Fun Run and Walk Spectacular.

In conjunction with The Running Shop, Aberdeen, Oldmeldrum Rotary Club will be organising a 5 Km Fun Run and / or Walk Spectacular on :-

Sunday 7th December 2008, starting at 1.00p.m.
in the grounds of Haddo House Country Park.

Run or walk 5Km dressed as Santa to raise money for Charity,
(and get yourself fit and slim before the festive season).

First 200 adult entrants will receive a free Santa Claus costume. Late entrants and juniors – wear something festive!

For more details, see below :-

Want to do something different at Christmas that makes a difference?

Well, why not sign up for the Oldmeldrum Rotary Club Santa Fun Run and raise money for charity….

Come along to Haddo House Country Park on Sunday 7th December and run, or walk, the 5K course, starting off at 1pm.

The Entry Fees are : Runners - Adult (18 and over) £15, Juniors (14-17) £5: Walkers - Adult £13, Juniors (under 18) £2. The first 200 adult entrants will receive a Santa Suit to wear during the race and keep afterwards (it might come in handy again during the festive season!). Juniors and late entrants wear something festive.

Why not make it a family occasion? For insurance reasons, only those over the age of 14 can enter the running race, but anyone can take part in the walk. Perhaps you would like to enter as a works team with your colleagues, as part of the Healthy Working Lives Programme?

As an incentive; there will be prizes for the first 3 "Father Christmas's" and "Mother Christmas's" and other additional spot prizes.

On a more serious note…. we do ask that you obtain sponsorship with your entry. Half the money you raise will go to the Rotary Charity - PolioPlus and the other half can go to the charity of your choice. Why this charity? Well, Rotary International has been actively involved in the eradication of Polio worldwide through mass immunisation programmes, and it is now currently only endemic in 4 countries. The aim is to raise enough money to ensure that this terrible disease is totally eradicated, and through the sponsorship money raised Oldmeldrum Rotary hopes to support this worthy cause.

If you would like to participate, please download the Entry Form, fill it in and post it with your cheque to:-
Lara Anderson, 4 Craigend Road Ellon AB41 9FB

You can also download a Sponsorship Form and Santa Fun Run Poster

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Oldmeldrum website, and here is a bit about us.

Oldmeldrum Rotary Club was formed in 1999 and is a lively, active, forward thinking club with an enthusiastic membership of male and female members drawn from the business and professional communities of Oldmeldrum and surrounding areas.

Oldmeldrum has grown from being primarily a centre for the agricultural industry to a busy small friendly town with increasing links to the oil industry of Aberdeen.

In order to encourage and foster the Rotary ideal of service in our local community and beyond, the Club undertakes a variety of service responses in vocation, community and international activities for the promotion of goodwill and understanding.

As well as the regular Monday night meetings in the Redgarth, the Club regularly organises a number of extra mural activities and social events, e.g. the Haddo Easter Egg Hunt and visiting the local communities with our Santa Sleigh. It has developed close links with the local schools, and Club members actively contribute to the improvement of community facilities. The Club also raises significant sums of money for local and international charities.

For further details of these activities, click on the different links at left.

The Club produces a A4 size news sheet, the "Squeeky Wheel", primarily as information for members. If you would like to download a copy in PDF format, click on the link below.

We are a friendly welcoming Club. If you want to know more about us, or would like to attend a meeting, please contact the Secretary, or one of the Club members.
