers put on an amazing show, and an enjoyable evening was had by all. Our thanks to Mayfield Lavender Farm for their generous support.
- In May we hosted a lungeing and long reigning demo with Sarah MacDonald, it was great to learn about a new activity and watch the staff show off their skills.
- We had multiple successful fundraising and outreach events at the Banstead Rotary Village Fair, the Belmont Festival and the Church of Good Shepherd Midsummer Fair.
- In May a group from Diamond took part in an 8.5-mile circular walk in the North Downs a sponsored walk,organised by Banstead Rotary and raised money for Diamond.
